SUNDERLAND have completed a £5.5 milion double swoop for Donald Love and Paddy McNair from Manchester United. 

Both 21-year-olds have penned four-year contracts with the Black Cats and become manager David Moyes' second and third signings since taking charge of the Premier League club. 

McNair, who starred for Northern Ireland at Euro 2016, had been linked with a move to Celtic earlier this summer but has instead teamed up with former Old Trafford boss Moyes at the Stadium of Light. Glasgow Times: David Moyes held his first press conference as new Sunderland manager on Monday

Scotland Under-21 international Love spent the first half of last season on loan at Wigan and can play either at right-back or centre-back. 

McNair, who made 27 senior appearances at Old Trafford, is equally versatile with an ability to play in defence and midfield. 

"Sunderland AFC have completed the double signing of Paddy McNair and Donald Love from Manchester United for a fee of £5.5 million," read a club statement.

"The versatile 21-year-olds have both put pen-to-paper on four-year deals and become David Moyes’ second and third signings as Sunderland manager."

Former Everton, Man United and Real Sociedad manager Moyes, who was interviewed for the Celtic job earlier this summer, was delighted to inject some youth into his squad ahead of the new campaign. 

“Donald comes highly recommended and is another young player who I hope can develop and improve here," Moyes told safc.com.

“I want to add some young players to the squad as well as some senior players and both of them have got really good potential and the opportunity to improve.

"I want to bring in players who are here for the long-term as well as the short and hopefully these two are here for the long-term.”

Sunderland will begin their Premier League season on Saturday with an away trip to the Etihad Stadium to face Pep Guardiola's Manchester City.
