Newcastle snap up Giuseppe Rossi on loan

Newcastle have agreed a surprise loan deal for highly-rated Manchester United youngster Giuseppe Rossi. The 19-year-old will join the Magpies until January, but will not be available to play against Man Yoo.

Earlier in the summer, Sir Alex Ferguson had ruled out a loan move for his starlet but has backed down at Rossi's request. Ferguson said: "It was a big decision for us especially as we don't have the choice of strikers. But this is something that Giuseppe wanted as he needs regular first-team football."
