Blackpool have completed the signing of free agent former Manchester United striker Phil Marsh.

The 21-year-old Old Trafford academy graduate has joined the Seasiders following a successful six-week trial.

Marsh was released by the Premier League champions back in June.

Meanwhile, manager Simon Grayson has revealed he missed out on a couple of transfer deals leading up to the close of the window on Friday.

"I have said on a number of occasions I will not sign players for the sake of it they have to add something to our squad," he told the club's official website.

"We were close to completing a couple of deals on Friday but for various reasons they didn't happen."
