United manager Scott Hellewell spoke to The Linc, and said: “It’s a big blow, it came out of the blue a bit. We’re disappointed, but we can’t stand in his way when it’s two leagues above and his hometown club.
“He’s been good for us, and built up a really good partnership with Owen [Vincent]. Hopefully he will go there and kick on, he’s a good striker.”
