Josh Harrop's perfect conversion rate wasn't enough to earn him another contract at Manchester United.
The Premier League side announced Friday that the 21-year-old - who scored in his only start for the senior squad during United's 2-0 win over Crystal Palace on the final day of the season - will join Preston North End when his contract expires at the end of the month.
"I'm 21 now and I'm confident in myself, I need to play first team football to get myself out there," Harrop, who put pen to paper on a four-year contract, said in an interview on Preston's website. "That wasn't guaranteed at United, even though they offered me a new contract it was very limited in game time and so I couldn't take that risk at my age."
Harrop led United's reserve team in scoring with 10 goals in 25 appearances last season.
