Great move for the lad.Chance for first team action out of the limelight and constant speculation in this country
Got a PM from the newbies, Burrow says
Hi! In regards to the Joshua King-thread in the reserve forums: His agent has indeed confirmed that he is to be loaned out for a year, but denies that there will be any sorts of buy-out-agreement. It will be a simple, straightforward loan-deal, and Jim Solbakken (his agent) adds that Man Utd are determined to give King a chance when they see fit. Just wanted to add that little bit to avoid any rumours about King leaving permanently.
Joshua King
- Thread starter LouisRocca
- Start date
good league and club to go to
can watch him on TV here too

He was/will hardly be centre of constant limelight here.
It's a good taste of european experience. Hopefully he impresses there and comes back with plenty of confidence.
His first Bundesliga game for Monchengladbach is against Bayern Munich away.
His first game (German Cup) for Monchengladbach is against Jahn Regensburg away.

It`s not a done deal........he will undergo surgery (Adductors) in the next week and Monchengladbach will make a decision about him in August.
He is so unlucky with injuries..
King to Mönchengladbach on loan
Borussia Mönchengladbach's director Max Eberl has confirmed that King will move to Gladbach on loan. ''King is a quick attacking player with big potential.''
King has not had his medical yet though but is expected to be given jersey number 15.

It`s a done deal now!!!!
He`s maybe in the squad against Bayern Munich on Sunday.

Here's hoping he turns some heads and is more fortunate when it comes to injuries.
Would have preferred him to go to Swansea / Norwich or the like.
Good luck JK.

Hope to see Mathew Leckie and Yuki Otsu in action at Gladbach too, Marco Reus is quality as well. They seem to be a bit stocked in attack though so hopefully King gets his chance to play
He is on the bench tonight, hopefully he gets on.
King is on for the last 4 minutes
By my count he played 4 minutes and 22 seconds during which time he committed one foul, lost one aerial duel and completed 3/4 passes - two short backwards passes and one short sideways pass. The failed pass was a short sideways pass.
All in all a very promising debut.

Just scored his first goal for Norway u21s.
Missed a pen too. Looked decent, perhaps not at his very sharpest.
How is he coming along in the Bundesliga? Hopefully not another case of Kiko-Sampdoria type loan spell, haven't heard much.
Played about 5 mins so far
On the bench this weekend. Never made it on the pitch.

Been carrying a knock apparently. What else is new?
Well the first XI are playing fantastic football since the start of the season......so why should the manager make a change.
Unlucky for him that the Monchengladbach strikers are playing very well so far.
A season's long... I hope to see some sustained brilliance from him... Such an exciting player!
Josh king played the last 15 minutes at the weekend in a 1-0 loss against hoffenheim he might get some more minutes with de camargo and bobadilla injured
Hope so!
Anybody following him? Has he played any significant minutes.
Not playing much
Another baffling loan by us.
Give him time. HAd he stayed with us he would have only been playing reserves. HOpefully he gets minutes, or withdrawn and sent on loan somewhere else in January if he isn't playing.
Why do we loan out young players to teams in foreign leagues, that won't even give them a chance?
Hopefully he'll learn from his experience because he's got great potential. As a winger, as a striker he's quality. This is another example of how selfish certain clubs are - why loan a player if you won't give him a chance to express himself?
Loan him out to Molde next season
Dream signing for meLoan him out to Molde next season
He's injured atm.
Think if we loan him, it should be to a championship or lower prem club. he needs that more then anything else and to stay fit obviouslyLoan him out to Molde next season
@AdamSMarshall: Monchengladbach say Josh King has a groin problem and could return to #mufc: "We will talk to the club and see whether it still makes sense"
Obviously, but I doubt he'd get much gametime in a lower PL-club to be honest. Perhaps a loan to Peterbrough? I was sort of just joking about the Molde-comment, but it would be a great deal as he'll get regular first team football, while being monitored by someone who goes by his club like we do in United, from everything from philosophy to how they schedule their training. The only problem is that he'll not get matching against good enough opposition, but a 6 month loan in January could actually be a good thing. If we decide to take him back now that he's injuried, ofcourse.Think if we loan him, it should be to a championship or lower prem club. he needs that more then anything else and to stay fit obviously
He's back with United after BM cancelled his loan. Hopefully he'll be fit and go out on another loan, so this season wont be a total writeoff on his behalf.
All these injuries are starting to worry me. Needs a couple of full seasons of playing football if he is to develop into a United first team player soon.
Agreed.
The Norwegian U21-coach just recently suggested that King might come back to Norway on a loan-deal, where Molde would probably be the most obvious club. I really want this to happen, but I sort of wish that King will be matched against higher quality sides aswell..
