Sunderland announce Paddy McNair and Donald Love double signing

David Moyes has continued his Sunderland revolution with the signings of Paddy McNair and Donald Love from former club Manchester United.

The total fee Sunderland have paid for the pair is £5.5million with the two defenders both signing four-year deals with the Black Cats.

Moyes, who succeeded new England manager Sam Allardyce at the Stadium of Light this summer, had already added Papy Djilobodji to his Sunderland squad with McNair and Love becoming his second and third signings.

The two 21-year-old defenders were both on the fringes of the United squad and new Old Trafford boss Jose Mourinho saw no place for them in his plans this season.
