Carlisle have signed Manchester United duo Charni Ekangamene and Sam Byrne on loan until the end of the season.

Both Belgian midfielder Ekangamene, 19, and Republic of Ireland youth striker Byrne, 18, are yet to play for United.

Ekangamene will fill the gap left by Prince Buaben's departure after he joined Scottish side Partick Thistle earlier on transfer deadline day.

Fellow United youngster Tom Lawrence has returned to Old Trafford after Carlisle failed to extend his loan.
