'A great E-Di’Shon...huge from us...start of a busy day' - Portsmouth fans deliver verdict of Manchester United arrival Di’Shon Bernard

Pompey fans have delivered their verdict on their latest January recruit Di’Shon Bernard.

The Blues have confirmed the arrival of the 22-year-old, who penned a loan deal for the remainder from Manchester United.

The centre-back becomes the third new face of the January window, with Ryley Towler and Matt Macey joining earlier in the month.

Bernard came through the ranks at Chelsea before making the move to the Red Devils’ academy, aged 16.

During his time at Old Trafford, the defender made one first-team outing - which came in the Europa League during the 2019-20 campaign.

He’s also spent loan spells in League Two with Salford as well as Championship side Hull.

The Fratton faithful have given their seal of approval of Pompey’s new man and are keen for further deadline day arrivals.

Here are the best of the reactions from Twitter.
