Ibrahim to gain first-team experience at Scunthorpe

Scunthorpe United have signed Manchester City midfielder Abdisalam Ibrahim on a month-long loan deal. Ibrahim is on the fringes of Roberto Mancini's first-team squad at City and has been allowed out to gain further experience. The Norway Under 21 international has made three appearances during his City career and made his debut against Scunthorpe in the FA Cup 12 months ago. His arrival at Glanford Park will be a boost to Iron manager Ian Baraclough, who has failed in moves for strike duo Will Hoskins and Glenn Murray this week. Baraclough is expected to include Ibrahim in his squad when the struggling Iron travel to Leeds United in the Championship on Saturday.
