Jan 16 (Reuters) - Hull City have agreed a deal to sign Manchester United's 25-year-old Angolan striker Manucho on loan to the end of the season.

Hull boss Phil Brown told reporters: "He is a proven scorer at certain levels, though not yet at Premier League level, but is 6ft 4ins and certainly good in the air."

Hull, who completed the signing of Ireland international winger Kevin Kilbane from Wigan Athletic on Thursday, still have to obtain a work permit for Manucho, who has made one Premier League appearance for Manchester United this season.
