The Tigers have been in discussions with the Old Trafford club this week and an agreement is understood to have been thrashed out. Powell moved to United for £4m as a teenager but has found opportunities hard to come by. He did come off the bench in the Champions League defeat at Wolfsburg in December - on the night when Louis van Gaal’s side were knocked out - but it is one of only two appearances the attacking midfielder has made. United legend Bruce wants Powell to bolster his attacking options for the rest of the season.
