Wilson joined Manchester United as a teenager and made his made his way to the highest grade of the club. He has spent the last three years on various loan spells with the latest being last season at Sheffield United for the second half of last season.
Although United lack options in their final third at the moment, Wilson does not tickle the fancy of Mourinho and the 22-year-old will be spending this season on another loan spell in a bid to accelerate his development.
It was Luis Van Gaal that handed opportunity to the youngster, where he had his debut against Hull City in the Premier league and scored twice. He was not even among the United squad that traveled to the USA for their pre-season tour, which mean Mourinho does not rate him.
The player has been signed as a direct replacement for Adam Rooney, who joined Salford City and he will don the no.9 Jersey.
“I am very happy to be here,” he told the club’s website. “It was my coach at Manchester United Ricky Sbragia who first told me about the interest from Aberdeen, probably three or four weeks ago, but I have since heard that the club have been following my progress for a good while. They have kept an eye on me which is nice.
“I just felt coming to Aberdeen was the right decision to make. I have spoken to the manager on the phone. He is very positive. He told me a lot about his philosophy and plan for me going forward for the season.
“I chose Aberdeen because it is a massive club. Scottish football is also getting a lot of coverage, a lot of good coverage. I know a lot of the Aberdeen games are televised. All round I feel it is the right move for me. It is a new beginning for me really.
“A few of my loan moves have not worked out as well as I would have hoped so this one is very important. It is a big year for me. I am hoping to get as many minutes under my belt as I can and hopefully get goals to help the team push forward.
“Without blowing my own trumpet, I do back myself and I am a confident lad. I would like to think that this will be a good move and will be a special year. Confidence is very important for a striker. If you can keep it high then everything else will follow.”
