United have signed the midfield dynamo Willo Flood for another years loan from Cardiff City. Willo played a big part in United's CIS Cup run and improved League placing last season.

The 23-year-old made 44 appearances for the United last season, winning the SPL Goal of the Season award for his strike against St Mirren.

The former Manchester City player spent three months on loan at the Sky Blues in the 2005/06, making eight appearances and scoring one goal.

He moved from Manchester City to Cardiff for £200,000 in 2006 before spending last season on loan at Tannadice.
