League One side Portsmouth have signed defender Di'Shon Bernard from Manchester United and striker Paddy Lane from Fleetwood.
Bernard, 22, who started in Chelsea's academy before joining United as a teenager, joins Pompey on loan.
He made his only first-team appearance in 2019 in the Europa League and spent last season on loan at Hull, making 28 appearances.
Lane, 21, has joined on a three-and-a-half year deal for an undisclosed fee.
Lane was named League One's Young Player of the Season in 2021-22 and received his first call-up to the Northern Ireland senior squad in March 2022.
"He's a fantastic young player who can not only impact the squad now, but also has huge potential," Pompey boss John Mousinho told the club website.
"Paddy has a lot of guile and can beat players, while he has a wand of a left foot that our fans will love to see."

Why should a man go to work, if he has the health and strength to stay in bed?
