📽 MATCH MOMENT | Joe Hugill doubled our lead with an emphatic effort, created by fellow Academy Red Maxi Oyedele...

The talented 21-year-old featured for United in our pre-season victory over Rangers in Edinburgh, netting our second goal in a 2-0 win, before joining the Latics and wearing their no.9 shirt under Shaun Maloney.

Hugill found the net for Wigan as recently as 29 December, when he scored in a 2-1 defeat to promotion-chasing Wrexham.

He made 18 appearances, in total, for the Latics and now returns to Carrington to continue his development, as the recall clause has been activated in the loan agreement.

Welcome back, Joe!
