Joe Hugill | heading to Wigan on Loan

Apparently we exercised the call back clause. Are we planning a new loan, sale, or is there a chance he's being considered as a squad option?

Anything is better than zero presence of Rashford.

We're looking for a new loan apparently

He’s not started a league game for Wigan since October so I’d imagine he’ll be loaned to a lower league 1 side or even league 2
 
Ah, finally that guy can test his theory that Hugill is better than Hojlund
 
I'd keep him at the club for the rest of the season.

Firstly we need another option up top. Zirkzee hasn't got goals in him.

Secondly if we want to create some value from him in terms of a sale a few appearances for us with maybe the odd goals here and there(he's capable of this) would do far more that some loan to a league one club for a few month.
 
Head coach Mike Williamson:
“We are delighted to have been able to bring Joe in. He’s somebody who we have been pursuing for a while.

“He gives us pace and power, and he’ll bring another dimension to our play. He’s got goals in him, so we’re delighted he’s chosen to come to us.”

Sporting Director Rob Clarkson:
“We are delighted that Joe has chosen to join us for the remainder of the season.

"He is a goalscorer who adds real pace to our centre forward options.

"There was a lot of interest in Joe so we are very pleased he has chosen us as the right club for him at this stage in his career.

"We have been in contact with Manchester United for some time now and we thank them for their cooperation and allowing us to get this loan deal agreed."

It’s interesting how pace has become a focal point of his attributes. It wouldn’t have been near his strengths at u18s level imo but you could see when he returned from his previous loan spells that he suddenly had a burst of pace at u21s level that he didn’t have before.
 
Full 90 for Hugill in his debut. A couple of chances, one of which was a header that was cleared off the line.
