Man United youngster Joe Hugill signs new two-year deal with the Red Devils
Joe Hugill has signed a new contract with Manchester United ahead of joining Burton Albion on loan for the season.
The striker has put pen to paper on a deal until 2026 at United with the option of a further year but will now continue his development with Martin Paterson at League One strugglers Burton.
Hugill, who signed from Sunderland in 2020, has been on the bench four times for United this season including for the FA Cup win at Wigan this week.
While his loan was agreed with Burton early in the week, he has been called upon by United to cover for injuries in training. He is in line to go straight into Burton's squad to face Derby County on Monday.
United midfielder Hannibal Mejbri is expected to choose Sevilla over Everton for his loan move which may include a buying option and buy-back clause.
As Mail Sport revealed, PSV Eindhoven are among the clubs keen on Facundo Pellistri while Benfica have asked about left-back Alvaro Fernandez who is on loan at Granada.
There is interest in Dan Gore too but United are still waiting on clubs to firm up approaches.
Burton - who are 17th in League One - only just announced the appointment of Martin Paterson as their new manager on Thursday.
