Estimated read time 1 min read

In anticipation of the upcoming January transfer window, Manchester United is actively seeking to fortify its squad, especially given the team’s disappointing start to the 2023/2024 season, currently placing them in the 7th position on the Premier League table.

Facing goal-scoring challenges with players like Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial, Rasmus Hojlund, and Antony falling short, the Red Devils are reportedly looking to secure the future of 20-year-old England International striker Joe Hugill. Having joined the club from Sunderland in 2020, Hugill has proven himself a vital asset in the youth team, notably contributing with 12 goals in 21 appearances during the 2022/2023 season.

According to Transfer News Live, Manchester United is impressed with Hugill’s performances and is ready to offer him a contract extension. Manager Erik ten Hag sees Hugill as a key part of the team’s future and aims to foster his development at Old Trafford. The young striker, who has showcased his prowess with eight goals and one assist in 12 matches this season, is expected to sign the contract soon, aspiring to make his mark in the first-team squad by the end of this season.
