Man Utd ‘set to lose fourth player in 12 days’ with another transfer exit imminent as Jadon Sancho joins Dortmund

MANCHESTER UNITED youngster Joe Hugill is on the verge of completing a loan move to Burton.

The 20-year-old striker will become the fourth player to leave Old Trafford during the January transfer window.

According to the Manchester Evening News, Hugill is set to complete his move after a deal was agreed last week.

The transfer had been delayed due to United’s striker shortage requiring Hugill to train with the first-team.

He was also on the bench for Monday’s FA Cup win at Wigan, his fourth time as an unused substitute this season.

Hugill penned a new two-and-a-half year deal with the Red Devils on Wednesday and could make his Burton debut against Derby on Monday.

His impending exit sees him follow Donny van de Beek, Sergio Reguilon and Jadon Sancho out the door.

United activated the break clause in Reguilon’s loan to see him return to Tottenham earlier this month.

Meanwhile, both Van de Beek and Sancho have gone on loan to Germany, with the Dutchman joining Eintracht Frankfurt.

Sancho has now joined him in the Bundesliga after completing a temporary return to Borussia Dortmund.

Hugill joined United’s academy in 2020, signing from Sunderland as a 16-year-old.

He spent the second half of last season on loan in the National League with Altrincham.

Although he has yet to make his senior United debut, Hugill has scored seven goals in nine Premier League 2 matches this term.
