Manchester United have agreed a £250,000 deal with Sunderland for teenage striker Joe Hugill.
The 16-year old is an old fashioned style centre forward and is seen as one who could develop and give United’s youth ranks a different dimension.
United have been keen to tie up a deal since March and Hugill has a decent goal scoring record at U18 level which prompted a promotion to Sunderland’s U23s earlier this year.
Hugill however will have to wait to ratify his move as lockdown restrictions mean he will be unable to complete the relevant medical just yet.
