Joe Hugill

Joe Hugill is retained at Manchester United for 2023/24 season ➤ Forward with jersey number 39 ➤ This 21 years old English Footballer was born on October 19, 2003.

Hugill, Joseph Brennen was signed by Manchester United from Sunderland in the summer of 2020.

The striker from Durham spent a year at Newcastle United before joining the Black Cats.

Hugill made an immediate impact at United, quickly integrating into the Under-23s team despite his youth and adapting like a duck to water. This came after a two-goal debut against Blackburn Rovers at The Cliff.

The English forward’s persistent work ethic rewarded him with a spectacular goalscoring record in Neil Wood’s U23s team, highlighted by a four-goal haul against Liverpool in Premier League 2. Hugill became only the second Red in post-war history to score so many goals for the club in a single game against the Merseysiders. The first was Steve James.

After scoring 10 goals in 11 starts (plus seven substitute appearances) for the Under-23s and 6 goals in 6 for the Under-18s, he was promoted to training with the first-team squad in the 2021 offseason.

Hugill’s game time in the 2021/22 season was cut short due to injuries, including one sustained while on a work experience loan at Forest Green Rovers. In March 2022, the kid quickly got back into the swing of things, scoring five goals in five games.
