Man Utd midfielder Wellens almost brings departing Oldham boss Sheridan to tears

Manchester United midfielder Charlie Wellens struck the winner as loan club Oldham Athletic defeated Eastleigh 3-2 in the National League this week.

Wellens' goal ensured John Sheridan left as a winner, with the Latics manager to be replaced by David Unsworth.

Sheridan said: "I don't cry much but I nearly came to tears.

"The fans are unbelievable."

Wellens can play at full-back or in midfield and scored in United's Premier League 2 opener against Arsenal this season before heading out for his first loan move.
