Manchester United Under-21s striker Joe Hugill is officially the Premier League 2's Player of the Month for January.

The youngster was in outstanding form this past month, netting five goals in four matches.

United's Under-21s managed to win every one of those games, defeating Fulham, Liverpool, West Ham and Blackburn.

Hugill is one of many who may be hoping to get a chance with coach Erik ten Hag's first team in the coming months.

However, he is likely to spend the rest of this season with the Under-21s, with pre-season being the likeliest chance he will get for extended time with the first team.
