Manchester United striker Joe Hugill has completed his loan move to Burton Albion.

Hugill signed a new deal ahead of making the switch.

"We want to thank Manchester United for trusting us with the development of a player they have high hopes for," said new Brewers boss Martin Paterson.

"I pride myself on developing strikers and I think Joe can be a really good addition for us."

Hugill also said: "It's a great opportunity for me. As my first Football League loan I'm really excited for it and looking forward to getting going.

"I can't wait to experience men's first-team action and getting as much experience and games under my belt and hopefully score some goals."
