Manchester United

Hugill signed with Premier League side Manchester United on 1 July 2020, with the Manchester club reportedly having fought off competition from Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur, among others, for his signature. [3] [6] [7] His career in Manchester started brightly, with his most notable performance coming against Liverpool U23, where he scored four goals in a 6–3 win.

Hugill was called up to train with the Manchester United first team for 2021–22 pre-season preparation. [11] He featured in friendly games against Derby County and Queens Park Rangers. [12]

He signed a new contract in July 2021. [5]

On 1 February 2023, Hugill was one of three Manchester United youngsters to join National League club Altrincham on loan for the remainder of the season. [13] This marked the start of a new scheme that would see the youngsters continue to train and play for Manchester United's academy teams, while also earning senior experience playing for their loan club. [14]

On 12 January 2024, he joined League One club Burton Albion on loan until the end of the season. [15] He made his debut three days later, scoring his side's equaliser within minutes of his introduction from the bench in an eventual 3–2 defeat to Derby County. [16]

International career

Hugill was called up to the England national under-18 football team in 2020. [3]
