Early life

Born in Durham, England, Hugill started his career with Newcastle United, where he spent a year, before joining rivals Sunderland.[3][4][5]

Club career

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.[8][4][9] In doing so, he became only the second player in Manchester United history to score four in one game against Liverpool, after Steve Jones in a reserve game in 1977.[10]

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 players, while also earning senior experience playing for their loan club.[14]

International career

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