Wigan Athletic have completed the signing of Nick Powell on a free transfer from Manchester United.
The 22-year-old was signed by Sir Alex Ferguson in a £6 million deal from Crewe in 2012 but made only nine senior appearances during his time at Old Trafford.
Powell spent time on loan at at Wigan, Leicester City and Hull City and the midfielder has now opted to join the newly promoted Championship club on a three-year contract.
“Nick is a quality player,” said Wigan boss Gary Caldwell.
“He’s the one player we wanted to get this summer and we are so happy we’ve got him. When I played with him, he was the best 19-year-old I’d ever played with.
“He’s had a frustrating couple of years with injuries and not managing to settle anywhere, but we absolutely believe in him because he’s a special player with the talent to get a stadium to its feet.
“He is still very young and has got so much more to give the game. We are delighted he can continue his progress with us.”r />Recommended article from FiveFilters.org: Most Labour MPs in the UK Are Revolting.
