Manchester United's Charlie Wellens has officially joined Oldham Athletic on loan.
Wellens, 19, has signed for Oldham on a four-month loan deal, which will see him play at the club until 8 January 2023.
The Salford-born academy product began his career in central midfield, but he played the majority of his games for the Reds' academy at right-back last season. Wellens is a versatile talent who is contracted at Old Trafford until next summer.
