Manchester United consider Wigan's bid to loan youngster Nick Powell next season



Wigan have opened talks with Manchester United over the extended loan of Nick Powell and the possibility of taking him again for next season.

Manager Uwe Rosler was at United's Carrington training complex on Wednesday for discussions. He wants Powell to stay at Wigan and is willing to buy him if United wish to sell.

Swansea and Norwich have also shown interest but United's previous manager David Moyes rebuffed bids as he wanted Powell to develop on loan.

Wigan, meanwhile, have been fined £40,000 for breaching the FA's Football Agents Regulations regarding the signing of Marc-Antoine Fortune.

The charge related to agency activity carried out by Willie McKay for the Championship club in relation to the capture of the striker in July 2013.

Wigan, who secured a place in the Championship play-offs with a 1-0 win at Birmingham on Tuesday, said they were 'awaiting the full findings of the Independent Regulatory Commission to enable us to review our position in respect of the decision'.
