United midfielder Wellens joins Oldham on loan

It will be a first temporary move for the 19-year-old, who has come through the Reds’ ranks and is currently part of the club’s Under-21s side.

He will now continue his progress in a new environment over the coming months, while being closely monitored and supported by United staff.

Having primarily played as a midfielder in the Reds’ youth teams, Charlie impressed while moving to a full-back position during the 2020/21 campaign and has since featured regularly in that role.

The teenager has played in three of our Under-21s’ four Premier League 2 games so far this term and scored a commendable free-kick in the campaign opener away to Arsenal, last month.
