Hitting the Yorkshire team on the counter, the 2022 FA Youth Cup winner hit the bar with a right footed shot from outside the box, to add to his near miss on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>For the second successive game, Hugill was given a score of 7.0 on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sofascore.com\/player\/joe-hugill\/1018321\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sofascore<\/a> for his afternoon&#8217;s work. He had two shots off target, with one being his effort that thundered against the crossbar. The tall forward was also able to complete 100% of his dribble attempts in the game and complete one key pass in the game.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately the 20 year old was unable to use his height so effectively in aerial duels where he was only managed to win three out of his eleven aerial duels.<\/p>\n<p>The United academy player has struggled as of late to make use of his physical strengths, but experience in League One against seasoned professionals should stand him in good stead for his future development.<\/p>\n<p>Probably the most disappointing element of his performance was only passing the ball 12 times and, worryingly, only finding his teammates 25% of the time. However, it must also be remembered that he is playing in a struggling team who rarely have enough of the ball to build meaningful attacks.<\/p>\n<p>The former Sunderland youth product was able to contribute more effectively in a defensive manner as he won 67% of his ground duels and made two clearances. He was also able to help his side out by making one interception and a tackle.<\/p>\n<p>Hugill and Burton now find themselves in a precarious position in 20th, only one place above the drop zone. However, both Port Vale and Cheltenham below them have games in hand that could see them leapfrog his beleaguered side.<\/p>\n<p>He will be hoping he ends his goal drought when The Brewers welcome Oxford United to the Pirelli Stadium this Saturday.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>Want to be the first to hear breaking Man United news?
