Manchester United 'Aware' Of James Wilson Progress At Brighton

Manchester United know how well striker James Wilson is performing during his loan spell at Brighton, according to Albion boss Chris Hughton.

Wilson, 20, has scored two goals in four appearances since joining the Championship side in November.

"We keep them informed of his game, his physical stats and his video clips," Hughton told BBC Sussex.

"That is all sent through to Manchester United. They are aware of what he has done on a daily basis."

Wilson made his first-team debut for the Premier League club in May 2014 but has only featured twice for the Red Devils this season.

The England Under-21 international is set to be with Brighton until the end of the season but United boss Louis van Gaal has the option of recalling him to Old Trafford.

"We know there is a recall but he is here for a reason; to play games and get experience," Hughton added.

"We can only take it at that value. We are very grateful to Manchester United for their interest in him coming here in the first place."
