Winger Sean Evans will be desperate for a run of games as he enters the second half of his first full professional season with Premiership giants Manchester United.
The Ludlow youngster has seen his chances limited by injury, a hernia at the start of last year being followed by an untimely hamstring tear in the autumn.
It meant that the 19-year-old only had a few reserve team opportunities in which to press his claims for an extension to his one-year contract that ends this June.
He played and scored for a United XI that featured in a game to mark Northwich Victoria’s new ground in mid-November, while he came on as a substitute for the reserves for 15 minutes against Manchester City last month.
Now back to full fitness, he needs games under his belt to secure a future at Old Trafford.
“He needs to show what he can do, and to do that he needs to be playing,” said his father Mark, president of Ludlow Town FC.
“Fingers crossed hopefully he can now play a few games as time is running out.
“The problem at United is that they have a big squad, they have so many players and you’ve got to stand out.
“But hopefully they will take into account the injuries he’s had.”
