Crystal Palace shared a picture of Will Hughes in action ahead of the trip to Manchester United this weekend.
And a number of Palace fans have been giving their thoughts to the official club post regarding the £60,000-a-week midfielder
Hughes was brought in over the summer from Watford in a deal worth £6m, however, he’s had to remain extremely patient for a chance under Patrick Vieira.
The 26-year-old has been on the bench for eight Premier League games but finally made his Eagles debut against Leeds United in the week.
The central midfielder replaced Jeffrey Schlupp for the final 10 minutes at Elland Road as Palace conceded in stoppage time to suffer back-to-back defeats under Vieira for the first time.
Palace fans react
Palace posted a picture of Hughes in action on Twitter on Thursday evening, with some fans wanting to see the midfielder feature at Old Trafford this weekend. Here are what some fans had to say in reply…
“Santa came just in time for Christmas”
“For £5mil hopefully bargain if the season”
“Hughes was a big positive for us in that last match. Hopefully starts Sunday”
“Looked promising & a great option with Macca out. Ran hard, worked hard & made a difference. In short time on pitch put in best corner that have seen in ages.”
“Needs more game time I think. Could be a key part of the team while McArthur's out”
“Beautiful man”
