Man United youngster Charlie Wellens revels in joy after maiden senior goal

Manchester United youngster Charlie Wellens has described the "special" feeling after bagging his first senior goal.

The 19-year-old was dispatched to National League side Oldham Athletic on a loan arrangement in a bid to accelerate his progress. Last weekend, in only his third outing for the Latics, he scored an 89th-minute winner on an emotional day at Boundary Park.

The 3-2 win over Eastleigh was John Sheridan's final game in the dugout after it was announced he would be stepping down following the game. Wellens, son of former United academy product and current Leyton Orient boss Richie, admits the occasion was a special one.
