Manchester United recall Powell from Leicester City loanManchester United have recalled Nick Powell from his loan spell with Premier League strugglers Leicester City.

The 20-year-old has made only three appearances for Nigel Pearson's bottom-of-the-table team since making a season-long switch to the King Power Stadium in the summer.

With only 40 minutes under his belt for the Foxes, United have opted to take Powell back to Old Trafford.

Leicester said in a statement on their official website: "Leicester City would like to thank Nick for his contribution during the last four months and wish him well in the future."

Powell joined United from Crewe Alexandra in June 2012 and was loaned out to Wigan last season.

The England Under-21s international has made only two Premier League appearances for United as a substitute in the 2012-13 campaign.
