Three Towns football star Liam Morrison has earned rave reviews for his most recent outing with Wigan Athletic.
The English League One side faced off against Premier League giants Manchester United in the third round of the FA Cup on Monday, January 8.
While the Latics succumbed to a 2-0 defeat on the night, thanks to goals from Diogo Dalot and Bruno Fernandes, the performance of Saltcoats boy Morrison certainly turned some heads.
The 20-year-old started at centre back for Shaun Maloney's side, making his 20th appearance on loan from Bayern Munich's reserve side.
