Manchester United have confirmed that Nick Powell has returned to Old Trafford following his loan spell at Leicester City.
Powell, 20, joined the Foxes on a season-long deal in the summer, but played just three times in the Premier League for Nigel Pearson's side -- most recently against Manchester City in December.

The England under-21 international joined United from Crewe in 2012, and spent last season on loan at Championship side Wigan.
The midfielder played for United in their 4-0 Capital One Cup defeat to MK Dons on Aug. 26 before making the switch to the King Power Stadium on Sep. 2.
However, the Daily Telegraph reported in late December that Powell's "attitude in training and general timekeeping" led to Pearson deciding to terminate the loan deal prematurely.
