Wigan Athletic manager Malky Mackay has confirmed that Hull City are interested in signing in-demand winger Callum McManaman, reports ClubCall.

Four Premier League clubs are chasing the 23-year-old. West Bromwich Albion have made two bids for him this week, both of which have been swiftly rejected by the Lactics.

In his press conference, Mackay said: "There's been no formal bid but there's been an enquiry. There's been an enquiry from a few clubs but I have great respect for Steve Bruce so I don't want to say any more than that."

And on the bids from West Brom, he said: "The second bid has been rejected, that's where we are with that."

Wigan want to keep McManaman in order to help them make a great escape from relegation this season.

McManaman is a product of the Everton youth academy. He moved to Wigan in 2006 as a youngster and made his first team debut in May 2009 and joined Blackpool on loan in the 2011/2012 season and has made 72 appearances in total for Wigan, scoring ten.

Another player in demand at Wigan is another Scottish winger. Shaun Maloney's transfer to Leicester City broke down in the end after a £1 million offer was accepted. He couldn't agree personal terms with the Championship champions and now looks set for a move to MLS club Chicago Fire.

It's been a dreadful season for Wigan Atheltic fans. They looked ready to mount a promotion campaign at the beginning of the season and after a poor start they sacked manager Uwe Rosler.

Former Cardiff manager Malky Mackay has been brought in to save Wigan, who are in 23rd place on 21 points, five points away from safety in the Sky Bet Championship.
