Wigan Athletic boss Roberto Martinez has confirmed that Callum McManaman has a "big" role to play for the club this season.
It had been reported that the 21-year-old would be sent on loan in search of regular football, but Martinez has quelled suggestions of a move.
"I expect Callum to play a big part with us this season," Martinez told the Daily Mail.
McManaman has scored three goals in 14 games for the Latics.
