The Australian midfielder moved to The Blues from Melbourne City at the end of June but was widely expected to leave the club on a temporary deal rather than stay under the tutelage of Pep Guardiola.
Mooy had a very productive season for Melbourne during 2015-16, setting up 21 goals (an A-League record) and scoring a further 11 as they finished fourth in the league. He moved to Manchester on a three-year deal at the end of June, with Luke Brattan and Anthony Caceres completing loan moves the other way
The 25-year-old has been praised for his passing ability, which could be a valuable asset for Huddersfield and David Wagner as they look to improve on a 19th place finish in the second tier last year, although they were 11 points clear of the relegation places.
Mooy is the first major departure of the summer for City, barring those released at the end of their contracts (including Martin Demichelis and Richard Wright), but could soon be followed by Aleksandar Kolarov, who is being strongly linked with a move to Besiktas.
