Erik ten Hag has not yet finalised numbers who will travel on Manchester United's pre-season tour despite the squad leaving for Asia on Friday.
But club insiders have reported that the new boss wants to give as many players as possible a shot at getting themselves into the first team picture prior to the season. The new United boss has given first teamers, loanees, academy prospects and U18 talents a chance to shine at Carrington this week and whatever previous manager’s thought of them everyone has started with a clean slate.
He will learn more when they face Liverpool, Melbourne Victory, Crystal Palace, Aston Villa and Atletico Madrid in their pre season. But of all those putting in hard yards the following five are understood by Mirror Sport to be given the chance to lay down a first-team marker in Bangkok and Australia.
