Erik ten Hag invited three Manchester United wonderkids to first-team training ahead their Europa League clash with Real Sociedad on Thursday.
The Red Devils welcome the Spanish side to Old Trafford to begin their Group E campaign, with Ten Hag aiming to make it five successive victories off the back of Sunday's emphatic 3-1 win against Arsenal. But the United manager also looks to be using the competition to observe some of the club's rising stars and give them an opportunity to shine.
Three lucky youngsters from the Red Devils' famous academy trained with the senior squad on Wednesday, namely defender Tyler Fredricson, midfielder Kobbie Mainoo and striker Charlie McNeil. While Fredricson and Mainoo, both 17, each impressed during the under-21's impressive 2-1 victory over Carlisle in the EFL Trophy last Tuesday, McNeil is a much more familiar name to United fans.
