Four wonderkids in Man United squad against Chelsea as Ralf Rangnick experiments amid injuries

Four teenagers are in Manchester United's squad to face Chelsea at Old Trafford this evening amid the Red Devil's wave of injuries. Harry Maguire, Jadon Sancho, Fred, Paul Pogba, Edinson Cavani and Luke Shaw are all set to be sidelined, handing the Blues a major boost.

With so many injuries, Ralf Rangnick has had to call upon several of the club's exciting prospects to make up the numbers. Alvaro Fernandez, Shola Shoretire, Hannibal Mejbri and Alejandro Garnacho, who has been named on the bench in recent weeks, have been added to the squad for the visit of Chelsea.

The west Londoners haven't won at Old Trafford in nine years, and Thomas Tuchel will be keen to set the record straight. While for many, the induction of Carrington's youngsters may bolster Chelsea's efforts in extinguishing the running feat. However, their inclusion poses a unique threat to the Blues, who come into the tie having won four of their last five games across all competitions.
