Manchester United’s young players have been urged to impress Erik ten Hag in next week’s FA Youth Cup final.
United’s Under-18s will be aiming to lift the cup for the first time since 2011 as they take on Nottingham Forest next week. In the process, they be aiming to follow in the footsteps of the likes of Paul Pogba and Jesse Lingard in then making the next step up to the senior team.
With a summer of big changes in the offing for United as Ten Hag arrives as the club’s new manager, next week’s final at Old Trafford will present the club’s youngsters with the opportunity to stake their claim to the new boss. The likes of Alejandro Garnacho, Kobbie Mainoo and Charlie McNeill have already made compelling cases during United’s run to the final, and could further their cases for the future.
