Ralf Rangnick included four academy prospects as the Manchester United first team trained on Tuesday ahead of their vital Premier League encounter with Chelsea.
The Red Devils are in dire need of a response after three defeats in their last four games as they welcome the Blues to Old Trafford on Thursday night. The latest of these losses came against Arsenal on Saturday and all but ended United's hopes of achieving a top-four finish and Champions League qualification.
Nonetheless, there are four games remaining for players to stake their claim to be a part of the imminent rebuild under incoming manager Erik ten Hag. The Dutchman has a fine record of working with emerging talents at Ajax, so United's youngsters will be out to impress when they are granted the minutes to do so.
