This weekend might well spell the end of any slim hopes Manchester United have of Champions League qualification, but as a result, more youngsters could be given the chance to showcase their talents at senior level in the weeks ahead. There are certainly plenty of them knocking on the door.
Hannibal Mejbri, who impressed in his midweek cameo against Liverpool, found himself back in the U23s for the visit of Arsenal in the Premier League 2 on Friday night, while fellow teenager Alejandro Garnacho missed out because he had travelled to London as part of the first-team squad ahead of their match against Arsenal this weekend.
Garnacho, 17, is yet to make his senior debut for United but could well do so before the end of the season after catching the eye of interim manager Ralf Rangnick.
