Tyler Fredricson has trained with Manchester United's first-team this week ahead of Thursday's match against Real Sociedad.
Fredricson plays at centre-back and he played a key role in United's memorable FA Youth Cup success last season, although he was unfortunate to miss the final through illness. The 17-year-old had played every game in that FA Youth Cup campaign up to that point and he has been promoted to the Under-21 side this term.
The 17-year-old had to get over the disappointment of missing out with Louis Jackson stepping in alongside Rhys Bennett as his replacement for the final as United beat Nottingham Forest 3-1 to lift the trophy. The defender was the first signing announced at Old Trafford following the appointment of Erik ten Hag as manager, with the youngster penning his first professional contract in May.
