The Manchester United players were back at Carrington less than twenty-four hours following the victory over Everton. Nevertheless, none of the 11 starters from the training session in the rain were visible on the turf.

Instead, eleven academy players were substituted in to make up the numbers. They were also getting ready for their own UEFA Youth League match this week against Galatasaray. The players who were highlighted were:

Sofyan Amrabat

Raphael Varane

Aaron Wan-Bissaka

Sergio Reguilon

Donny van de Beek

Hannibal Mejbri

Altay Bayindir

Facundo Pellistri

Isak Hansen-Aaroen among youngsters training

Joe Hugill, who started on the bench for Manchester United against Everton, is one of the 11 young players; he has not yet played a competitive minute for the first team.

In 2022, Dan Gore and Isak Hansen-Aaroen were members of the winning midfield team for the FA Youth Cup, together with Kobbie Mainoo.

If they choose a different route, Gore and Hansen-Aaroen both have a potential to succeed at Manchester United.

Many well-known players were present, including Victor Musa, a potential 17-year-old striker who scored three goals in an under-18s victory over Blackburn earlier this month.
