Two more academy stars join Man United travelling squad vs Spurs, including the son of a United legend – report | OneFootball

Manchester United have embarked on a trip to London to face off against Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.

The Red Devils are grappling with a wave of injury setbacks, as several key players have been sidelined.

Amad Diallo’s ankle ligament injury, sustained during training this week, has cast a shadow over the squad, with fears he could miss the rest of the 2024/25 season.

Kobbie Mainoo will also be out for several weeks, while Manuel Ugarte and Toby Collyer are both unavailable for today’s crucial encounter.

Reports surfaced yesterday that several exciting United academy starlets have made the trip with the squad to help fill the gaps left by injuries.

Names like Jack Moorhouse, Chido Obi-Martin, Sekou Kone, and Elyh Harrison were rumored to be among those joining the senior squad.

Journalist Mike McGrath has revealed that James Scanlon and Jack Fletcher have also been added to the United travelling party.

Kone dropped an exciting hint on Instagram, suggesting he is part of the 20-man matchday squad.

Both Scanlon and Fletcher have been turning heads this season with their outstanding performances for the youth teams.

United’s under-18s thrashed Chelsea’s under-18s 5-1 in the recent FA Youth Cup clash.

While Chido Obi rightfully grabbed the headlines with a brilliant hat-trick, James Scanlon was the unsung hero, contributing two crucial goals to the resounding victory.

The 18-year-old is primarily a winger but has proven his versatility and could feature as one of the number 10s.

Jack Fletcher, a Manchester-born midfielder, carries the legacy of his father, United legend Darren Fletcher, as he continues to make his mark at the club.

The 17-year-old has made a real name for himself at the club after arriving from Manchester City in 2023.

Surprisingly, Harry Amass is notably absent from the list revealed by Mike McGrath.

The left-back, who impressed during pre-season, is still awaiting his senior debut.

His reported exclusion may be linked to the availability of Diogo Dalot and Patrick Dorgu, both of whom are capable of filling in at left wing-back.
