Manchester United have promoted two of their academy youngsters to the first-team squad ahead of the new season.
Over the weekend, United were in action as they took on rivals Manchester City in the FA Community Sheild final at Wembley.
Despite leading into the closing stages, Bernardo Silva equalised for City and Pep Guardiola’s men ended up winning on penalties.
With their Premier League campaign starting on Friday night against Fulham, United have promoted two of their youngsters to the first-team.
Full-back Harry Amass and forward Ethan Wheatley have both been listed as a first-team player on the club’s official website.
With the summer transfer window edging closer to the end, United are set to add at least two more new players.
The Red Devils have already signed striker Joshua Zirkzee from Bologna and defender Leny Yoro from Lille but are said to be closing in on a deal to bring in Bayern Munich duo Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazaroui.
Transfer specialist Fabrizio Romano wrote on social media: “Manchester United have planned for Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui to undergo main part of medical tests at the club already today.
“Monday had to be and will be the day: landing, going to Carrington, medical tests and five-year contracts already prepared.”
