Alejandro Garnacho

Arguably the most exciting of Manchester United talents, Garnacho made his debut for the first team last season, playing 12 minutes across two substitute appearances against Chelsea and Crystal Palace as a 17 year old.
Still only 18, Garnacho is a tricky left winger who looks set to make an impression on the first team in 2022-23.
Born in Spain, the teenager is currently representing Argentina at under-21 level, scoring four goals in four appearances.
In United’s run to the FA Youth Cup glory last season, Garnaco contributed five goals and three assists in five matches - including two goals in the final against Nottingham Forest.
James Garner

Aged 21, Garner is perhaps the most credentialled United talent to make an impression on the first team this season.
The central midfielder is fresh from two seasons on loan at Nottingham Forest - helping the historic club back into the Premier League for the current campaign.
Garner was an indispensable part of Forest’s midfield, making 41 appearances, scoring four goals and creating eight assists.
With Paul Pogba’s departure from Man Utd, it looks as if Garner will be given an opportunity to step up into the senior squad.
Hannibal Mejbri

Hannibal was another to get a taste of first team action for Manchester United last season with the club out of contention for honours in the latter stages of the campaign.
The Tunisian international played 62 minutes on the final day against Palace and didn’t look overawed despite his 19-year-old frame.
It also appeared that the attacking midfielder had bulked up prior to this appearances last season - in preparation for playing more senior football.
Hannibal will be looking to impress in pre-season and catch the eye of the new manager.
Charlie Savage

Savage, son of pundit and former Premier League star Robbie, made his debut for the Red Devils as a substitute in the Champions League match against Young Boys in December last season.
Comfortable in both defending and attacking, Savage is more of a technical player than his father, who was a tenacious battler in the engine room.
The 19-year-old will be given an opportunity on Man Utd’s pre season tour to stake a claim for a development loan to another club or even a spot in the first team picture.
Zidane Iqbal

The 19-year-old Iraq international made his debut off the bench alongside Charlie Savage in the Champions League match against Young Boys in December last campaign.
He was the first British-born South Asian to play for Man Utd - and the first British South Asian to play in the Champions League.
Iqbal is a midfielder who has figured prominently in pre-season training and his selection for Man Utd’s overseas tour means Ten Hag is keen to check him out.
