As we’re down to the bare bones, both in terms of squad numbers and injuries, it represents a great chance for our young players to emerge and take their opportunity.
But who will it be, and what contribution are they likely to make?
It’s up to you, but personally I’m not going to include our new younger signings in this list as they were already established at their clubs, we’ve paid sizeable fees for them so I’m hoping they will make an impact anyway!
I’m more talking about players who are in the early stages of their pro careers who are yet to make a breakthrough with United. Given our gaps at the moment, it seems more likely that our young midfielders or forwards will get their chance first to impress.
Some contenders:
My tip is Frankie Maguire. Talented lad who was showing promising signs until suffering an injury setback which halted his progress. Looks to have trickery and guile, plus a much-needed eye for goal as an attacking midfielder which is something we currently lack.
He’s excelled at national league north level, obviously the Premier League is going to be a massive step up. But if Maguire gets minutes between now and the transfer window closing, he might just surprise a few and grab his chance.
Would be interested in everyone else’s picks.

Some contenders:
- Harrison Neal
- Andre Brooks
- Frankie Maguire
- Antwoine Hackford
- Daniel Jebbison (if he stays and when he’s fit!)
- Will Osula
- Sydie Peck (currently injured?)
- Louie Marsh (post updated, I’d missed him off!)
- Sai Sachdev
- Miguel Freckleton
