17-year-old joins seniors at Carrington

Manchester United gave 17-year-old Daniel Armer a first-team training run at Carrington on Wednesday as the squad prepared for Sunderland. He skipped the U21s’ clash with Lincoln to take his big step up.

Last week, 16-year-old Jayden Ngwashi also trained with the seniors. With teenagers lining up beside internationals, United’s defence looked so young it probably needed a school bell instead of a whistle. Amad and Tyrell Malacia also returned to full training.
