Manchester United’s commitment to youth development has been clear throughout the season, with multiple young talents earning first-team opportunities.
The likes of Ayden Heaven, Chido Obi-Martin, Harry Amass, and Kobbie Mainoo have all been given minutes at senior level.
Meanwhile, Alejandro Garnacho, Toby Collyer, and Leny Yoro have also made an impression despite being just 21 or younger.
With injuries continuing to plague the first-team squad, another rising star is now being tipped as a potential inclusion.
United’s defensive options remain stretched, with Heaven, Yoro, Harry Maguire, and Jonny Evans all currently sidelined.
That has left Matthijs de Ligt and Victor Lindelof carrying the burden, with the club also juggling their Europa League campaign.
If further setbacks arise, one highly-rated academy talent could find himself in contention for a surprise first-team call-up.
Jayden Ngwashi next in line for breakthrough after Ayden Heaven blow
That player is Jayden Ngwashi, who is impressing senior figures at Carrington and international level.
The 16-year-old has already represented both England and Italy in youth football.
Having been fast-tracked through the age groups, he recently made his under-21 debut at just 16 years of age.
According to reports from the Daily Mail, the defender is regarded as ‘one to watch’ after an impressive rise through the ranks.
He was handed his first Premier League 2 appearance earlier this season, just weeks after debuting for the under-18 side.
Youth team head coach Travis Binnion rewarded him with a ten-minute cameo in a 5-1 win over West Bromwich Albion.
United’s backroom staff are understood to hold ‘huge hopes’ for his future, with his rapid development catching the attention of key figures.
With Ruben Amorim’s squad stretched thin, there remains a possibility that he could be handed first-team minutes before the season concludes.
