Finley McAllister, has recently been called up to train with the senior squad ahead of United’s Premier League clash against Brentford.
At just 18 years old, McAllister’s inclusion in first-team training is a testament to the club’s belief in his potential.
A lifelong United fan, McAllister captained the Under-18s to a treble-winning season last year and has since stepped up to the Under-21s.
Now, the Salford-born midfielder is edging closer to the first team, and his presence in senior training is the latest indication of his rapid development.
McAllister isn’t the only academy star receiving this opportunity.
Erik ten Hag has brought several other youth players into training, including Tyler Fredricson, Malachi Sharpe, Ashton Missin, Sam Mather, and Ruben Curley.
This has been caused by Manchester United slipping into another injury crisis.
While it’s unlikely any of them will feature against Brentford, the experience of training alongside established first-team players will be invaluable for their growth.
For McAllister, this is a crucial learning opportunity that could accelerate his path to the senior team, as he continues to impress with his versatility and leadership both at club and international youth levels.
