Manchester United promote 5 youngsters to first team training before the clash against Wolves
A Manchester Evening News report mentions that 5 young men trained with Manchester United’s first team in Carrington on Sunday before their game against Wolves.
Ethan Laird, Anthony Elanga, Facundo Pellistri, Shola Shoretire and Will Fish trained with the senior team. The decision to summon the youngsters to the first team practice session is not so surprising.

The 5 youngsters are a very prominent part of United’s Under-23 team that play in the Premier League 2. Facundo Pellistri, signed by the club in the summer, has been very impressive this season with the Under-23s.
Joining the 18-year-old Uruguayan winger were Swedish forward Anthony Elanga, 19-year-old defender Laird, 16-year-old prodigy Shoretire and 17-year-old center-back Fish were the other three young men.
Timely turnover
Solskjaer is also expected to turn sideways after the 2-2 draw against Leicester City. That game featured Victor Lindelof as an auxiliary right back in place of Aaron Wan-Bissaka. (h / t Manchester Evening News)
Lindelof was forced to retire with injury in the 66th minute, but Wan-Bissaka returned to training on Sunday. This news also comes after the Wolves have had 32 hours less than United to prepare for Tuesday night’s game.
Youngsters can go on to play an important role as cover for the first team squad. The list of games ahead is relentless as United play in the league, the Carabao Cup and the FA Cup before January 10.
