Man United promote 18-year-old centre back to first-team squad amid their injury ravaged season... as Erik ten Hag's side could look to 'gifted' star ahead of Bournemouth clash

Man United's treatment room has been one of the busiest in the Premier League this season but their injury woes seem to have remarkably continued this week, with Raphael Varane and Jonny Evans being added to their list of absentees.

It's been an injury ravaged season for Erik ten Hag's side, and in the midst of a lack of defenders, the Dutchman has reportedly called an 18-year-old centre back up to train with the first-team squad ahead of their clash against Bournemouth.

On Thursday, the club announced that Varane and Evans would be unavailable for this weekend's fixture having both suffered muscle injuries.
