Taylor in United squad for Astana trip

The 19-year-old central defender recently resumed playing after receiving cancer treatment and he made his comeback at Under-23 level in the win over Swansea City last month. He also came off the bench for Neil Wood’s team in the 3-0 victory over Sunderland at Old Trafford last Friday.

United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is taking a youthful squad for the trip to Nur-Sultan, with his team already safely qualified for the knockout stages and Taylor is understandably thrilled to have received the call.

“Obviously, Ole has given quite a few of us the opportunity to travel with the team and, hopefully, a few of us will get a game,”

he told us.
