Which Academy players have joined the senior squad?

New signing Amad has been in the senior bubble since joining, but two other promising members of the Under-23s side, Hannibal and Shola Shoretire, have also impressed in recent weeks.

With United into the quarter-finals of the Emirates FA Cup and ahead of our Europa League campaign resuming in Turin next week (Thursday 18 February) against Real Sociedad, the boss is conscious that he’ll need a deep squad to choose from.

Asked whether Amad, Hannibal and Shoretire would be staying with the senior squad for the rest of the season, Solskjaer commented:

“The young kids? Yeah, we’ve moved Shola up with us, Hannibal will probably join us, and we’ll keep them with us for a while.
