Manchester United travelled to London on Tuesday night for this week’s Carabao Cup tie against Chelsea without teenage forward Mason Greenwood, who has instead been in action for the club’s Under-21 team in the EFL Trophy.
With United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer set to name a handful of youngsters in the XI that starts at Stamford Bridge, Greenwood might have been expected to be involved.
Fellow teenagers James Garner and Brandon Williams are both tipped to start against Chelsea and made the trip down to London with the senior squad, but Greenwood was left out of the travelling group so that he could face Doncaster Rovers.
