Journalist: Three Man Utd youngsters vying for first-team spot next season – Amorim’s favourite snubbed Manchester United will reportedly add an academy product to their midfield department this season, with three youngsters emerging as candidates. Michael Carrick has been operating with limited options in the middle of the park. He only has three out-and-out midfielders in Kobbie Mainoo, Casemiro, and Manuel Ugarte, while Bruno Fernandes and Mason Mount are his options for the attacking-midfielder spot.

The shortlist includes Elliot Anderson, Sandro Tonali, Aurelien Tchouameni, Carlos Baleba, and Ederson. But when it comes to internal promotion, Marshall believes the casting can be limited to three viable candidates: Jim Thwaites, Tyler Fletcher, and Jack Moorhouse. Interestingly, the other Fletcher twin, Jack, hasn’t been mentioned, despite being the first to make his senior debut out of the bunch.
Jack Fletcher made his three successive Premier League appearances this season against Aston Villa, Newcastle, and Wolves, all coming in December. However, the 19-year-old gradually faded from the scene following Ruben Amorim’s dismissal and his father’s (Darren Fletcher) two-game stewardship. Why Tyler Fletcher could be the favourite for Man Utd promotion While his twin brother, Jack, has been exclusively featuring for Man Utd U21 since Michael Carrick’s arrival, Tyler Fletcher earned his debut in February against Spurs.
