Erik ten Hag promotes trio of Man Utd wonderkids to first team for pre-season as boss grows frustrated over transfers
MANCHESTER UNITED boss Erik ten Hag has promoted three youngsters to first-team training for pre-season.
Several players reported to Carrington for the first time after the summer break yesterday.
Ten Hag has been busy working on signings but is growing frustrated over a lack of transfer business with Mason Mount his only arrival so far.
The club are are yet to resolve their goalkeeper and striker situation amid uncertainty with both positions after David De Gea and Wout Weghorst left.
To help boost numbers, young trio Charlie Savage, Maxi Oyedele and Isak Hansen-Aaroen are involved with the senior squad.
Savage, 20, is the son of former Premier League star and pundit Robbie.
He has played once for Man Utd during a Champions League clash with Young Boys in December 2021.
Savage spent last season on loan with Forest Green Rovers.
Oyedele, 18, has made his way up the ranks at United and is expected to play a part in pre-season.
The midfielder spent last term on loan at Altrincham.

He has supposedly been blocked from joining up with Poland’s Under-19s so Ten Hag can monitor him in training.
Hansen-Aaroen hails from Norway and was part of the team that won the FA Youth Cup in 2022.
The 18-year-old played seven times for Tromso’s first-team in his homeland before joining United.
Man Utd agreed to sign him when he was aged just 14 and waited until he turned 16 to bring him over to England.
The likes of Antony and Lisandro Martinez were spotted at Carrington yesterday but are thought to be recovering from injuries.
Fred, Jadon Sancho and Dean Henderson were also in attendance amid rumours all three could leave.
Stars like Marcus Rashford, Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro have been given an extended holiday due to them featuring in last month’s international matches.
