Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick is set to hand the club’s youngster a chance in the first team following a series of injuries to a chunk of his first-team players.
The Red Devils have just 14 players fit for Thursday night’s clash with Chelsea and according to the German, the young players will be more involved between now and the end of the season.
“Well, it’s possible. We have quite a few players missing tomorrow and one or two still with question marks so we will have to wait and see until tomorrow to see if, for example, Aaron Wan-Bissaka can play.
Players Erik Ten Hag feels worth persevering with:
• Bruno Fernandes
• Raphael Varane
• Marcus Rashford
• Scott Mctominay
• Jadon Sancho
• Youngsters emerging from the academy – Hannibal Mejbri, Alejandro Garnacho and James Garner.[@JamieJackson___] pic.twitter.com/N2xxzo0bjc

“I already played Hannibal at Liverpool so it’s possible (I’ll play youngsters) but we also have to be fair enough to those players. It has to be the right moment, they should have a chance to play well and perform well so it’s not just pushing them into a game. I think it should also be the right moment,” Rangnick said.
After the Chelsea game, United will round off the season with matches against Brentford, Brighton, and Crystal Palace.
