Rangnick includes four Man Utd youngsters in squad for Chelsea
Manchester United boss Ralf Rangnick has included four youngsters in his squad for tonight's clash with Chelsea.
Paul Pogba, Jadon Sancho, Luke Shaw, Fred and Harry Maguire are all unavailable for the Old Trafford clash with Maguire's knee injury possibly keeping him out for the rest of the season.
In their absence exciting attacker Alejandro Garnacho is set to be named on the bench, after scoring a brilliant solo goal in the FA Youth Cup in February.
He will be joined by Hannibal Mejbri who impressed with his fight and determination after being brought on at Anfield in last week's defeat to Liverpool.
Full-back Alvaro Fernandez will also make an appearance on the bench for the first time with Aaron Wan-Bissaka also a doubt.
The Spanish left-back joined from Real Madrid in 2020 and has contributed four goals and six assists for the under-23s this season.
Shola Shoretire is also set to return to the first-team for the first time since coming on as a substitute against Young Boys in the Champions League this season.
The 18-year-old has made four appearances in total with three of those coming last year.
He may be unlikely to feature against the Blues however with Rangnick not keen to play youngsters in such a big game.
