Manchester United confirmed training squad ahead of Bournemouth fixture as six academy stars involved

Manchester United returned to training on Wednesday morning ahead of their trip to face Bournemouth in the Premier League this weekend. Ruben Amorim gave his players two days off following the home defeat to Wolves on Sunday afternoon as he looks to manage fitness levels ahead of a crucial few weeks in their season.

United will record their lowest-ever Premier League finish this season but could yet salvage their campaign if they qualify for the Champions League by winning the Europa League. Amorim will have to carefully manage his squad ahead of their massive Europa League semi-final tie against Athletic Club and could give youngsters a chance to prove themselves in the senior set-up.

Harry Amass and Tyler Fredricson both impressed in the 1-0 defeat to Wolves and the young duo took part in the latest training session on Wednesday morning. They were not the only academy players involved at Carrington though.

Manchester United confirmed training squad (not final list)

Manchester United trained at Carrington on Wednesday morning, as Ruben Amorim gave six academy youngsters an opportunity to make a first-team case. Harry Amass and Tyler Fredricson are both likely to be involved when United face Bournemouth on Sunday, while Chido Obi has been told to expect more opportunities in the Premier League.

Jaydan Kamason and Zac Baumann also took part in the latest training session, while Dan Gore also featured as he continues his comeback from injury. The young midfielder joined Rotherham on loan in the January transfer window but suffered an injury setback shortly after his first appearance for the club.

The 20-year-old is now fit enough to train again, but it is unclear whether he will return to the League One club for the final two matches of the campaign.

Goalkeepers: Onana, Harrison, Heaton, Mee

Defenders: Mazraoui, Kamason, Lindelöf, Maguire, Fredricson, Evans, Yoro, Amass, Dorgu, Shaw

Midfielders: Mount, Gore, Fernandes, Baumann, Mainoo, Ugarte, Eriksen, Casemiro
