Aggressive out of possession, Susoho plays off either foot from the No 6 position and calmly ticks games over. Eligible to play for England.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/26\/13\/75848247-12561841-image-m-75_1695732732588.jpg\" height=\"604\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>City starlet Mahamadou Susoh (right)\u00a0plays in the No 6 position and calmly ticks games over<\/p>\n<h2><span>Habeeb Ogunneye, 17 (Manchester United)<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Capped by England at Under 17 level, Ogunneye is a speedy right back who is proficient at marauding forward and his style has been likened to Tariq Lamptey. United are light in that area of the pitch and Erik ten Hag is expected to ask the youngster up to train this season.<\/p>\n<h2><span>Max Alleyne, 18 (Manchester City)<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Previously at Southampton, Alleyne has only been at the club for two years but is regularly asked to take part in senior sessions. The centre half has been capped at England Under 18s level. Comfortable in possession and a smart reader of the game.<\/p>\n<h2><span>Maxi Oyedele, 18 (Manchester United)<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>An old-fashioned box-to-box midfielder who spent his early years with Burnley. The Poland Under 21s international already has experience of men\u2019s football after a loan spell at Altrincham last term, scoring four in 12 appearances.<\/p>\n<h2><span>Ethan Williams, 17 (Manchester United)<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Although still only 17, Williams is up with the Under 21s this year and was given the shout to train with the first team ahead of the Champions League tie at Bayern Munich. Ex-Rochdale, Williams can play either side as a wing back but prefers starting further forward.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/26\/14\/75848581-12561841-image-a-86_1695733575624.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The versatile defender Ethan Williams\u00a0could help solve United&#8217;s injury issues at wing-back<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/26\/13\/75848281-12561841-image-a-76_1695732815862.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Williams (centre right) trained with the first team ahead of the Champions League tie at Bayern<\/p>\n<h2><span>Tomas Galvez, 18 (Manchester City)<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The left back already has a senior international cap with Finland \u2013 but can still represent Spain or England given his debut was in a friendly.

Is back with a bang this season though, scoring a brace during the recent UEFA Youth League win over Red Star Belgrade from the left wing. Capable of playing off either flank.<\/p>\n<h2><span>Dan Gore, 18 (Manchester United)<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Local lad who recently penned a new contract and found himself on Ten Hag\u2019s bench for recent fixtures \u2013 including the Champions League defeat at Bayern Munich.

Lacey bagged a brace in a 4-1 win over Spain.<\/p>\n<h2><span>Joel Ndala, 19 (Manchester City)<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Netted 13 goals from wide areas as City\u2019s Under 18s won the league last year and possesses similar dribbling characteristics to new signing Jeremy Doku.

Still just 17, he has now moved up to the Elite Development Squad. Direct when operating from wide right and has been used more centrally in the UEFA Youth League. Has been at City since he was eight years old.<\/p>\n<h2><span>Omari Forson, 19 (Manchester United)<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Forson has been talked about since he was much younger when at West Ham United and has flourished since joining United from Tottenham four years ago. With a devilish left foot and light on his feet, Forson causes plenty of problems from wide areas.<\/p>\n<h3>IT&#8217;S ALL KICKING OFF!\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><span><span>It&#8217;s All Kicking Off is an exciting new podcast from Mail Sport that promises a different take on Premier League football.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>It is available on MailOnline, Mail+, YouTube, Apple Music and Spotify.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/pix\/2017\/08\/02\/636x90_facebook_ad_sport.png\" width=\"636\" height=\"90\"><br \/>\nSource: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-12561841\/Man-United-Man-City-12-teenagers-chance-Carabao-Cup.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Man United&#8217;s local lad knocking on Ten Hag&#8217;s door plus a wing back who could solve their injury crisis&#8230;
