Looks like it. Hasn't been in recent United youth squads.

 

Ollie Harrison in for Nyoni, who's gone up to the 19s.

 

Harry Amass being linked with a move to Aston Villa. https://www.manchestereveningnews.c...-news/aston-villa-monitor-man-united-30367840

 

I'm surprised Amass has not been selected for this U18 squad. He played in an EFL Trophy fixture on Tuesday against Huddersfield so isn't injured.

 

If this is true it must mean they're re-signing that Spanish left-back they sold to Benfica not long ago. They've been linked with him recently.

I don't really think Villa is a great destination though with how much they've just splashed on Maatsen. Amass is such a good prospect I think United could really regret letting him go.

 

Ratcliffe went on about having more Homegrown players but come nest season thy might not have any English players at all in their squad.

 

3-1 loss to Poland, Broggio with our goal.

Ben Broggio on the bench for Villa today. Is this the first Premier League game he’s been on the bench for Villa?

 

Of Italian descent but doesn't qualify for Italy according to his Wiki.

 

Sol Sidibe starting for Stoke. Currently 1-0 up away at QPR.
