“The two of them are world class players. I was surprise with their performance. They performed even better than my first team players. After the Pre-Season, we choose two academy player to be part of us this season. Just like Garnacho and Mainoo, I think they are ready after what they did at the Friendless, especially against Liverpool”-Erikten Hag decides Man Utd two academy star will be part of his first-team plans after US tour Pre-Season performances. “They will probably start against Manc City. That’s how good they are”

Erik ten Hag has reportedly decided on the future of a Manchester United academy star ahead of the 24/25 campaign.

This summer, the Red Devils traveled to the United States for their pre-season tour. During their time in the States, United lost to Arsenal, won against Real Betis, and ended their tour with a 3-0 defeat to Arne Slot’s Liverpool.

Key players like Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Mason Mount, and Casemiro were in action, along with some of the club’s top youth prospects. Youngsters such as Harry Amass, Rhys Bennett, Toby Collyer, and Ethan Wheatley were given the chance to impress.

With the new season approaching, it has been reported that Ten Hag has made a decision on one of these young players. According to The Athletic, full-back Amass is expected to continue the season with United. Meanwhile, a decision is pending on Collyer, whom Ten Hag rates highly but must decide whether to loan him out or keep him at the club for further development.

Speaking about the experience of going on tour with United, youngster Bennett said: “First of all, it’s minutes in the legs and a great experience for me personally and the rest of the young players. It’s one of those things, with it being pre-season. Obviously you want to win every game that you go into. I think we were unlucky.”

He added: “We had some good spells in the first half, and the second half also, but it’s unfortunate that we didn’t get the result we wanted. I’ve enjoyed it. I’ve taken everything as it comes. I’ve worked hard in training, got a lot out of it, and obviously it’s a bonus when you can play in games like that with world-class players around you. Playing next to world-class players, playing against world-class players; it’s something that I’ll keep taking with me on my journey.”

United will take on rivals Manchester City this weekend in the FA Community Shield at Wembley.
