Dan Gore among four new kids joining senior Man Utd training

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag added four youngsters to senior training this week.

The Reds host Southampton at Old Trafford, hoping to get back to winning ways in the Premier League after being thrashed 7-0 by Liverpool last weekend. Ten Hag's men responded to the defeat with a convincing 4-1 win over Real Betis in the first leg of their Europa League last-16 tie on Thursday night.

United are still without several first-team players through injury, with Marcel Sabitzer, Christian Eriksen and Donny van de Beek still sidelined. Therefore, Ten Hag has had more opportunities to invite some of the club's promising youngsters to train with the senior side at Carrington in recent weeks.

Ahead of the clash with the Saints this weekend, academy stars Sam Murray, Omari Forson, Marc Jurado and Dan Gore were part of the training squad. While Kobbie Mainoo and Zidane Iqbal were also in action at United's training base, the duo have become first-team training regulars.
