17-Year-Old GK Trains With Man Utd First Team, Why Nigerian Duo Will Not Debut

The 17-year-old goalkeeper Matěj Kovář  trained with Manchester United's first-team on Friday ahead of their Premier League clash vs Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.

With Argentina international Sergio Romero injured and Kieran O'Hara set to feature for the U23s in their big game against Sunderland tonight, manager Jose Mourinho invited the Czech Republic U18 goalkeeper for the training session at Aon Training Complex.

Young Nigerian duo Tosin Kehinde and Matthew Olosunde were not sighted during the workout this morning as they are expected to play for the reserve tonight at Old Trafford.

Kehinde and Olosunde have not yet made their first-team debuts since joining the Red Devils six and two years ago respectively.

As for Manchester City, it remains to be seen whether manager Pep Guardiola will name Tosin Adarabioyo and Lukas Nmecha in his match day squad for the Manchester derby.

Presumably they are unlikely to be fielded as they were in action for the entirety of the U23s 1-0 loss to West Ham in the Premier League 2 on Thursday evening.

City will be crowned Premier League champions if they beat their bitter rivals at the Etihad.
