Man Utd could be without Anglo-Polish-Nigerian CM against Crystal Palace in FA Youth Cup 

Manchester United could be facing a selection dilemma for their FA Youth Cup clash against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park this weekend.

According to Manchester Evening News,  Manchester-born Poland U19 international of Nigerian descent Max Oyedele is one of five players included in Erik ten Hag's squad for a training camp in Spain who are eligible to play in the FA Youth Cup.

The other teenagers in Spain eligible for the FA Youth Cup are Kobbie Mainoo, Tyler Fredricson, Sam Murray and Dan Gore.

It remains to be seen whether the aforementioned players will be available for selection against the Eagles given that Manchester United's first team face Real Betis in a friendly on the eve of the U18s trip to the English capital.

There are no plans in place for the players to be flown back to England before the friendly against the La Liga side.

Last season, Oyedele helped United to win the FA Youth Cup, featuring in every single game in the competition including the showpiece against Nottingham Forest, and was on target against Scunthorpe United in the third round.

Crystal Palace's Nigerian midfielder David Ozoh, 17, is eligible to take part in the third round clash against Manchester United.
