Amad Diallo, Alvaro Fernandez and Hannibal Mejbri will have a chance to be in Erik ten Hag's plans at Manchester United this summer.
United signed a striker and a midfielder this summer, but the squad could also be bolstered by young players returning to the club after an impressive loan spell.
Amad enjoyed a spectacular campaign at Sunderland, scoring 14 goals and helping the club reach the Championship play-offs, missing out on promotion after losing to champions Luton Town.
The Ivorian was voted Black Cats Young Player of the Year, as was Fernandez after his time at Preston. The 20-year-old Spaniard made 42 appearances and provided six assists during his time at Deepdale. Meanwhile, Mejbri also had a chance in the Championship with Birmingham, becoming the fan favorite at St Andrews.
The Manchester Evening News has loaned a number of young players out next season but Amad, Fernandez and Mejbri will have the chance to impress on United's pre-season tour of the United States, the Manchester Evening News reports.
Ten Hag is said to be keen to take a closer look at Amad, who has made a few appearances for the first team and while Fernandez is expected to return on loan, he will be in the plans. pre-season by the coach.
19-year-old forward Charlie McNeil will be on loan this summer after a spell at Newport County this season, though he could join this summer with short-term options up front. United have made signing a striker a priority, with Harry Kane the manager's preferred choice. Of all United's young talents, former defender Rio Ferdinand is eager to see Amad give his chance, believing he can provide a solution in a "problematic position".
"He has talent, there's no doubt about that. You can see his talent, but you can see he wasn't tough enough back then.
“But the time he lent it to Sunderland, he left there like a hero, an absolute god. He also plays on the right wing, a position that is problematic for us. “I know Antony came in and did a great job, but he's someone you can look at and say if he can add something a little different. I want to be given another chance.
"There's a bit of unfinished business and I don't know if he's not good enough, not good enough for Man United or he [good enough] because I haven't watched enough."
