Erik ten Hag has called up teenage duo Omari Forson and Daniel Gore for first-team training ahead of Manchester United's trip to Bournemouth.
The Reds marched to Viatlity Stadium on Saturday in an attempt to qualify for the Champions League, and they picked up a number of injuries before the game even started.
Marcus Rashford was spotted in training on Wednesday morning after missing United's 2-0 win over Wolves through a leg injury.
Scott McTominay was also present, having not played for the club since scoring in a 2–0 win over Everton on 8 April.

Meanwhile, Raphael Varane, who was brought in to replace Harry Maguire in case of Wolves, also stepped in. However, fans may not recognize young players Forson and Gore, who have had the opportunity to train with the senior team, the club has confirmed.
Their arrival marks the 32nd professional development player to have trained with the first team this season, totaling 571 sessions.

Forson has had a prolific season for United's Under-21 side, scoring eight goals from an attacking midfield and providing two assists.
However, Anthony Martial will only be remembered by Gore, after the duo were involved in a training ground collapse during the World Cup.
What happened? When the World Cup got underway in Qatar, a number of academy players were brought in to supplement the training, including 18-year-old Gore.

Selected players have been instructed not to challenge first team players to avoid any unwanted injuries.
However, Gore ignored his manager's warning, slamming into Martial and sparking an angry confrontation between the two, The Mirror reported.
Martial is said to have reacted, but the teenager remains the same, with the pair set to be separated before training is halted.
The two players are said to have made peace since then, although Ten Hag may choose to put them on the same training team this time around. Advertisement
Last time, Martial scored against Wolves, and looks set to be accepted again against Bournemouth, as he looks set to end an injury-ridden season in high form.
