Four youngsters train with Manchester United first-team ahead of Roma Europa League semi final

Manchester United have included four youngsters in their first-team training squad ahead of the first-leg of their Europa League semi final against AS Roma.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side will continue their European adventure on Thursday night when they host the Serie A side at Old Trafford for their last four tie.

The first-team squad have been put through their paces as they prepare for the crucial match and a quartet of teenagers were involved in the latest session on Tuesday.

Summer signing Amad was pictured in the session after he shone for the U23s in a 4-2 win against Chelsea last Friday night, while fellow forwards Anthony Elanga and Shola Shoretire were also involved.

Shoretire became United's youngest ever European debutant when he came on in the Europa League draw with Real Sociedad back in February, while Elanga was an unused substitute across both legs against Granada earlier in the competition.

Hannibal Mejbri also took part in the training session, however he is not eligible to feature for United in European competition this season.

Mejbri, 18, is not eligible to be on the B list for the competition because he has not been at the club for two years yet so would have had to be named on the A list which was submitted back in February.

In terms of other team news Anthony Martial and Phil Jones are both still out through injury, while Harry Maguire, Luke Shaw and Scott McTominay are all back from suspension after serving one-match European bans against Granada.
