And he didn't let fans down. Dylan Levitt, Ethan Laird and Di'Shon Bernard were all named in the starting XI against Astana, with Lee Grant, Axel Tuanzebe, Jesse Lingard and Luke Shaw also all likely to start.

According to Football Manager 2020, Levitt is the most talented of the three youngsters who are set to debut against Astana.
The midfielder has great technical attributes for such a young player, with high passing, technique, first touch and vision, he can also play in a variety of midfield positions, wide or centrally.
His current ability of 106 makes him some way below United's first team level right now, but his potential of -75, which means he can reach a current ability of 150 out of 200, means he could improve significantly over the next few years.
In fact, if Levitt does reach his potential, Football Manager suggests he can reach the level of players like Jadon Sancho (150), Ruben Neves (150) and Julian Draxler (150).
Definitely one to watch for United fans.

The 18-year-old has a current ability of 88 on Football Manager 2020, which is quite a bit lower than Levitt.
However, Laird has actually got the most potential of the three debutants, with a potential ability of -8, which means he can reach a current ability of 160 out of 200.
This potential suggests that Laird could become United's best defender, much better than Harry Maguire (150) in the future, and as good as players like Diego Godin (160), Joshua Kimmich (159) and Samuel Umtiti (159).
Wow.
