The 18-man Manchester United squad for Carabao Cup tie with Chelsea as teenage duo make trip

Manchester United could hand opportunities to Brandon Williams and James Garner in Wednesday night's Carabao Cup clash with Chelsea.

According to the Manchester Evening News , the youngsters have travelled with the senior squad for the fourth round fixture in West London.

The Red Devils have endured a mixed season season and sit in seventh position in the Premier League going into the clash at Stamford Bridge.

With a place in the top four difficult to come by, success in a cup competition could be of the utmost importance to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer as he looks to bring silverware to Old Trafford.

The inclusion of the duo is not a surprise since Solskjaer all-but confirmed their involvement following victory over Norwich City at the weekend.

Asked if they'll be involved, he said: "I would think so.

"Jimmy played 10-15 minutes tonight and was excellent, calmed us down and made some good decisions when we wanted to see the game out.

"We have not made a decision on who is going to play, but you will probably see the two of them."

While Williams and Garner have travelled, there's a number of big stars who won't be involved.

David De Gea has not travelled, while the likes of Paul Pogba, Luke Shaw, Nemanja Vidic, Eric Bailly and Timothy Fosu-Mensah miss out through injury.

Mason Greenwood, Angel Gomes and Tahith Chong also didn't travel, but could link up with the squad after their under-21s EFL Trophy clash on Tuesday night.

Man United's 18-man travelling squad: Sergio Romero, Lee Grant, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Harry Maguire, Victor Lindelof, Phil Jones, Marcos Rojo, Ashley Young, Brandon Williams, Fred, James Garner, Scott McTominay, Andreas Pereira, Juan Mata, Jesse Lingard, Daniel James, Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial.
