Manchester United returned to training today after a short break.

United are missing two weekends, with their final game of the season still over a week away against Crystal Palace.

United are assured of either a sixth or seventh-place finish in the Premier League this year, with their final outing to Selhurst Park viewed as a dead-rubber fixture.

As a result, manager Ralf Rangnick could switch up his selection by giving a number of youngsters a chance, and on Friday, a trio of academy prospects were given a chance to train with the first-team.

Squad pictures teased by the club on social media showed Alvaro Fernandez, 19, Shola Shoretire, 18, and Teden Mengi, 20, all dressed in club training gear as they took part in the session, reports the Manchester Evening News.

Shoretire has already made four appearances for the first-team and became the youngest player to ever represent the club in European competition when he featured from the bench against Real Sociedad last year.

Mengi has himself made two senior United appearances and has been back at the club for a number of weeks now ever since injury cut short his loan-spell with Championship side Birmingham City.

Fernandez has yet to get on the pitch at first-team level but is highly regarded by United coaches. On Wednesday night, he was named the club's U23 Player of the Year.
