The Debate: How will our youngsters fare against Wrexham?
Former Manchester United player Danny Webber believes that the youthful side that will take on Wrexham in San Diego have the opportunity to catch Erik ten Hag's attention with a good performance against the Welsh outfit.
The teams play one another at the sold-out Snapdragon Stadium on Wednesday (03:30 BST) with the Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney-owned club providing a stern test for our youngsters, and the opportunity to play in front of a capacity crowd.
On the latest episode of The Debate, Webber - who came through United's Academy himself - explained how important this fixture will be for the young Reds' growth.
The Debate: How will we fare against Wrexham?
The Debate | Danny Webber explains why the clash with Wrexham is a superb opportunity for our Academy players...
"It's great for them," he said. "It's an isolated game for them, coming over, playing against Wrexham.
"There's a lot of hype around Wrexham with the owners, so they will play in front of a decent stadium of fans but, ultimately, their job is to come here and win the game.
"It's going to be a tough one for them because you're are talking about Wrexham, who have been non-league, who are a team of men, who have learned how to win together. They have been beaten by Chelsea [in another friendly], but our boys have still got to go out there and perform, which, when you break it all down, it's about winning football matches and learning on the job."
Webber also indicated that, with Ten Hag set to be supporting Under-21s coach Travis Binnion in this match, the game against Wrexham is the ideal opportunity for our Academy players to grab the Dutchman's attention.
"I think out here, I don't know if people expect Wrexham to beat Manchester United," he continued. "I think they like the idea of the game, but I don't think anyone is expecting Wrexham to beat Manchester United.
"But Man United also aren't playing the full squad, if you know what I mean. It does balance the scales a little bit and, as I said before, both teams want to win but our job is to go out there and make sure we win.
"[They can do what] the likes of Dan Gore have done, and Kobbie [Mainoo], [and] to put themselves in the manager's eye line."
