Every pre-season game - including Melbourne Victory (11:05 BST Friday 15 July) - will be shown live in the Man Utd App and on ManUtd.com.

Will Fish has been added to Manchester United’s squad for the ongoing pre-season tour.

The 19-year-old will replace fellow centre-back and Academy graduate Axel Tuanzebe, who has returned home, in the 31-man group.

Fish, who made his United debut in May 2021, during a Premier League victory over Wolves at Molineux, joined up with his team-mates in Melbourne and has been selected on the substitutes’ bench for the clash with A-League side Melbourne Victory at the MCG.

Will, who has represented England at Under-17, Under-18 and Under-19 level, joins 12 fellow Academy graduates in Erik ten Hag's squad and will be hoping to get the chance to feature at some point on tour.

Fellow youngsters Charlie Savage and Zidane Iqbal impressed during the second half of United's 4-0 win over Bangkok in Liverpool on Tuesday.

In Thursday's press conference, Ten Hag waxed lyrical about the productivity of United's Academy.

"I have said it before, Manchester United has huge potential,” said Erik.

“Really good players, experienced players but also a lot of young guys, young boys who have a lot of potential.”

“We have to get the potential out so now we have to work really hard. Man United is famous about it and Marcus Rashford here is I think a symbol of the Academy of Manchester United and more upcoming talents who come after.”

Every pre-season game - including Melbourne Victory (11:05 BST Friday 15 July) - will be shown live in the Man Utd App and on ManUtd.com.
