Manchester United have included Jack Fletcher in their squad to face Brentford as injuries continue to bite for Erik ten Hag.
Fletcher arrived at Old Trafford on Saturday lunchtime and now looks likely to make the bench against the Bees, which would be his first involvement in a matchday squad.
The 17-year-old, an attacking midfielder by trade, joined United from Manchester City in July 2023 alongside twin brother Tyler, with the club paying £1.25million for the pair.
Fletcher, son of former United midfielder and current first-team coach Darren, has scored two goals in two appearances in the EFL Trophy this season and has one goal and two assists in four Premier League 2 games, but he has never made a senior squad.
