Who is Dermot Mee? The Manchester United goalkeeper on the bench vs Everton

Manager Erik ten Hag has included youngster Dermot Mee in the matchday squad for Manchester United's Premier League clash with Everton this lunchtime.

The goalkeeper, 21, has been named on United's nine-man bench which features two goalkeepers, with Altay Bayindir also providing cover for Andre Onana. Mee is one of a crop of youngsters who have been named among the substitutes, along with Willy Kambwala, Habeeb Ogunneye and Toby Collyer.
