Michael Carrick has suggested he will give an opportunity to some of the younger players at Manchester United for their final Premier League game of the season at Brighton next week.
Carrick has been a regular at academy games since taking over at United in January, and also watched the FA Youth Cup final defeat at Manchester City on Thursday.
He was prevented from doing it against Nottingham Forest due to the PL2 final against Brighton, which United lost 1-0, being played on Saturday night at the Amex Stadium.
However, Carrick knows the importance of youth development and it seems as though the likes of Shea Lacey and Fletcher twins Tyler and Jack will have some involvement on the final day of the Premier League season.
“It is something we would love to happen – one hundred percent,” Carrick said.
“Obviously we will reassess leading into the Brighton game, but it is a massive part for me and for this football club to try and bring the younger players on and give them opportunities to see what they can do.”
Tyler Silsby scored the second-half winner for Brighton, who went into the play-offs after a 12th-placed finish.
Lacey, Chido Obi and skipper Sonny Aljofree had Manchester United’s best chances, but couldn’t make it count.
