Erik ten Hag congratulated our Under-18s after they returned to Carrington as title winners.

The formation of the group was announced last month, with the objective of developing a world-class football stadium and regenerating the local area.

Lord Coe, former Chair of the organising committee for the 2012 London Olympics, was appointed chair of the task force, in which other senior figures include Andy Burnham, Mayor of Greater Manchester, Sara Todd, Chief Executive of Trafford Council, and United legend Gary Neville.

HOW COVENTRY ARE SHAPING UP

Kasey Palmer picked up his second yellow card of the competition against Wolves and, due to the Football League’s rules, it means the midfielder will miss Sunday’s match through suspension.

Sky Blues striker Matty Godden made a return to their matchday squad in Saturday’s 3-0 defeat at Birmingham City, after recovering from a calf issue.

Mark Robins’ side will be without winger Tatsuhiro Sakamoto, who has been ruled out with a back injury since February, and midfielder Jamie Allen, after he picked up a calf strain in training having recovered from a cheekbone fracture.

ACADEMY PLAYERS HELP FOUNDATION

Academy players joined up with the Manchester United Foundation over the Easter break, attending holiday camps at Dean Trust Broadoak School and Loreto High School, helping coach the kids in attendance and signing autographs.

Reds midfielder Maxi Oyedele said: “Elyh [Harrison], Ashton [Missin] and I can see that the children are so excited, they want to ask us questions — it’s brilliant and it’s been really fun.

“I remember when I did this type of thing when I was a kid and loved it. I’m sure these guys are enjoying it too. It gets them off the street, playing with other kids, through football. It’s great.”

KOBBIE AND ALEJANDRO ON GOLDEN BOY SHORTLIST

Academy graduates Kobbie Mainoo (18) and Alejandro Garnacho (19) have both been included in the Golden Boy Football Benchmark Index, featuring the top 100 Under-21 players in European football. Inclusion in this index is the first step to being named European Golden Boy for 2024.

WHEATLEY EARNS FIRST SPOT IN MATCHDAY SQUAD

Ethan Wheatley was included in the senior matchday squad for the first time as United visited Bournemouth on Saturday. Congratulations to the 18-year-old striker, who has worked hard all season and will have learned a great deal from the experience. He was joined in the squad by Harry Amass and Habeeb Ogunneye, two more Academy players yet to make their debuts.
