The squad number he wore is also the highest ever seen in a competitive match for United.

Shoretire was regarded as a shoo-in to feature this week, however his inclusion in Monday night's U23 match may have complicated matters. Whereas Amad was held back from playing in the season-ending clash with Derby, Shoretire was not, and played 90 minutes from the left wing.

Shoretire's senior debut against Newcastle held significance, as it was the team he played for before joining the Red Devils. He joined United after his parents moved to the city for work.

Former Newcastle academy coach David Ballantyne told Chronicle Live at the time: 'There's always one or two you just think "wow, yeah - he's got a real chance of being a player" and Shola was one of them.

He was like a ready-made athlete. He was phenomenal and just so quick. That stood out - he just had that natural speed. But no one could get him off the ball as well, he had that strength, and he was light, quickness of feet, light on his feet.

'I was initially frustrated that Newcastle lost out on one of their own, but it was a scenario that couldn't be helped with his parents being offered jobs down in the Manchester area which they had to take.'

While the recovery time from Monday means Shoretire is unlikely to feature in any form against Leicester, the prodigious talent could be retained in the stretched senior squad for the arrival of Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool on Thursday.

Anthony Elanga, 19
 
Anthony Elanga, 19
Swedish winger Elanga is creating a buzz around United's Carrington base, with many insiders tipping him as the next big thing in a red shirt.

The 19-year-old has been learning his trade quietly, while gaining priceless experience travelling home and away with the senior squad and being handed places on the bench.

Elanga was part of the travelling squad for United's Europa League trips to both Granada and Rome, though remained an unused substitute in both.
 
In 16 Premier League 2 appearances this season, he has nine goals and three assists. Such was his rapid progress that Solskjaer fast-tracked him into the first team.

Elanga first caught the eye for United during the 2018/19 term as a first-year scholar, scoring four times in 22 appearances for Neil Ryan's U18 side, and appearing far too good for the age group.

The pick of the bunch of Elanga's efforts came in the form of a goal-of-the month contender against Newcastle in March, following an elaborate dribble which took out the majority of the opposition team.

On Monday night Elanga was also held back from playing with the U23 squad, suggesting a role against Leicester at Old Trafford is imminent.
 
It is understood that Solskjaer had been hoping to hand Elanga his debut at some point in the final games of the current Premier League season, and the opening now appears to have fashioned itself.

The youngster is not expected to start, though is in line for a second-half cameo in which he will be able to present a case to the Norwegian for his future inclusion in the senior ranks.

On 16 March he committed his future by signing a new long-term contract with the club.
 
Hannibal Mejbri, 18
Mejbri has been lauded by United coaches as one of the most naturally accomplished dribblers to have developed in the youth ranks.

The teenage star brings bags of personality to matches, and is easily identifiable on the pitch due to his large mop of David Luiz-esque curly hair.

United managed to prise Mejbri away from the famed Monaco youth set-up in August 2019, and many glasses were clinked in celebration with the club in the firm belief that they have a star of the future.
 
Mejbri was acquired as a 16-year-old, yet the full extent of his contract with United mean the club could end up paying Monaco nearly £9m if all clauses are met.

The French-born attacking midfielder has his affairs handled by super-agent Jorge Mendes, and is a regular man-of-the-match candidate in the United U23 ranks.

While Mejbri is expected to be included in the squad against Leicester, his chances of featuring for the seniors took a blow on Monday night after he was named to play against Derby U23s.

Mejbri played, scored, and was sent off in a chaotic 3-1 defeat.
