Steven Railston of the Manchester Evening News reports that four youngsters have been involved in first-team training on Wednesday.

The 20-year-old is also reported to have started in a behind-closed-doors match against Burnley, in which United lost 3-0.
Hansen-Aaroen, Forson and Jurado, all 19, are yet to feature at senior level, although the latter has been an unused substitute.

It was announced on Tuesday that Mason Mount will be out of action until the international break due to injury.
The 24-year-old will therefore be unavailable for selection this weekend and their crucial upcoming match against Arsenal.
