Five teenagers have been added to the Manchester United squad that has travelled to London for Sunday’s Premier League clash with Tottenham.

Amid a mounting injury crisis, Ruben Amorim has called up players from the academy who have been training with the first-team squad this week.

United have been dealt a major injury blow after Amad Diallo suffered ankle ligament damage in training that could keep him out for the rest of the season.

Kobbie Mainoo, Manuel Ugarte and Toby Collyer have also been ruled out of the Spurs game, with Lisandro Martinez, Jonny Evans, Luke Shaw and Mason Mount still sidelined along with goalkeepers Altay Bayindir and Tom Heaton.

Chido Obi, Jack Fletcher, Sekou Kone, James Scanlon, Jack Moorhouse and Elyh Harrison have been added to United squad that has travelled to London, with Amorim set to make a final decision on his 20-man matchday squad.

Obi, 17, has made a huge impression in the United academy since joining from Arsenal last year and scored a hat-trick in an FA Youth Cup win over Chelsea this week.

Fletcher (17), Sekou Kone (19), James Scanlon (18), Jack Moorhouse (19) and goalkeeper Elyh Harrison (18) have also made the trip to London.
