Manchester United take teenage forward on trial

Manchester United have taken teenage forward Ollie Bray on trial as they look to add to their squad at youth level.

The 19-year-old has been at United for two weeks already as club coaches cast their eyes over the youngster and see what he could offer the squad.

Bray featured from the bench in the U21s 2-2 draw against Everton on Friday night, replacing Isak Hansen-Aarøen just past the hour mark.

The teenage striker, who hails from Exeter, was given permission to head to United on loan from current club Willand Rovers, who are in the Southern Football League.

Bray only joined the Devonshire side this summer, having joined from another local side, Holsworthy. He is regarded as one of the top talents in the area, having featured for Devon U18s earlier in his playing career.

After being thrashed 5-1 by Crystal Palace a week earlier, United U21s picked up their first point of the new Premier League 2 campaign with their 2-2 draw at Everton on Friday.

United took a two-goal lead at Haig Avenue in Southport after goals from Marc Jurado and Hansen-Aarøen but were soon pegged back after Tom Cannon netted twice in the space of just eight minutes.

The youngsters are next in action on Friday night when they host Fulham at Leigh Sports Village.
