Omari-Forson joined the Red Devils in 2020, after spells with West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspurs.

The England U-17 player impressed in his first campaign, which saw him promoted from the U-18 team to the U-23's, scoring on his debut in the Premier League II.

He is expected to continue his development with the youth side but could make his senior debut this season, as manager Ole Gunnar Solksjear keeps an eye on him.

The United manager is revered for giving young talents the opportunity, and it is likely Omari Forson could get his chance in Cup games.

Last season, he made 20 appearances for the U-18 team, scoring five goals and creating six before his surprise inclusion in the U-23's game against Derby.

He scored and created an assists after 76 minutes as Manchester United won that game by 5-2.

He has been active in pre-season with the U-23's, scoring in the 2-2 draw with Kidminster Harriers.

Manchester United begin their Premier League campaign with a home fixture against Leeds United on August 14, 2021.
