Europa League: NI teenager Ethan Galbraith makes Manchester United squad for Linz game
- Published
Northern Irish teenager Ethan Galbraith has been included in Manchester United's squad for their Europa League meeting with LASK Linz.
United host the Austrian side in the last-16 second leg having won the first game 5-0 behind closed doors in March.
Galbraith, a former Linfield youngster, joined the United academy in 2017.
The 19-year-old made his senior debut as a late substitute in their Europa League group stage defeat by Astana in November.
The Glengormley native also made his Northern Ireland debut in a friendly win over Luxembourg last September.
Red Devils boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has named a youthful 30-man squad for the return leg against Linz.
Like Galbraith, Ethan Laird, Teden Mengi, James Garner and Tahith Chong have all been included alongside established first-team stars Bruno Fernandes, Paul Pogba, Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial.
Should United advance, they will face Copenhagen or Istanbul Basaksehir in the quarter-final.
Elsewhere, Republic of Ireland Under-21 goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu has made Manchester City's squad ahead of their return to Champions League action.
Bazunu, 18, is City's fourth-choice goalkeeper behind Ederson, Claudio Bravo and Scott Carson. City face Real Madrid on Friday in the second leg of their last-16 tie, with Pep Guardiola's men leading 2-1 on aggregate.
