Overy sits out Aussie U-20 World Cup opener

Manchester United youngster James Overy was born in Perth, Western Australia

Manchester United youngster James Overy was an unused substitute in Australia's defeat to Italy in their opening game of the FIFA Under-20 World Cup in Chile.

Overy was born in Perth, Western Australia but is also available to play for Scotland and has featured for them at Under-19 level.

The Scottish FA has been keen to get Overy to commit to them.

However, he was named in Australia's interim squad for the prestigious tournament in South America and has committed to the country of his birth.

The 17-year-old joined United in 2024 but spent eight months on the sidelines with injury.

He has made appearances at both Under-18 and Under-21 level for the club this season.
