Manchester United youngster Jack Moorhouse has been named in the matchday squad for Sunday afternoon's Premier League clash against Tottenham Hotspur.

United head coach Ruben Amorim has included Moorhouse on the substitutes bench for the fixture on Sunday afternoon. The 19-year-old has been included in the first-team squad at United for the first time this season after impressing Amorim during training.

Moorhouse's selection comes amid recent injury concerns within the United squad. In terms of midfielders, Manuel Ugarte, Kobbie Mainoo, Toby Collyer and Mason Mount are all unavailable, while Amad Diallo has now been added to the injury list.

The ongoing match could hand Moorhouse an opportunity to star on the first-team stage for the first time in his young career. But what more do we know about the potential United debutant?

Moorhouse, 19, and plays in an advanced midfield role for United's Under-21s - and is also capable of performing on the left wing. This season, he has three goals in seven Premier League 2 appearances and has been tipped for some time to make the jump up to the first-team in the near future.

The teenager made his debut for United for their Under-18s team when he was just 15 years old in November 2021. Just two weeks later, he scored his first goal for the club, in a win against Burnley in the Under-18s Premier League.

It was this season that Moorhouse first made the jump from the Under-18s up to the Under-21s. He goes into the game in good form, having scored his third goal of the season for Travis Binnion's group in a 2-0 win against their Tottenham counterparts just last week.
