A closer look at the three United teenagers who could feature at Crystal Palace

United academy products Tahith Chong, Angel Gomes and James Garner are included in the matchday squad for Wednesday night's match.

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has called up a trio of teenagers to his squad for the trip to Crystal Palace.

Injuries to several first-team stars will see academy products Tahith Chong, Angel Gomes and James Garner travel to Selhurst Park, but who are the teenage talents?

Here, Press Association Sport takes a look at the three youngsters who have been excelling in United's youth ranks.

Tahith Chong

Signed from Feyenoord in 2016, the 19-year-old winger is United's current Young Player of the Year. He has scored seven goals in all competitions for the reserve-team this season. Chong, whose defining feature is is lightning pace, was on the bench for the 1-0 defeat to Juventus in the Champions League in October and eventually made his first-team debut in the 2-0 FA Cup victory against Reading in January. Solskjaer said: "He'll definitely be taking people on if he comes on."

The cousin of former United winger Nani, Gomes has been been in around around the senior squad for a couple of years now. He actually made his first-team debut against Palace on the final day of the 2016/17 season, when he became the first player born in the 2000s to play in the Premier League. The 18-year-old, an attacking midfielder, made his second appearance for the club against Huddersfield on Boxing Day. Solskjaer said: "Angel has been successful with England Under-17s, there with (Jadon) Sancho, (Callum) Hudson-Odoi and (Phil) Foden, so, he has been a big part of that and I am definitely sure that if he gets the chance, he'll do well."

James Garner

The 17-year-old central midfielder has yet to make a first-team appearance but was on the bench against Valencia in the Champions League last year and Reading in the FA Cup last month. The England Under-17 captain is highly thought of by Solskjaer, who said: "Jimmy Garner is a Michael Carrick but 20 years younger, so I'm sure he'll do well."
