Man Utd youngster Ibragimov gets Russia call
- Published
Manchester United youngster Amir Ibragimov has been picked by Russia for their forthcoming matches against Egypt, Burkina Faso and Trinidad and Tobago.
The 18-year-old midfielder has just returned from five months out with a broken foot and is expected to be part of the United squad for their FA Youth Cup final against Manchester City.
Ibragimov is one of the most highly rated young players in United's academy.
His elder brother, Ibragim, is a professional mixed martial arts fighter and regarded as one of the top prospects in the Professional Fighters' League.
Ibragimov qualifies for England and his native Russia.
They have been banned from international competitions since February 2022 after the country's invasion of Ukraine but have been playing friendlies.
It is not known whether Ibragimov intends to accept the call-up and United sources say they are still to be informed by Russia of the squad selection, which has been confirmed on social media.
