Armer keeps making his case
- Published
While Youri Tielemans' likely debut for Manchester United is the big news from a travelling squad to face Paris St-Germain in Gothenburg, in Michael Carrick's 22-man travelling squad, there is another less well-known name that sticks out.
We are down to five academy players now; with JJ Gabriel and Jim Thwaites among those to drop out.
As expected, Shea Lacey and the Fletcher twins Jack and Tyler are included, as is Harry Amass, who continues as back-up left back to Luke Shaw.
But last season's Under-18 skipper Dan Armer also keeps his place.
The Scottish youth international was the one player United's academy coaches felt enhanced their reputation in a disappointing FA Youth Cup final defeat by Manchester City in May.
Very much like Harry Maguire in the way he carries the ball, there is a maturity about Armer on and off the field.
We are approaching the point where Carrick will have all his players back and his squad will be more settled.
Where that will leave Armer is unclear but he has done himself a lot of good over the past few weeks.
