Who is Connor Stanley and has he been called up to Man Utd’s Europa League squad? – The Sun

MANCHESTER UNITED travel to Belgium to face Club Brugge in the first leg of their Europa League Last 32 tie.

The Red Devils are heavy favourites to progress into the next round as they look to claim a piece of silverware and a direct route into the Champions League for next season.

Yet, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has previously used the competition as a breeding ground for young talent with Mason Greenwood, Ethan Laird and Dylan Levitt among those to earn playing time this season.

Who is Connor Stanley?

Stanley was born December 30, 2001.

The right-winger only joined Man Utd in August 2018, having spent most of his youth development at Birmingham City.

Since arriving, he has become a regular part of Neil Ryan's under-18 side, managing 11 appearances for them last season, and five more this term.

Just 24 players were included as Solskjaer prepared his side before travelling to Belgium.

But, it is not yet known if he has travelled with the squad.
