As the young lads work with their more experienced colleagues in training, it is worth providing a few more details on them.

JOSHUA BOHUI



I spoke to Joshua on a flight to Belgrade last season and he told me he wanted to catch Jose Mourinho's eye, and he has managed to do that. He has done really well, getting into the Reserves, ploughing a lone furrow on his own up front, using his speed, and he was perhaps most impressive in the UEFA Youth League. He scored a couple of goals against Benfica, and the one in the last minute was a terrific solo effort. Joshua came from Brentford as a youngster and took a little bit of time to settle but, now that he has done, I expect him to show his speed and ability out in the States.

TAHITH CHONG



Chongy, as he is affectionately known, is a really good talent. He is an exceptional player with great speed and he is a good dribbler. He made the step up to the Reserves really well last season and won the Jimmy Murphy Youth-Team Player of the Year award, which was fully merited and deserved, even though most of his work was with the Under-23s and not the Under-18s. He is somebody who everybody is looking forward to seeing on the tour when the matches start.
