Tahith Chong, James Garner, Angel Gomes and Mason Greenwood have all been given game time, while Axel Tuanzebe has looked capable in defence after returning to the club following a successful season on loan at Aston Villa. These players have also been joined by exciting prospects Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Daniel James.

Speaking to the media ahead of Thursday's match against Tottenham Hotspur, McTominay believes that the youngsters have a chance to replicate the success shown by the Class of 92, and expects them to push to ensure their names are on the team sheet for our first Premier League match against Chelsea on 11 August.



“The Class of 92 were absolutely exceptional and it's going to be very, very difficult to replicate something like that,” he said. “We've got a good group of young boys who are ready to learn and ready to go the extra mile and do everything to get into the team and push some senior pros to get their places.”
