Manchester United starlet Tosin Kehinde given first-team chance ahead of West Brom clash

TEENAGE talent Tosin Kehinde has been called up to train with the first-team ahead of Sunday's match against West Brom.
Jose Mourinho has been left short of options following an influx of injuries to his midfielders.
Marouane Fellaini is out with a knee injury, and Michael Carrick continues his spell on the sidelines after being diagnosed with a heart problem.
Midfield ace Paul Pogba will serve the last game of his three-match ban against the Baggies on Sunday.
Kehinde has featured regularly as a central midfielder for United's U23 squad this season.
But he is yet to make his senior debut under the management of Mourinho.
After training with the first-team on Friday, the 19-year-old tweeted: "Good session with the first team today."
But despite the injuries, Mourinho still has 22 fit first-team players to choose from for Sunday's game.

Mourinho has handed debuts to a number of United academy graduates, including Joel Pereira, Axel Tuanzebe, Scott McTominay, Angel Gomes and Demetri Mitchell.
Born in Lagos and raised in England, the Nigerian ace started his career with Tottenham before he moved to Old Trafford.
He made nine starts for the reserves in the 2016/17 campaign, with a further 12 substitute appearances.
Sunday's clash with West Brom is a must win game for Mourinho's men, who are chasing Manchester City at the top of the table.
