Ole Gunnar Solskjaer promotes two academy youngsters into Manchester United first team
Manchester United youngsters Ro-Shaun Williams and DJ Buffonge trained with the first team today after being promoted by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
The Norwegians made a point of talking up the clubs academy since taking over as caretaker boss from Jose Mourinho.
Angel Gomes, one of Uniteds most promising academy graduates, came off the bench in the Boxing Day win against Huddersfield.
Solskjaer wants to provide a pathway from the clubs academy into the first team and Williams and Buffonge appear to be the latest to benefit.
Williams, 20, is a speedy centre-back that struck up a good relationship with Axel Tuanzebe in the clubs youth teams.
Buffonge, the 20-year-old midfielder, joined the club after spending time in Arsenal and Fulhams academy in 2015.
Romelu Lukaku, Anthony Martial, Alexis Sanchez and Antonio Valencia all participated in training.
