Tuanzebe closer to first-team debut

Jose Mourinho has revealed Manchester United youngster Axel Tuanzebe could soon make his first-team debut for the club, after working with the senior squad at the Aon Training Complex.

The 19-year-old defender was praised by Mourinho during the summer and has subsequently become a consistently impressive performer as Reserves captain, initially under former coach Warren Joyce and more recently under interim boss Nicky Butt.

Tuanzebe was pictured training with the first-team players earlier this week and, during an interview with MUTV on Wednesday, Mourinho was asked if the prospect could be involved in United's upcoming matches.
