Manchester United have once again sent an U19 side to Croatia for the Mladen Ramljak Memorial Tournament and it kicks off on Thursday afternoon.
It is becoming a yearly tradition that Manchester United are attendees at the Mladen Ramljak Memorial Tournament which is hosted by Dinamo Zagreb in Croatia.
The competition pits U17 teams across Europe against eachother in two groups before a series of finals are played in the weekend.
United have taken 15-year-old Kai Rooney to the U19 tournament, with Wayne Rooney’s son on the fast track and now considered internally alongside JJ Gabriel as the best at the club.
Gabriel is also at the tournament, while several other elite talents are expected to have made the trip.
The tournament kicks off on Thursday against Rapid Vienna before United take on Juventus on Friday, and United in Focus will be providing live coverage throughout.

While it has been an uneventful 26 minutes, Ibragimov looks excellent each time he gets on the ball.
Driving runs and some skill all while he has his shirt tucked in, he’s becoming a really interesting midfield profile.
