Manchester United have welcomed their 15-year-old prospect, Amir Ibragimov to his inaugural first-team training session today.
The United academy player has seemingly taken part in the senior first-team training session for the first time.
This is a massive indication of the faith Erik ten Hag is beginning to place on his prospects.
Ibragimov posted on his instagram story a message which looked to suggest he had trained with the first-team today.
The caption read “1st team session”, this would indeed be a huge moment as it is very rare a someone so young trains with the seniors.
While it is probably just an experience for the youngster, it likely won’t be long before he is knocking on the first team doors, given his immense talent.
Who is Amir Ibragimov?
Ibragimov is a Dagestan, Russia born attacking talent currently playing in United’s u18s.
Ibragimov moved to England at the age of 11, joining the Sheffield United academy before quickly being snapped up by United.
United signed Ibragimov to contract last August amid interest from across Europe.
Ibragimov represented England at u15 level earlier this season. It seems therefore, he is likely to favour representing the Three Lions over his native Russia.

Ibragimov is a name to keep an eye on in the next few years.
