According to the MEN, Manchester United have a young player named Reda Khadra on trial with the under-23s.

Khadra was an unused substitute as United’s under-23 team were beaten 5-0 by Doncaster Rovers on Thursday afternoon.

The youngster is being looked at as an addition for the under-23s rather than the first team, and on the face of it, United missed a chance to see what he could do in a game, although coach Neil Wood may have felt this was not the right match for him.

Who is Reda Khadra?

Khadra is a free agent after being released by Borussia Dortmund at the start of the summer.

Coincidentally as with Dortmund’s Jadon Sancho, Khadra plays as a right winger.

He has played 69 youth team matches for Dortmund in total, scoring two goals and providing 11 assists.

Seven of these assists came in the 2019/20 season, with two in the UEFA Youth League.

He scored in a UEFA Youth League clash against Derby County earlier this year.

Khadra is a German under-18 international, and is also eligible to play international football for Lebanon.

The teenager turned 19-years-old at the start of July.

One to watch

Khadra is a promising winger although not one at first team level for Dortmund, or United.

It cannot hurt to take a look at him, and United will have been running the rule over him behind the scenes.

He is not the arrival from Dortmund who supporters have in mind, of course, but if United are impressed by what they see, he could add depth to an under-23 team which are far from the finished product, as the scoreline against Doncaster demonstrated.
