Who is Mateo Mejia? Manchester United youngster included in squad for Wrexham fixture
25.07.2023 - 17:48 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Attacker Mateo Mejia has been included in Manchester United's 15-man squad for their clash with Wrexham in San Diego on Tuesday evening.
The Colombian, who signed a new contract at Old Trafford last month, is one of a crop of youngsters, as well as Jonny Evans, to have been included in the squad to take on the Welsh outfit. The contest is set be handled by the club's academy players, as well as a cluster of youngsters from Erik ten Hag's first-team squad.
Mejia, 20, has not featured for the Reds in pre-season so far, meaning he will be hoping to get the opportunity to leave his calling card against Wrexham. Capable of playing anywhere across the front line, the youngster was a regular fixture for United's Under-21s last season, making 15 appearances in the Premier League 2.
He chipped in with two goals and grabbed four assists. The bulk of his appearances came from out wide but he can also operate as a centre-forward.
