Youngster appears in Man United squad for the first ever time vs Everton, wears no.45
In advance of Manchester United’s Premier League matchup with Everton at Old Trafford on Saturday, custodian Dermot Mee has been added to the senior squad for the first time.
As they say, one man’s suffering is frequently another’s good fortune.
And other young players have been given the chance to make their mark during a season marred by an endless string of ailments.
For example, Willy Kambwala was added to the starting lineup after players like Raphael Varane and Lisandro Martinez suffered injuries.
In February, Omari Forson also received his first start against Fulham, and in Manchester United’s 3-1 loss to Brighton and Hove Albion, Hannibal Mejbri scored his first goal ever.
Injury-hit Manchester United host Everton
Unless anything extraordinary happens, Dermot Mee is not going to make his Red Devils debut anytime soon after Kambwala and company.
However, the Northern Ireland Under-21 international finds himself in the matchday squad for the first time when Erik ten Hag’s team hosts Everton at Old Trafford due to several important players still being out and spots on the bench need to be filled.
born in Birmingham Mee came to the team in 2019 from Fulham. Since then, he has made eleven appearances in Premier League 2 with the club’s Under-21 team.
Mee, who has been given the shirt number 45, is one of Ten Hag’s two goalkeepers on the bench when Everton comes to town, along with Altay Bayindir.
The fact that United is down to two goalkeepers on the bench speaks volumes about the injury problems the team is still dealing with. Other substitutes include Kambwala, Tobias Collyer, and Habeen Ogunneye.
Dermot Mee was elevated to the first team.
Ten Hag, whose 61 percent win ratio is still the best of any Man United boss, told The Guardian on Friday, “It tells us that we are going in the right direction.”
“Imagine that we had a lot more players available and that injuries and setbacks didn’t occur.
We could easily have 75 wins.” And that indicates this team’s promising future.
“You can see there is a bright future when you compare it with other managers, other teams, or previous managers in this big club.”
This squad has a decent age distribution. Middle-aged and younger players.
“Consider when they will be accessible. From 100 games, we could have easily won 75. It’s a significant distinction.
Manchester United has to defeat relegation-threatened Everton to increase their already narrow chances of earning a Champions League spot for Ineos’ first season in charge, following back-to-back top-flight defeats — surprised at home by Fulham and gummed down by Man City last time out.
