The Manchester United youth academy has announced that 19-year-old striker, Jack Maddox, has been named in the team's matchday squad for this season's Premier League matches.

Maddox is one of the most promising young players at Old Trafford and has already made a name for himself in the club's youth system. He has shown great promise in his time with the under-18s side, scoring several important goals to help them reach the quarter-finals of the FA Youth Cup last season.

However, it seems that Maddox's time with the first-team may not be far off as he was named in the squad for this season's matches. This is a significant achievement for him and shows that he is being given the opportunity to prove himself on the biggest stage possible.

With the likes of Mason Greenwood, Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard all currently out injured, Maddox will be hoping to make the most of his chance to impress in front of the senior squad. He will need to show that he can handle the pressure of playing against top-class opposition and perform at a high level if he wants to earn a place in the starting line-up.

Overall, this is a positive development for Manchester United and their future prospects. Maddox has the talent and potential to become a key player for the club in the years to come and this move is a testament to the hard work and dedication that he has put into his football.
