Is Mjebri with the u23 squad now then?

 

[Utdstar01]

Very young team.

Is Mjebri with the u23 squad now then?

Played yesterday, yes. Will probably depend on injuries in both teams, importance of independent matches for each sides etc. It seems like he’s more and more ready for U23 football, which might be more beneficial for him at this stage, but he’ll no doubt play in the FA Youth Cup etc.

 

[top1whoisman]

Very young team.

Indeed it is.

 

[Mark Pawelek]

Who is Kai Corbertt? Should it really be Kai Corbett?, but he is WHU player. So double puzzle.

On trial from WH.

 

[Inigo Montoya]

On trial from WH.

Any good?

 

[top1whoisman]

Any good?

No idea, hopefully he’ll get on today.

 

[top1whoisman]

Corbett on for Savage at HT.

 

[top1whoisman]

56’ Stanley on for Haygarth

 

[top1whoisman]

The picture’s back on MUTV. 59’ still 0-0.

 

[top1whoisman]

61’ Corbett 1-0!

 

[top1whoisman]

76’ Hoogewerf on for Iqbal

 

[Inigo Montoya]

61’ Corbett 1-0!

That answers my question

 

[top1whoisman]

That answers my question

Haha He’s been lively.

 

[top1whoisman]

Hard-fought victory and a clean sheet(!) in tough conditions.

 

[Class of 63]

When I saw the name Corbertt on the bench was wondering if we'd signed another young French lad on the quiet. He might be on trial from West Ham but the commentator said he was a recent signing. He scored 3 goals in 10 appearances for their(WHU) u18 side this season.

 

[AltiUn]

The club website calls Corbett a "recent arrival" so looks like he's a permanent signing.

Seems so, will be nice to see more of him in the coming weeks.

 

[KevinJoh]

Not sure he would be available to play in official match if he is on trial only. So, I guess it is permanent

It's definitely a trial. Players already registered with the FA can play in u18s league matches but players from abroad can't.
