Title: Utd's Striker Named for First Time in Matchday Squad

The football world is buzzing with excitement as Manchester United’s 19-year-old striker, named after the first time he has been part of the squad, made his debut on Saturday against his former club, Liverpool.

The youngster, who was born on March 24th, 2001 and played his first game for Manchester United back in 2015, was chosen to play alongside some of the best players in the league this season. The match was held at Old Trafford, where Manchester United have their home games since 1889.

Despite being just a year younger than his previous team-mate, Marcus Rashford, who is currently the top scorer in England's Premier League, the striker showed that he had earned his spot in the first-team by scoring three goals in the opening half-hour of action.

"Today was an important day for me," said the young striker. "I'm very grateful to be playing for such a great club like Manchester United and I am looking forward to the rest of the season."

United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer praised the youngster's performance, saying, "He's a really good player. He's got a lot of pace and he can make things happen. I think we're going to see him develop into something special over the next few months."

Solskjaer also mentioned that he wanted to give the youngster more opportunities to showcase himself, stating, "We want to see how much he can contribute to our squad. We've always felt that he could become a regular in our starting lineup. It's exciting to see him get his chance today."

The youngster will now have plenty of support from his teammates and fans as he tries to earn his place in the first team. With so many talented strikers at Manchester United, it remains to be seen whether he will be able to step up to the challenge and lead the team towards success.

In conclusion, the young striker has proven that he has what it takes to be a key member of the Manchester United squad. His performances in the opening half-hour of action were impressive and he is certainly one to watch out for in the coming seasons.
