Omari Forson makes first-team debut
Huge congratulations to Omari Forson who made his first-team debut in our 2-0 defeat of Wigan Athletic in the third round of the Emirates FA Cup.
“After three first-team debuts last year, we’re delighted to see another so soon into 2024,” Nick Cox said.
“It was only three weeks ago that we were celebrating Willy Kambwala becoming the 248th Academy player to graduate into the senior side and now Omari has become 249. Whatever he goes on to achieve in the game, this is a landmark moment for him and his family to celebrate.
“Congratulations to Omari and those around him and to the multitude of staff who have contributed to his development.
“As we emphasise to all our young players, even after a great deal of hard work, this is just the beginning for Omari.
“For the Academy, it’s another step closer to a landmark 250th graduate. That will be a fantastic occasion to reflect on 90 years of incredible work at Old Trafford, The Cliff and now Carrington. We know we’re following in the footsteps of greats here and while we’re excited to hit 250 and celebrate, the focus will very quickly turn to 251, 252 and all the way to 300 and beyond.”
