Man Utd's Overy could be on the move
[Getty Images] Barring 15-year-old JJ Gabriel coming in for England Under-20 striker Ethan Wheatley, who has a minor calf problem, Manchester United's 25-man squad for their first two pre-season games in Helsinki and Trondheim has stayed the same. That surely means anyone from the academy who has a chance of breaking into Michael Carrick's senior squad consistently this season will come from that group. It means the academy players not involved – including the likes of Gibraltar international James Scanlon, midfielder Jack Moorhouse, who spent the first half of last season at Leyton Orient , and Gabriele Biancheri, who was at Rotherham , will have to seriously consider their next moves. Australia full-back James Overy also falls into that group. Overy missed a lot of football with United last term after being picked for both the Under-20 World Cup and Under-23 Asian Cup. However, the Perth-born youngster did come on as a second-half substitute in the FA Youth Cup final defeat by Manchester City in May. He is coveted by plenty of A League sides, who are keen to sign Overy on loan, but there is also interest in the 18-year-old, who earned his first call-up to the senior Socceroos squad last season, in Europe.
