James Overy could be loaned out from Manchester United this summer

Summary

James Overy is among Manchester United's academy players considering their next moves after being excluded from the 25-man squad for pre-season games in Finland and Norway. The 18-year-old full-back missed much of last season due to international commitments, but he appeared as a substitute in the FA Youth Cup final. There is interest from several A-League teams in signing him on loan, and he has also garnered attention from clubs in Europe following his first senior call-up to the Australian national team.

What they're saying

"
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. 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.
