Joshua Bohui has been included in the Manchester United Under-19 squad for the Otten Cup.

New arrival Bohui, 17, was named in a strong 19-man party which included recent academy signing Tahith Chong. Tyrell Warren, who Jose Mourinho mentioned as a possible debutant in the friendly at Wigan, was also named in Nicky Butt's squad.

United goalkeeper Sam Johnstone's brother, Max, is also a notable inclusion. It is believed he is on trial from Fleetwood.

Bohui signed a two-year scholarship with Brentford last summer after he scored twice in 12 appearances for The Bees' youth team as a 15-year-old. He ended last season as the academy's top scorer.

The Londoner is another graduate from the Afewee Academy, where Liverpool right-back Nathaniel Clyne was spotted by Southampton.

Brentford academy director Ose Aibangee said of Bohui in January: "Josh has been with us since he was 11 and we are really pleased for him.

"He has worked hard for this recognition [England U17 call-up] and it is great to see him achieve it. Seeing a Brentford player in an England squad alongside players from Manchester City, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United is a massive reward for the work being done throughout the academy."

United have bolstered their academy ahead of the new season with the signings of Chong, Irish right-back Lee O'Connor and American teenager Matthew Olosunde, while Switzerland international Nishan Burkart has also joined.
