Leicester City striker Jeffrey Schlupp has been included in Manchester United's development squad's starting lineup for this evening's match against Liverpool.

The 20-year-old has been on a trial for a number of weeks with the Premier League outfit, although there had been no previous indication as to whether or not manager Sir Alex Ferguson was interested in signing him.

However, his inclusion in tonight's team has resulted in speculation that Ferguson is nearing a decision.

Ghana international Schlupp came through the ranks at the King Power Stadium.
