Forgotten Man United academy graduate James Weir has opened up on his early retirement and making his debut alongside Marcus Rashford

Marcus Rashford's Premier League debut is well remembered - it came just three days after his ever-senior appearance for the club. What is less common knowledge is another academy graduate that also got onto the field for the first time that day.

Van Gaal ignored these options and went instead for midfielder Weir. Ander Herrera was withdrawn on a yellow card having scored, and Weir got the chance to make what went on to be his first and only appearance for the first team. Weir still remembers the season that he was involved in senior action at United though. “I was on the bench for about 10 games,” he told the Guardian. “It was a bit of a whirlwind – it feels like a lifetime ago.

“My parents were there, but the whole thing was so quick – the adrenaline saw me through and I can’t remember much about it, apart from standing with Timothy Fosu-Mensah and Paddy McNair at the final whistle, trying to take it all in.
