Even better was his second outing against Rosenborg, which saw Devaney score his first senior goal for United just two minutes after being introduced off the bench in Norway.<\/p>\n
Both Carrick and senior United players have praised Devaney<\/a> and the cohort of youngsters<\/a> who have burst into the squad in the absence of the side’s World Cup players.<\/p>\n Despite that, Devaney is absent from the 23-man squad announced for Saturday’s friendly against Atletico Madrid.<\/p>\n Jacob Devaney left out of Manchester United squad<\/p>\n Michael Carrick’s squad for Manchester United v Atletico Madrid was named on Friday afternoon, but Ireland’s Jacob Devaney was absent from the 23-man selection.<\/p>\n His omission from a stretched squad in favour of other inexperienced midfielders and defenders such as Jaydan Kamason and the Fletcher brothers has not gone down well with United supporters on social media.<\/p>\n No Devaney ?<\/p>\n \u2014 Gerges shafik (@Gergesfigo) July 31, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Jack over Devaney idk how i feel about that https:\/\/t.co\/nKAS9YoZ7O<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Zirkzeason (@Zirkzeason) July 31, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n No jacob devaney???<\/p>\n \u2014 Malixe \ud83c\uddf3\ud83c\uddf4 (@Mal1xe) July 31, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Weird …..wonder why Chido, Devaney and maybe Gore have not travelled.. they had good games and considering we are short in numbers it would do them some good…<\/p>\n \u2014 Shem (@ShemGich) July 31, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n Where is Jacob Devaney<\/p>\n \u2014 \ud835\ude91\ud835\ude9e\ud835\ude8d\ud835\udea3\ud835\udea3.

He spent the back half of last season on loan at Scottish side St Mirren<\/a>, where he became an instant fan favourite.<\/p>\n With Manchester United bringing a diminished squad to Sweden, there could be a first-team debut on the cards for Irish-eligible JJ Gabriel, who has been named among the forwards.<\/p>\n Irish fans of Manchester United will certainly hope that Jacob Devaney is back in the fray by the time they face Leeds United in next month’s pre-season friendly against Leeds United at Croke Park.<\/p>\n The last Irish player to line out for United in a senior competitive game was Robbie Brady in September 2012.<\/p>\n
