According to The Athletic, Max Thompson will be in Newcastle United’s squad for Sunday’s Carabao Cup Final against Manchester United.
The 18-year-old appears to be on his way to Wembley, where he will most likely be one of the backup goalkeepers to either Loris Karius or Mark Gillespie, whose identity is unknown at this time. This could be a watershed moment for the teenager, whose father, Ray Thompson, has been the Magpies’ kitman for the past 30 years.
Now, a proud father may see his son, Max Thompson, in the Newcastle squad to face Manchester United in the Carabao Cup Final, as the club seeks its first piece of silverware since 1955.
According to the Athletic, Newcastle will take three goalkeepers to Wembley as part of their squad to face Manchester United in the Carabao Cup Final, with Max Thompson possibly among them.
With Nick Pope recently sent off in his side’s 2-0 loss to Liverpool, the youngster now has the opportunity to be a part of a squad on the verge of history.
THE STUFF OF DREAMS
Of course, Max Thompson has little chance of starting ahead of Loris Karius or Max Gillespie in Newcastle’s Carabao Cup final against Manchester United.
To understate how significant it is for a youngster who, like his father, has been ingrained with the club for years would be impolite.
Thompson winning the Carabao Cup Final with Newcastle as part of a team that could kickstart their burgeoning dynasty by defeating Manchester United would be a sight to behold.
