8 Man Utd rising stars who could be promoted to the first team in the Ruben Amorim era
- Ruben Amorim will officially start his first-team role against Ipswich on Sunday, November 24.
- Amorim called up several players from the academy to join the first-team training session for his first training session.
The arrival of Ruben Amorim as the new manager of Manchester United. In addition to changing the game plan, he is also known for giving opportunities to young players to play.
With several senior players absent due to international commitments, Amorim called up several players from the academy to join the first-team training session for his first training session.
We have seen rising stars like Godwill Kukonki, Jim Thwaites and Finley McAllister emerge.
That’s why we think there are more young stars waiting to make the step up to the first ยูฟ่าเบท team. Which may happen sooner than expected, such as the following 8.
16-year-old defender Kukonki trained with the first-team on Monday. Giving Amorim his first chance to see what he can do. The left-footed centre-back is one of the most promising prospects in the club’s academy.
With his tall body and high skills with the ball, as well as being able to play left back. He is an interesting option, especially now that the team is facing problems with defensive injuries.
Thwaites, also 16, has made a name for himself as a skilled free-kick taker in midfield. After scoring from set-pieces against Nottingham Forest and Everton, taking his tally to four goals and two assists in nine appearances for the Under-18s this season.
Thwaites, who is a key member of the Manchester United academy and turns 17 next month, is one to watch and has already made two appearances for the 21s.
Jack Fletcher
Fletcher, 17, has been making steady progress and has already been named in four senior games, although he is yet to make his debut. Although calls up by Erik ten Hag and Ruud van Nistelrooy indicate the potential he has.
Darren Fletcher’s son is already a regular for the Under-21s and has also featured in the EFL Trophy this season, but has only been training with the first-team since November last year. Kone was one of the players brought in last summer for £1million. But has been unlucky since picking up an injury in the Under-21s’ 4-1 defeat to Huddersfield Town in the EFL Trophy last week.
Manchester United‘s staff believe the Malian midfielder has the potential to be promoted to the first-team. The 18-year-old has the skills that modern midfielders need in terms of tackling and driving forward. He also has excellent technique.
Bendito Mantato
According to the Manchester Evening News, Mantato is a player who could be promoted to the Amorim first-team in the near future.
The 16-year-old is a former full-back and has been in fine form this season. Scoring six goals in eight appearances for the U18s.
Mantato is a left-footed player but is primarily on the right. He is fast, has excellent dribbling skills and has a keen eye for goal.
Lacey is highly regarded in the academy and after struggling with injuries over the past 12 months. The 17-year-old winger is hoping to continue playing regularly to show his potential.
He recently signed his first professional contract and if he stays fit and has a good season like he has, Lacey will be one to watch over the next 12 months.
Gabriel Biancheri
Few players in the Manchester United academy have attracted as much attention as Biancheri this season. The former Cardiff City youngster has been in red-hot form, scoring 16 goals in 14 appearances in all competitions this term.
The Welshman, who excels in scoring goals inside the box, is one of the most promising youngsters to watch and if his goalscoring form continues, fans will be eager to see Biancheri break into the first-team soon to help quell his attacking problems.
Shido Obi-Martin
This one is a no-brainer. The former Arsenal wonderkid is one of the most talked about players in the Manchester United academy at the moment. He signed in the summer but has had to wait a while for the Premier League to approve the move.
On the pitch, the 17-year-old didn’t disappoint, taking just 14 minutes to net a hat-trick in United’s 6-0 win over Nottingham Forest last month, and has since added one goal and one assist.
With senior strikers Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee struggling, we may not see Obi-Martin in the first team for long.
