18yo academy star makes debut: Amorim could unleash four Man Utd teenagers vs Bournemouth today

Manchester United are set to travel to the Vitality Stadium to face Bournemouth in the Premier League today.

With one eye firmly on their crucial midweek Europa League clash against Athletic Bilbao, head coach Ruben Amorim could gamble by starting four teenagers.

Rasmus Hojlund and Alejandro Garnacho are the only two senior forwards available to Amorim.

Chido Obi could earn his first senior start tomorrow, allowing Hojlund to get some rest ahead of the key encounter.

The 17-year-old is a prodigious talent, widely regarded as one of the most exciting forward prospects of his generation.

While it may feel slightly early for him to spearhead the attack of a global giant like United, opportunities like these are the stuff young dreams are made of.

Harry Amass could be handed another start after impressing in last week’s narrow 1-0 defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers.

An untimely injury to Diogo Dalot could force Amorim’s hand to field Patrick Dorgu, although risking the January arrival just days before facing Bilbao would not be a wise bet.

Academy starlet Jaydan Kamason could start in the right wing-back spot, earning his debut after making fantastic contributions at the youth level this campaign.

The 18-year-old is an attacking full-back by trade and could play with freedom in a 3-4-3 system.

Leny Yoro could step in for Noussair Mazraoui in right centre-back position to ease the burden on the Moroccan star.

Dalot’s injury has only amplified Mazraoui’s importance to the side, making it essential for Amorim to manage his minutes wisely.

Yoro could start the match and be substituted in the second half if needed, keeping him fresh for the mid-week game.

While today’s result would not drastically alter United’s season, carrying winning momentum into their European campaign could prove absolutely vital.
