Amorim: Youngsters need to be prepared to play against Leeds

Manchester United travel to Leeds with the home team likely fancying their chances of getting a result against us, given how much we have struggled over the past couple of months.

Having picked up a total of three points in home games against the 10 men of Everton, West Ham, Bournemouth and Wolves, we’ll have to hope that we pick up some form on the road ahead of our trip to Elland Road.

With players still missing due to AFCON and our injury list causing us problems, Ruben Amorim has told the press that he doesn’t expect any players to return to fitness in time for Sunday and that the Academy lads will have to be ready to play.

We’re going [with] no issues. We are going to see tomorrow as we have one more training [session]. I don’t think so that anyone is going to recover, but we will see.

We look to everything, but they need to be prepared. You can see the squad, it is impossible and we cannot stretch the players that we don’t have at the moment. I will try to put together a team that is ready to cope with that. I will try to read the game and try to understand what I should do to help them.

It’s a game in a hostile environment, but they need to be ready. They need to experience that, but it’s going to be hard for any player, even the guys with a lot of experience. But again, we already experienced that. At Bilbao last year, with the sound, so I know that that feeling is completely different. But they need to be ready.
