So Manchester United are really going all in on winning the Europa League to save their season, huh? But hold up, while they’re focused on that, they’re also chatting about pre-season and which young guns from the academy will get to join the squad for the tour in the States. It’s a whole thing. Before they jet off to the US, they’ve got a match against Leeds in Stockholm, then it’s off to play West Ham, Bournemouth, and West Ham again in the Premier League Summer Series. Sounds like a fun summer vacay for the lads.
The Leeds game is gonna be a big deal for a bunch of academy players trying to make an impression. Only a few will get the golden ticket to the US to hang out with the first-team squad during the friendlies. So who are these potential future stars catching the eye of the big boss, Amorim? Let’s take a look at 20 of them.
First up, we’ve got Jaydan Kamason, who’s been killing it for the Under-18s this season. He even got a taste of senior training at Carrington and was on the bench for a couple of games against Lyon. Looks like he’s on the right track to big things.
Then there’s Harry Amass, who made his debut against Leicester and his first start against Newcastle. He’s been looking solid, and there’s talk of him sticking around in the senior squad next season.
Chido Obi is another one to watch, with his impressive goal-scoring record in academy games. Amorim has been giving him some game time, and he’s set to shine in pre-season. Keep an eye on this kid.
Elyh Harrison is being touted as the next big thing in goalkeeping since Dean Henderson. His loan spell at Chester went well, and he’s looking like a solid choice for the future.
Ethan Ennis was smashing it with the Under-21s before heading off to Doncaster on loan. He’s a versatile player who’s only getting better with time.
Tyler Fredricson made his debut against Wolves and showed some promise before getting sidelined with an injury. Now he’s back and ready to make up for lost time.
Godwill Kukonki might be young, but he’s already getting a taste of the senior action. A left-footed centre-back, he’s got the skills to shine in Amorim’s system.
Jack Moorhouse has been dealing with injuries, but he’s back in action and looking sharp. He’s a strong contender for one of the No.10 roles in the squad.
