Manchester United travel to Everton this Saturday lunchtime for their next Premier League assignment and with Ruben Amorim’s squad running thin, he is going to have to call on all the youthful help he can get.. Or at least that is how it would seem, based on the very latest hint from the club themselves. First of all, Amorim announced Man United would have Manuel Ugarte, Leny Yoro and Christian Eriksen back fit again but Amad, Lisandro Martinez, Kobbie Mainoo, Luke Shaw and Mason Mount are all long-term absentees.. So, the manager commented: “We have young players and we’re working with them and we have to really focus on that as a club..

We need to focus in future on youth because of the history of our club and the reality of our situation.”. Now it looks very possible a trio of the academy’s finest could be named as part of the Man United squad at Goodison Park later today.. With the club’s Under-21s facing Chelsea on Friday night, it was clear to all that striker Chido Obi, defensive midfielder Sekou Kone and goalkeeper Elyh Harrison were not included in that squad. Travis Binnion’s side would go on to lose 2-0.. Perhaps the reason they missed out will be because the trio are set to join the senior team on Saturday.. Obi’s switch from Arsenal’s academy last summer brought with it great excitement and although playing the majority of his minutes for the youth teams since, has always maintained a presence in first-team training..

The 17-year-old earned a first call-up last weekend following Amad’s injury and made a debut Premier League appearance as a substitute in the final minute of the defeat at Tottenham Hotspur.. Following his January recall from a successful loan at Chester, Harrison has been on Amorim’s bench the past two weekends and last week he was joined by Kone. Neither were called upon, though there remains a chance that could change against Everton.
