Manchester United’s Young Gem Set For Promotion Under Ruben Amorim

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim is expected to take more interest in the academy than former boss Erik ten Hag, according to Manchester Evening News.

The Red Devils parted ways with Ten Hag earlier last month following a run of four wins from 14 matches. Ruud van Nistelrooy was placed on temporary charge for four games before the international break.

Amorim will take control as the permanent manager once his working visa is approved, but he has already made contact with some of the players at the Carrington training centre.

It is now reported by Manchester Evening News that some academy staff felt Ten Hag could have taken more of an interest in the academy which is Amorim is expected to do.

Players like Kobbie Mainoo, Willy Kambwala, Tobby Collyer and Alejandro Garnacho made their breakthrough under Ten Hag. Both Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo have become key figures for the senior team.

Manchester United Youngster of Interest to Ruben Amorim

Under Amorim, things could be different. At Sporting CP, Goncalo Inacio made his first-team bow at just 19. Ousmane Diomande also became a mainstay after joining as a teenager.

Geovany Quenda was likewise handed the chance to excel from right wing-back this season. The 17-year-old’s performances have already attracted plenty of high-profile interest.

Amorim could follow a similar policy at United. 16-year-old Bendito Mantato could be one to watch out for. The youngster started off as a left-back, but he has become a regular right winger.

Bendito has seven goal contributions for the Under 18s this season and he’s viewed as a bright prospect that can develop into special under Amorim’s reins.
