Revealed: Erik Ten Hag Big Plans For Three Manchester United Academy Stars
Manchester United’s injury curse has returned aggressively and it is set to impact Erik ten Hag’s team selection moving forward.
Luke Shaw’s injury means there is no specialist left-back at the club and the manager needs to trust academy starlet Harry Amass in place of Victor Lindelof and Sofyan Amrabat.
An even bigger headache that the Dutchman has to solve now is to settle on an attacking triumvirate now that Rasmus Hojlund is set for a spell on the sidelines for the next few weeks.
The Dane, who has been on fire recently, needs to be replaced but with Marcus Rashford struggling upfront, and Anthony Martial sidelined for three months, the manager needs to take a major gamble.
Omari Forson set to be handed his first Premier League start against Fulham tomorrow afternoon as a result of manutd’s ongoing injury crisis.
Erik ten Hag is known to be a big fan of Omari Forson and has been talking about starting him for a period of time.
Harry Amass is another potential option to start for Manchester United at left-back with Luke Shaw ruled out for the rest of the season and Tyrell Malacia still unfit to return to the squad.
Now, the young left-back has been pictured in senior training after the Shaw injury news. This is not the first time Amass has been invited to work out with the senior squad, so this doesn’t necessarily point to the 16-year-old playing meaningful minutes. However, it’s certainly a possibility.
