Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has handed four academy players promotion to his first-team squad in a bid to shake up training sessions amid a challenging start to his tenure.
The 39 year-old Portuguese gaffer, who arrived from Sporting CP last November, has only managed four wins from his first 12 games and is currently on a four-match winless run.
Amorim has now turned to the club’s youth ranks and brought in Jack Moorhouse, Tyler Fredricson, Godwill Kukonki and Elyh Harrison to train with the first team at Carrington.
Elyh Harrison, an 18-year-old goalkeeper, was recently recalled from his loan spell at National League North side, Chester, and has been thrust into training alongside Andre Onana, Altay Bayindir and Tom Heaton.
Manchester-born 19-year-old Jack midfielder Moorhouse, who has been impressing in the under-21s side this season, will be keen to catch Amorim’s eye.
Meanwhile, 16-year-old Godwill Kukonki and 19-year-old Tyler Fredricson, both defenders, have previously caught Amorim’s attention. Kukonki, considered the next big thing from the club’s academy, has been on the bench for matches against Arsenal and Newcastle. Fredricson, on the other hand, has captained the under-21s.
