Amorim Turns to Youth for Europa League Push

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim has confirmed he will increase Premier League minutes for academy talents, including Harry Amass, Ayden Heaven, Chido Obi, Jack Moorhouse, and Godwill Kukonki, as the club shifts focus to winning the Europa League. United's only chance for Champions League qualification now lies in European success after a disappointing domestic campaign. Amorim highlighted that, despite instability and a lack of a strong base, injuries and limited squad options require taking risks on youth players. He acknowledged both the potential rewards and the risks of this strategy, noting the approach is popular with some fans but could impact player development and team results. The Europa League semi-final against Athletic Bilbao looms as the club's main priority. As a result, Premier League outcomes may be deprioritized during this demanding stretch.
