Ruben Amorim to select four Manchester United starlets vs Everton after missing U21s game vs Chelsea

Ruben Amorim is set to included four Manchester United starlets in his squad to face Everton on the weekend.

Manchester United will be aiming to get back on track after suffering defeat against Spurs, with a clash against Everton in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon up next.

Ruben Amorim’s side has seen themselves slip to 15th in the table after their loss in North London, which has increased the pressure on the team.

United will be eager to replicate their commanding 4-0 victory over Everton in November, when Joshua Zirkzee and Marcus Rashford each scored twice in what remains Amorim’s most dominant win to date.

However, since that encounter, former United manager David Moyes has taken charge at Goodison Park, leading Everton to an improvement in form and lifting them to 14th place—one point ahead of United after 25 games.

United youth players involved vs Spurs

Last time out, Amorim was forced to include seven Academy players in his squad to face Spurs due to injury and illness in the United camp.

In fact, the Reds only had 12 first-team players available for the game, with Victor Lindelöf being the only player on the bench who had played Premier League football.

New signing Ayden Heaven was also named amongst the substitutes alongside Elyh Harrison, Tyler Fredricson, Harry Amass, Sekou Kone, Jack Fletcher, Jack Moorhouse and Chido Obi.

Obi was the only substitution made during the game, coming on for his first-team debut in the 90th minute in what he described as a dream moment despite the result.

Since then, several United players have returned from injury and illness, with Amorim confirming that Manuel Ugarte, Christian Eriksen and Leny Yoro will be available to face Everton.

Four United starlets to be involved vs Everton

Despite some players returning, it seems like several of the youngsters will remain with the first-team for their final trip to Goodison Park.

United’s Under-21s squad play Chelsea on Friday night in London, meaning that anyone involved is very unlikely to be playing for the first-team in Merseyside for the Saturday 12:30 (UK time) kick-off.

Of those who were included in the squad at Spurs, four were not involved for the youth clash on Friday. Fredricson, Amass, Moorhouse and Fletcher started the game for Travis Binnion’s side.

Meanwhile, Harrison, Heaven, Kone and Obi were not involved, which strongly suggests that they will be with the first-team squad on the weekend.

Heaven made his debut for the club’s Under-21s side earlier this week but is considered a first-team player. He is still awaiting his first appearance for Amorim’s team.

Meanwhile, reports have suggested that Kone could be set to make his debut for the first-team before the end of the season, with the midfield player impressing since his summer arrival.

Obi made his debut at Spurs but will be hoping that he can get more than three minutes on the pitch this weekend. The 17-year-old striker has five months to become the club’s youngest-scorer in Premier League history.
