🙀WHAT IS AMORIM COOKING🙀A HUGE CALL 🔥🔥🏟️ The lad has never been included in the first-team squad before. Most supporters have never even heard of him. 🗣️”Who can this player be !!!!?????” The 16-year-old made an impression during Amorim’s first official week in charge.
After weeks of anticipation, Ruben Amorim is preparing to lead Manchester United for the first time as head coach in a match against Ipswich Town on Sunday afternoon at Portman Road. The 39-year-old, widely regarded as one of the brightest managerial talents in football, has only conducted a handful of training sessions at Carrington but has already identified key players who stand out.
One such standout is 16-year-old Godwill Kukonki, a towering 6ft 5in defender celebrated for his versatility. Renowned sources, including Fabrizio Romano and AcademyScoop, have confirmed Kukonki’s inclusion in Amorim’s debut matchday squad.
Kukonki, who has been with Manchester United since the age of five, had his first taste of senior team action earlier this week. Coaches have been impressed by his combination of physical dominance and technical skill. The Manchester Evening News has likened him to Manchester City’s Josko Gvardiol, praising his imposing presence. Although primarily a center-back, Kukonki’s ability to adapt as a left-back and his strong left foot make him a potential alternative to Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite.
Additionally, Amorim has been pleased with Mason Mount’s performance during recent training sessions. Speaking to the club’s media team, Amorim commended Mount’s determination and resilience in overcoming injury setbacks.
The manager highlighted Mount’s compatibility with United’s system, noting that he has envisioned two specific roles for the midfielder. Amorim’s positive outlook suggests Mount could play a pivotal role in the team’s future under his lead
ership.
