Manchester United incoming manager Ruben Amorim broke down in tears after Trio player who was supposed to be the main man against PAOK in the Europa league today has been injured in training this morning. He will be out for Two weeks the Injury is not too serious
Manchester United has decided not to include Harry Amass, Jack Fletcher, or Ethan Wheatley in the squad for Thursday night’s Europa League game against PAOK at Old Trafford. The three players were absent from Wednesday morning’s open training at Carrington, fueling speculation about their roles in the upcoming match. United later confirmed that these players would be competing in the UEFA Youth League instead, where they are set to play in the Under-19 team’s match against FK Zalgiris.
This Youth League match marks the second leg of their tie against the Lithuanian team, after United’s Under-19s claimed a strong 5-2 win in the first leg last month. For the return match at Leigh Sports Village, both Amass and Wheatley have been added to the lineup, demonstrating the club’s focus on fostering young talent through international competition, while the main squad concentrates on the Europa League.
Recently, Amass and Wheatley have been included in the senior team’s lineup as substitutes, such as in the last Europa League game against Fenerbahce, and along with Fletcher, they have frequently appeared on the bench in recent games. In Premier League matches against Chelsea and Leicester City, Jayce Fitzgerald also joined them, further emphasizing the club’s dedication to developing young players.
Despite their increasing presence around the senior team, Amass, Fletcher, and Wheatley did not join the 25-man squad for Wednesday’s training session at Carrington. Only two youth players, Daniel Armer and Jack Kingdon, were seen participating, suggesting that Amass, Fletcher, and Wheatley are instead focused on the Youth League game.
In tonight’s Youth League match, Amass is likely to start at left-back, providing him a platform to showcase his defensive skills as United aims to advance further in the tournament. Wheatley will play in an attack-oriented lineup featuring talents like Gabriele Biancheri, Bendito Mantato, and Victor Musa, which looks promising given United’s solid advantage from the first leg.
Additionally, Sekou Kone, one of United’s recent summer signings, could make his European debut for the youth team in this game. Kone, who recently appeared for the Under-21s against Sunderland, could give fans a glimpse of his potential within the youth system.
On the other hand, Chido Obi-Martin, another recent youth addition, will be absent from tonight’s lineup. His absence, potentially due to tactical or fitness reasons, shifts attention to players like Kone, Amass, and Wheatley, who will be eager to make an impact as United’s Under-19 team looks to progress in the c
