Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim has made four changes to the starting XI for today’s Premier League clash against Tottenham Hotspur (16:30 GMT).
Alejandro Garnacho earns a start after his impressive performance off the bench against Leicester City in the Emirates FA Cup. In midfield, Casemiro comes in for the injured Kobbie Mainoo.
Amad is sidelined with an ankle injury, meaning Joshua Zirkzee partners Rasmus Hojlund in attack. Meanwhile, Matthijs de Ligt returns to the defense, replacing Leny Yoro, who is unavailable due to illness.
The substitutes’ bench features an exciting mix of talent, including six Academy graduates. Chido Obi, fresh from his FA Youth Cup hat-trick against Chelsea, is named in a matchday squad for the first time. He is joined by fellow youngsters Elyh Harrison, Harry Amass, Tyler Fredricson, Jack Fletcher, and Jack Moorhouse.
January signing Ayden Heaven and midfielder Sekou Kone are also among the substitutes, alongside the experienced Victor Lindelof.
If any of the Academy graduates feature at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, they will become the club’s 252nd youth product to make a senior appearance, following Toby Collyer’s debut in the Charity Shield last August.
Christian Eriksen and Manuel Ugarte are unavailable due to illness and injury, respectively.
