Ruben Amorim has brought four academy players into Manchester United’s training sessions in an effort to rejuvenate the team’s performance. The 39-year-old manager has faced difficulties in his early days, achieving only four wins in 12 matches and currently experiencing a four-match winless streak. Nevertheless, a recent 2-2 draw against Liverpool at Anfield indicated some signs of progress.

As United gears up for a challenging FA Cup third-round clash against Arsenal, Amorim has invited young talents Jack Moorhouse, Tyler Fredricson, Godwill Kukonki, and Elyh Harrison to train at Carrington. This move aims to infuse the squad with new energy.

Elyh Harrison, an 18-year-old goalkeeper, has returned from his loan at National League North club Chester and is now training alongside first-team goalkeepers Andre Onana, Altay Bayindir, and Tom Heaton. His inclusion is part of United’s strategy to strengthen their goalkeeping depth.

Jack Moorhouse, a 19-year-old central midfielder from Manchester, has excelled for the under-21s this season and received a nomination for the Premier League 2 Player of the Month award for December.

Godwill Kukonki, 16, and Tyler Fredricson, 19, are both defenders who have previously trained with Amorim. Kukonki has recently been on the bench for several matches, while Fredricson has served as captain of the under-21s.

A notable absence from training was Marcus Rashford, who missed the match against Liverpool due to illness and is still in recovery. Additionally, there are reports concerning his future at the club, with discussions about a potential loan move to AC Milan having taken place. While United would prefer to sell Rashford, his high wages and a valuation of £40 million could complicate any transfer.

As Amorim navigates these changes, he hopes that bringing in younger talent will provide the team with the spark necessary to turn their season around.
