Amorim could release Man Utd teenager who is better than Obi-Martin

Ruben AmorimThe appointment of has injected a new sense of enthusiasm into the Manchester United fanbase after years of discontent under the previous management team.

Erik Ten Hag was unable to extract from the team what he wanted, despite spend more than £600 million on new transfers during his time at Old Trafford.

Many of his additions have failed to impress, with Casemiro, 32, now looking well beyond the level required for a top player. Premier League talent – which is worthless at all £70 million they shelled out for his signing in 2022.

The Brazilian is just one of a number of additions who have failed to reach the required standard, costing the club fortunes and leading to the current cost-cutting operation underway at the Theater of Dreams.

However, the 39-year-old's appointment has breathed new life into many of the first-team squad, giving them the opportunity to showcase their talents and stake their claim for a starting place.

Players who benefited from Amorim's appointment

Noussair Mazraoui joins the Red Devils in £12.8m deal for German side Bayern Munich over the summer, which is so far just the only success among Ten Hag's latest additions.

The Moroccan has played a variety of roles since his arrival, including full-back as well as the number 10 role in the Europa League clash with Fenerbahçe.

However, Amorim's appointment saw him move into a right centre-back role, a position which allowed him to flourish.

The 27-year-old has started every game since the new manager's arrival, a sign of his confidence in the defender – with arguably his best performance coming in the Bodo/Glimt clash last Thursday.

Amad Diallo is another player currently in the form of his life at Old Trafford, also switching positions to a right-back role rather than his usual attacking spot he has featured in since his 2021 move.

However, it's a masterstroke from the 39-year-old, record three assists in his first two Premier League starts during his tenure, with the Ivorian's relentless pressing making him the ideal fit for the manager's 3-4-2-1 system.

The former Atalanta starlet has all the tools to be a true success and continue his upward trajectory for many years to come, hoping to play a vital role in the club's potential return to league glory under management from the former boss of Sporting CP.

Amorim can also utilize the incredible youth system in place at Manchester, allowing him to unleash multiple talents who are more than capable of following in the footsteps of the aforementioned talents and becoming a hit with the supporters.

The United teenager who could become the next Amad

United are fortunate to have many impressive youngsters within the Carrington training base, with the hierarchy keeping an eye on the future given their investment in recent times.

Striker Chido Obi Martin arrived from Arsenal over the summer, with the 17-year-old sparking excitement among fans given his goalscoring exploits.

The teenager broke the record for Most goals in U18 Premier League last weekend, scoring five in his first five since moving from north London to the North West.

Such a form has already seen Obi Martin awarded a professional contract on his 17th birthday, but there is another youth talent who could have a huge role to play in the first team in the near future.

Winger Shea Lacey has impressed in recent months, playing a vital role in the club's U18 Premier League success.

The Red Devils youngsters have won their first ten matches so far, cashing in only four times and with a whopping score of 46 – the best record in every category in the division.

The 17-year-old has struggled with injuries of late, which has limited him only three appearancesbut when he played, he demonstrated his elite-level quality.

Lacey, who was nicknamed “exceptional» by analyst Ben Mattinson, produced a magical moment against Tottenham Hotspur a few months ago, demonstrating his excellent dribbling and ball-carrying ability.

He is since then, “so many comparisons” to Manchester City's Phil Foden, according to Mattinson, for his ability to drift inside onto his left foot, demonstrating a quality well beyond his young age.

Such a skillset could see him become Amorim's next Diallo, capable of operating in an offensive zone, or even slightly deeper as a winger, with his intelligence at youth level making him a perfect candidate for the new role put in place by the boss.

He will certainly need time to make an impact at Old Trafford, but his abilities have given supporters a reason to be excited – and who can blame them?

Given the current crop of talent emerging across the club, it's certainly an exciting time to be a United supporter, with the manager having all the tools at his disposal to potentially end their decade-long wait for a triumph in the championship if he correctly uses the options available to him. .
