With injuries plaguing the first team, coach Erik ten Hag has trusted academy players such as Dan Gore, Omari Forson, Willy Kambwala, and Ethan Wheatley by giving them their debuts.
Youth Leading the Way at United
More opportunities are on the horizon for young talents like Harry Amass, Habeeb Ogunneye, and Shea Lacey, who are eager to make their mark in the first team.
Amidst the new ownership of INEOS, Manchester United is poised to prioritize youth recruitment. According to ESPN, West Ham United’s Daniel Rigge is a key target for the club, although competition from Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur looms.
Rigge, an 18-year-old attacking midfielder, has been impressive with 11 goals and six assists for West Ham’s U18 team, showcasing his potential at a young age.
