Manchester United are gearing up for a blockbuster Premier League clash against arch-rivals Liverpool at Anfield this Sunday.
The Red Devils hit the training ground today after the conclusion of the October international break.
According to journalist Nathan Salt, eight United academy youngsters trained with the first team.
The talented youngsters included Jacob Devaney, Tyler Fletcher, Shea Lacey, Bendito Mantato, Sam Mather, Reece Munro, Chido Obi, and Jim Thwaites.
Chido Obi stands out as the only player who has already made his senior debut for the club.
The 17-year-old forward featured eight times under Amorim last season, but he is yet to make an appearance in the matchday squad this term.
He has played six Premier League 2 games this term and bagged three goals.
Obi is only 17 and has time on his side.
However, United may soon need to offer him a permanent first-team role to avoid losing him to rival suitors next summer.
The 18-year-old Shea Lacey continues to turn heads at Carrington.
The highly technical right winger has dazzled coaches with his creativity and dribbling flair.
It will be a surprise if he is not given his senior debut before the end of the campaign.
Jacob Devaney, Tyler Fletcher, and Jim Thwaites have been the midfield heartbeat of the academy setup this season.
Bendito Mantato is a right winger but has recently played at left-back.
With his quick feet and willingness to bomb up and down the flank, Mantato looks tailor-made for a wing-back role in Amorim’s 3-4-2-1 system.
Given the magnitude and intensity of the upcoming Anfield clash, Amorim is unlikely to hand debuts to any of the youngsters just yet.
Fans will still be eager to see if any of these bright prospects earn a place on the bench for the Liverpool showdown.
