Ruben Amorim explains his team selection
Speaking ahead of kick-off, Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim explained his team selection for the post-season match and why the teenage duo had been handed their first starts.
"To see these young kids, we need to put them next to the more experienced players, so we try to balance everything," he told MUTV.
