Ruben Amorim has taken steps to rejuvenate Manchester United by integrating four academy players into the senior team’s training sessions. The 39-year-old manager has struggled to make a significant impact early in his tenure, with just four victories in 12 matches and a current four-game winless run. However, a spirited 2-2 draw against Liverpool at Anfield offered signs of progress.

Ahead of a challenging FA Cup third-round clash against Arsenal, Amorim has brought in academy talents Jack Moorhouse, Tyler Fredricson, Godwill Kukonki, and Elyh Harrison to train at Carrington. This move aims to infuse the squad with fresh energy and enthusiasm.

Elyh Harrison, an 18-year-old goalkeeper, has returned from a loan spell at National League North side Chester and is now training with first-team goalkeepers Andre Onana, Altay Bayindir, and Tom Heaton. His integration is part of United’s plan to enhance goalkeeping depth.

Jack Moorhouse, a 19-year-old central midfielder from Manchester, has been a standout for the under-21s this season and was nominated 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 under Amorim. Kukonki has been on the bench for recent matches, while Fredricson has captained the under-21s.

One notable absence from training was Marcus Rashford, who missed the Liverpool match due to illness and is still recovering. There are also reports regarding his future at the club, as discussions about a potential loan move to AC Milan have taken place. United would prefer to sell Rashford, but his high wages and valuation of £40 million may complicate any transfer.

As Amorim navigates these adjustments, he hopes that integrating younger talent will provide the team with the spark needed to turn their season around.
