United.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unitedinfocus.com\/match-coverage\/five-things-learned-as-manchester-united-draw-2-2-against-lyon\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">United drew 2-2 with

with such a huge game to come at Old Trafford on Thursday night.<\/p>\n<p><a

Onana has been left out of the United squad<\/a> and won\u2019t even be on the bench at St. James\u2019 Park.<\/p>\n<p>Altay Bayindir will come in for United, but Amorim may not be done there as he plots other changes.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"653\"

target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">The Daily Mail<\/a> now claim that teenage left back <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unitedinfocus.com\/tag\/harry-amass\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Harry Amass<\/a> is in line for a first Premier League start.<\/p>\n<p>18-year-old <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unitedinfocus.com\/match-coverage\/man-utd-fans-have-lot-to-say-about-harry-amass-after-performance-vs-leicester-city-no-hesitation-claim-is-perfect\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amass made his Premier League debut<\/a> against Leicester City in March, coming off the bench in a 3-0 win.<\/p>\n<p>Amass is now in line to start a first Premier League game as part of Amorim\u2019s changes.<\/p>\n<p>Amass would likely come in for Patrick Dorgu as United\u2019s left wing back, allowing the Dane to rest up ahead of facing Lyon on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>Dorgu has played a key role since joining from Lecce in January, and Amorim will want him fresh against Lyon.<\/p>\n<p>Amass has shown potential in the United ranks since arriving from Watford back in 2023 and could now come up against in-form Newcastle winger Jacob Murphy.<\/p>\n<p>The teenager attracted loan interest in January, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unitedinfocus.com\/transfer-news\/man-united-make-harry-amass-decision-on-deadline-day-ineos-complete-u-turn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">United chose to keep Amass<\/a> around Amorim\u2019s first team.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More United youngsters could feature against Newcastle<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bayindir and Amass represent major changes to the United lineup ahead of facing Newcastle.<\/p>\n<p>This will be a Premier League debut for both players, with Amorim placing real faith in the duo.<\/p>\n<p>Amorim may be tempted to give chances to other players, too, and the bench against Lyon could offer some clues.<\/p>\n<p>Bayindir and Amass were both substitutes, alongside youngsters Jack Moorhouse, Jaydan Kamason and Godwill Kukonki.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unitedinfocus.com\/academy\/ruben-amorim-may-give-exciting-man-utd-teenager-his-first-team-debut-as-loan-enquiries-already-arrive\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Moorhouse has impressed Amorim<\/a> and is allegedly expected to land a first-team debut before the end of the season.<\/p>\n<p>All of those prospects are unlikely to start together, but we could see them off the bench at St. James\u2019 Park.<\/p>\n<p>Chido Obi will also be in contention with Amorim seemingly prioritising the Europa League over the Premier League based on the early indications of his lineup against Newcastle.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ruben Amorim appears ready to ring the changes as Manchester United prepare to face Newcastle United on
