Manchester United have a handful of talented academy players who will be aiming to break into Ruben Amorim\u2019s first team next season.<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the reasons Ineos hired Ruben Amorim<\/a> as head coach in November was because of his great record with young players.<\/p>\n

Amorim handed out 27 debuts as Sporting Lisbon<\/a> boss, and he has wasted no time dipping into Manchester United\u2019s<\/a> rich pool of academy talents this season.<\/p>\n

Chido Obi made his first start against Brentford<\/a> after joining from Arsenal in the summer. Harry Amass, Toby Collyer and Tyler Fredricson have also become regulars in the first team.<\/p>\n

Looking to follow in their footsteps is Sekou Kone<\/a>, who was poached by Ineos in the summer, and fellow midfielder Jack Moorhouse<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With Christian Eriksen set to leave in the summer<\/a>, United will need to reinforce their midfield next season \u2013 whether that be from the academy or from a new signing.<\/p>\n

Reports claim United want Jobe Bellingham and Chris Rigg<\/a> to join in the summer, but there are two extremely talented midfielders hoping to break through next season in Kone and Moorhouse.<\/p>\n

However, according to the Daily Mail<\/a>, there have been indications from United that both Kone and Moorhouse will be sent on loan next season.<\/p>\n

A loan move to Europe is on the cards for Kone, while League One and League Two teams are \u201cdesperate\u201d to take Moorhouse next season.<\/p>\n

Both Kone and Moorhouse will hope to be a part of United\u2019s 2025 post-season tour<\/a> once the season comes to a close, and there they will have a chance to impress Amorim.<\/p>\n

Jack Moorhouse is Man United\u2019s Paul Pogba 2.0<\/p>\n

While it seems Moorhouse and Kone are not quite ready for Amorim\u2019s first team, they are both extremely highly-rated at Carrington and have bright futures at the club.<\/p>\n

Moorhouse has been compared to Paul Pogba<\/a> because of his qualities and athleticism in midfield.<\/p>\n

Amorim\u2019s 3-4-2-1 system relies on hard-working midfielders and both Moorhouse and Kone are ideal profiles for the Portuguese head coach.<\/p>\n

Kone and Moorhouse already have squad numbers<\/a> after being included in the matchday squad against Tottenham back in February.<\/p>\n

Kone is constantly improving<\/a> in training, and clearly coaches feel a loan move will help to unlock his full potential.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester United have a handful of talented academy players who will be aiming to break into Ruben Amorim\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":87342,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8813],"tags":[748,393,4884,20557,2465,2942,27440,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-87341","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-manchester","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-jack-moorhouse","12":"tag-manchester","13":"tag-paul-pogba","14":"tag-sekou-kone","15":"tag-uk","16":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114477880702108672","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87341","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=87341"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/87341\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/87342"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=87341"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=87341"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=87341"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
