Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim is making wholesale changes to his starting lineup against Brentford, as a trio of promising youngsters could make their debuts.

Aside from pride, the Red Devils have little to play for in the remaining Premier League fixtures, as they currently lie in the bottom half of the table with no hopes of reaching the European zone.

Therefore, MUFC are putting all their eggs in the Europa League basket, as winning the competition would secure them a spot in next season’s edition of the Champions League, in addition to gaining some silverware at the end of a miserable campaign.

United already have one foot in the final after beating Athletic Club in the first leg in Bilbao by three unanswered goals, but they still have a second leg to negotiate at Old Trafford.

Hence, Amorim revealed in his press conference ahead of Brentford’s clash that he’ll be looking to rest any key player who could be at risk of picking up an injury over the weekend.

Therefore, Fantasy Football Scout tips three Man United teenagers to make their full debuts, beginning with Chido Obi-Martin who could lead the line instead of Rasmus Hojlund, while Kobbie Mainoo and Mason Mount operate as attacking midfielders.

The 17-year-old has already impressed in his five cameos off the bench, but this would be his first appearance as a starter.

Kamason & Kone to make senior debuts?

On the other hand, Jaydan Kamason and Sekou Kone have yet to appear for the first team, so this would be their senior debuts.

Right wingback Kamason would replace Noussair Mazraoui who will be rested, while Kone would give Casemiro a breather, starting in midfield alongside Christian Eriksen.

Harry Amass should get the nod on the left side once more, while Matthijs de Ligt, Victor Lindelof and Luke Shaw could form up the backline in front of Andre Onana.

Man United predicted XI (3-4-2-1): Onana; De Ligt, Lindelof, Shaw; Kamason, Kone, Eriksen, Amass; Mount, Mainoo; Obi-Martin.

  1. Maybe Fredrickson could get a start in defense . It would be great if Jack Moorhouse got a run on . Good to see young players given a chance

  2. More rubbish about Garnacho you don’t sell him to a Premier League rival who finishes higher than you like Chelsea who are 23 points better of than us at the moment in 5th and probably qualifying for EUROPE
