The article discusses the dilemma teams face when performing poorly, particularly at Manchester United, where the call to 'pick the kids' may not always be wise. It cites examples like Mikel Arteta at Arsenal, who successfully used young talents such as Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe to turn his team around. Currently, Ruben Amorim is considering similar moves with young players like Chido Obi-Martin at United, who has shown potential and could inject much-needed energy into the team amid a disappointing season. The narrative emphasizes the balance between risk and opportunity in player promotion.
"Sometimes it works: Mikel Arteta promoted Bukayo Saka and Emile Smith Rowe, leading to substantial improvement at Arsenal during tough times. Now Ruben Amorim must make a similar call with young players."
"Over the past week, Chido Obi-Martin demonstrated dangerous play and good form, outshining Rasmus Hjlund, urging United to experiment before finishing the season."
