In a recent match against Tottenham, Manchester United faced a significant injury crisis, fielding a bench of primarily teenagers, including 17-year-old Chido Obi-Martin, who made his senior debut without touching the ball. With 12 players unavailable, the situation highlights the severity of United’s struggles, making Amorim's decision to introduce a young striker counterproductive. The match depicted a forlorn moment for a club rich in history but now showcasing a stark transition with an inexperienced squad, pointing toward deeper issues within the team's roster and management strategy.
It was nevertheless a truly remarkable sight to witness a club of United's stature name a bench comprising eight teenagers and defender Victor Lindelöf.
Instead of an entry into folklore, this was a cry for help. Amorim's options were reduced further by injuries to Kobbie Mainoo and Amad Diallo.
