Manchester United rotated 8 players after 3-0! Youth Storm broke 2 major records, Amorin: I want to win the UEFA Cup

In the just-concluded game against Brentford, Manchester United head coach Amorin boldly launched the record-breaking "Youth Storm" lineup and said: "We must now attach great importance to the cultivation of young players." These words also explained why the 11 starting players he ranked broke two historical records.

The most popular one is undoubtedly Chido Obi, who is only 17 years and 156 days old. He became the youngest player in Manchester United history to start in the Premier League. The average age of the overall starting lineup in this game is only 22 years and 270 days, and it is also the youngest lineup in the history of the Red Devils.

Amorin was very calm in the face of this historical moment mentioned by the media. He said in an interview with Sky Sports before the game: "For me, this game is not a big scene for Cheetos. I know it is very important to him personally, but I don't want him to bear too much pressure. He performed very well in his previous playing time, and I think he is ready to face the challenge of the Premier League."

This teen striker is not the first time he has attracted the attention of the outside world. As a talented player produced by Arsenal's youth training system, Obi has long broken records frequently in youth team competitions, and now he has officially written his own chapter in the first team. Obi's starting lineup was one of the eight adjustments in this lineup rotation, and Amorin fulfilled his pre-match promise of "bold rotation". In fact, Manchester United currently focuses on the UEFA Cup. This week they beat Athletic Bilbao 3-0 away, taking the initiative in advance. Considering the upcoming second leg of the semi-final match this Thursday, Amorin is obviously unwilling to take the risk of causing the main player to be injured in the Premier League.

"Of course we have the responsibility to play every game well and be responsible for the results of the game." The 40-year-old Portuguese coach admitted at a pre-match press conference, "But in the current situation, we must be more realistic. I want to win the Europa League, so our focus is to protect the health of the players while maintaining competitiveness. This is not a beautiful sentence, but we must understand the current background."

Therefore, many main players of Manchester United were hidden: captains Bruno Fernandez, Maguire, Casemiro, Hoylen and new player Yoro all sat on the bench; main goalkeeper Onana did not even make the roster, with substitute goalkeeper Baindir starting to guard the goal, and veteran Heaton sat on the bench.

Only three players retained their starting positions in this game, one of which was Argentine star Garnacho. He also expressed a similar attitude to the coach after the game: "We got a great result away (beating Bilbao 3-0), which is crucial for us to enter the UEFA Cup final. The Premier League is of course also important, but the current situation is relatively difficult. At present, the UEFA Cup semi-finals and possible finals are our core goals. But as Manchester United, we must of course try our best to win every game." This youth storm not only injects fresh vitality into Manchester United, but also allows fans to see hope for the future. Under the dual test of the pressure of results and the intensive schedule, Amorin is trying to find an optimal solution between "winning the ball and getting points" and "cultivating new players".
