Former Sporting CP coach Rúben Amorim is set to make his managerial debut for Manchester United, with his first challenge being a Premier League newcomer, Ipswich Town. The Portuguese coach has already surprised fans with bold squad decisions.
Details: According to Academy Scoop on X, 16-year-old center-back Godwill Kukonki will be included in Manchester United’s squad for the game against Ipswich.
While he is unlikely to start, the academy prodigy is expected to make the bench for the match. Reports confirm that the 6'5" defender has traveled with the senior team for the game.
Kukonki has had a memorable week after being called up to train with the first team. The young player impressed Amorim during sessions, earning his first senior squad selection for today’s match.
Reminder: Amorim took charge of Manchester United on November 11. Currently, the club sits 12th in the Premier League standings after 11 matches. The game against Ipswich kicks off at 5:30 PM CET.
Previously, reports indicated that Amorim was disappointed with the attitude of some United players during his initial training sessions.
