“I heard that after Lamine Yamal, they are the next best youngster. They are incredibly amazing. They don’t play like young kids. They play as if they have been playing football for 20 years plus. What they did to us when we played against them baffled me till today” – BREAKING NEWS as Rúben Amorim reveals that Manchester United has already signed two most talented youngsters who are speculated to be as good as Lamine Yamal

Rúben Amorim has sent shockwaves through the football world after sensationally revealing that Manchester United have already secured the signatures of two of the most exciting young players in the game—teenagers being hailed as potentially as talented as Barcelona’s wonderkid, Lamine Yamal.

In a statement that has left fans and pundits buzzing, the Portuguese manager, currently in charge of Manchester United, did not hold back in praising the youngsters’ composure, intelligence, and confidence. “They don’t play like young kids,” he said. “They play as if they have been playing football for 20 years plus. What they did to us when we played against them baffled me till today.”

The quote refers to a recent internal friendly between first-team players and youth prospects, where two standout performers left Amorim stunned. While the names of these players were not explicitly confirmed in his emotional post-match debrief, speculation is mounting that he was referring to Ayden Heaven and Harry Amass—two academy players who have been fast-tracked into the senior team amid United’s injury crisis.

Manchester United’s season has been nothing short of turbulent, and as the Premier League campaign drags toward its conclusion, Amorim’s options have been stretched thin. With several key players sidelined and European commitments taking their toll, the coach has had little choice but to lean heavily on youth.

Speaking ahead of United’s weekend clash with Wolves at Old Trafford, Amorim admitted that throwing young players into high-pressure fixtures wasn’t ideal. “This isn’t the perfect time—or season—to throw young players in,” he admitted. “They need a stable environment to really show their quality, but right now, we may have to take some risks.”

Yet despite his reservations, Amorim has already handed vital minutes to several academy products in recent matches. Ayden Heaven, originally brought in due to an injury crisis in midfield, has now become a staple in the first-team setup. “He only played because of injuries, if I’m being honest,” Amorim confessed, “but now I consider him part of the squad.”

Another young gem, left-back Harry Amass, drew plaudits for his composed display against Lyon in the Europa League. At just 17, Amass showed maturity beyond his years in a match that lasted 120 minutes and ended in United’s dramatic comeback.

Chido Obi, another name mentioned by Amorim, has quietly impressed in training and seized his opportunity when called upon. With each passing week, United’s bench is increasingly filled with youth-team products. Against Lyon, Jaydan Kamason, Godwill Kukonki, and Jack Moorhouse were all named among the substitutes—evidence of the club’s growing reliance on its academy.

Though fans may be excited about this youth revolution, Amorim has made it clear that the pressure on these players must be managed. “We can’t expect them to carry the team, but if we support them correctly, they can shine,” he said.

In the midst of all this, there is hope that more experienced players will soon return to ease the burden. Both Noussair Mazraoui and Victor Lindelöf had to leave Thursday’s Europa League tie at halftime due to personal family issues. Amorim provided an update, saying, “Football is important, but some things matter more. Thankfully, everything is OK now, and they’ll be ready for the next match.”

United’s Premier League form may no longer be the focus, with top-four hopes essentially dashed. But all attention now turns to Europe. Amorim sees winning the Europa League as the club’s best—and perhaps only—chance to secure Champions League football next season.

The semifinal clash with Athletic Club will demand tactical discipline and depth, and it appears Amorim is not ruling out giving his young stars more game time. Their fearless performances so far could be exactly what United need to navigate a brutal fixture list and lift silverware once again.

If Amorim’s glowing words are anything to go by, these players are not merely filling in—they’re announcing themselves as the future of Manchester United. The coach’s comparison with Lamine Yamal is no small compliment. Yamal, already a household name at Barcelona, is seen as the benchmark for teenage excellence.

To be mentioned in the same breath as the Spanish prodigy is a statement in itself. “I heard that after Lamine Yamal, they are the next best youngster,” Amorim said. “They are incredibly amazing.” For young players at a club like Manchester United, where the stakes are always sky-high, that level of praise is both rare and deeply significant.

It’s a testament to the club’s academy system, which has quietly been producing talents while the first-team’s inconsistencies grabbed the headlines. Amorim, known for nurturing young talent during his time at Sporting CP, appears committed to replicating that philosophy at Old Trafford.

As fans dream of a new era built on youthful brilliance, Amorim is laying the foundations. And if these early glimpses are anything to go by, the future might just be arriving sooner than anyone expected.

In the end, it may be these teenage stars who define the Amorim era at Manchester United—just as Yamal is doing at Barcelona.
