Ruben Amorim promotes 16-year-old Goodwill Kukonki to Manchester United first team
Ruben Amorim has promoted 16-year-old Goodwill Kukonki to first-team training during his first session as Manchester United manager. This move signals a focus on integrating young talent from the academy. Amorim, who took over on November 1, is also expected to fast-track the development of Chido Obi-Martin, a 16-year-old striker recently signed from Arsenal. He has impressed coaches with his performance in the academy. Amorim's approach may reflect a shift towards developing homegrown players due to a more modest budget compared to his predecessor, Erik ten Hag. This strategy aims to enhance the pathway for academy players to the first team.
