A Manchester United U18s coach has issued a strong message to Sporting CP manager Rúben Amorim, urging him to reconsider his stance on a rising young striker who has been impressing at the youth level.
“He’s a natural goalscorer! He wants to score goals and has what it takes to play in big games and get into the right positions, but Amorim won’t see it!” the coach stated.
These remarks come at a time when Sporting CP is struggling to convert chances into goals, raising questions about why Amorim has not turned to promising academy players to help solve the issue.
The United youth coach praised the unnamed striker’s instincts and composure under pressure, emphasizing that young forwards need confidence and opportunities to develop at the highest level.
Although Amorim has been lauded for his tactical adaptability and success with Sporting, his reluctance to integrate youth prospects has sparked debate over whether he is fully utilizing the club’s talent pool.
With Sporting continuing to struggle in attack, fans and analysts alike are eager to see if Amorim will take the advice and give young talent a chance to make an impact.
