Speaking ahead of the match against Wolves in the 33rd round of the Premier League on April 20, the Portuguese coach said he would focus all his efforts on the Europa League, where MU still has a chance to win the championship. In the domestic league, the "Red Devils" are likely to put their trust in young players to give their main players time to rest.
“It is not the best time to give young players a chance because they need a solid foundation to show their ability,” Amorim said. “But in this situation, we have to do it. Sometimes you need surprises.”
The Guardian reports that three youngsters, Harry Amass, Chido Obi and Ayden Heaven, are expected to get more playing time for the remainder of the season. On April 18, Amorim brought on 18-year-old defender Amass in the 100th minute of the Europa League quarter-final second leg against Lyon, marking his European debut.
Meanwhile, 17-year-old striker Obi Martin played 3 times in the domestic league and 1 time in the FA Cup. Meanwhile, rookie Heaven played 2 matches in the Premier League, 1 time in the FA Cup and 1 time in the Europa League.

In addition, coach Amorim also named five academy players to the first-team squad last month, including Jaydan Kamason, Godwill Kukonki, Jack Moorhouse, Sekou Kone and Toby Collyer.
MU will face Athletic Bilbao in the first leg of the Europa League semi-finals on May 1. Before this match, the "Red Devils" will face Wolves and Bournemouth, and will also have a match with Brentford between the two matches with Bilbao. The tight schedule has forced Amorim to rotate the squad, in the context of many stars being injured and showing signs of overload.
“We need the support of the fans against Wolves. I know it's been a difficult season, but we really need them on Sunday,” said Amorim.
