Amorim: Youngsters need to be prepared to play against Leeds

"We look to everything, but they need to be prepared. You can see the squad, it is impossible and we cannot stretch the players that we don't have at the moment. I will try to put together a team that is ready to cope with that. I will try to read the game and try to understand what I should do to help them."

"It's a game in a hostile environment, but they need to be ready. They need to experience that, but it's going to be hard for any player, even the guys with a lot of experience. But again, we already experienced that. At Bilbao last year, with the sound, so I know that that feeling is completely different. But they need to be ready."

Manchester United travel to Leeds after a run of poor results and have taken only three recent home points, all against sides reduced to ten men. Several first-team players remain unavailable due to AFCON and injury, and Ruben Amorim does not expect any to recover before Sunday. Squad depth is limited and unavailable players cannot be stretched. Academy players must be prepared to step into the team. Amorim intends to assemble a side able to cope, read the game and adapt tactics. Elland Road is described as a hostile environment that will test experience and composure.
