Manchester United’s starting line-up at Brentford is the youngest the club have ever named for a Premier League fixture.
Manager Ruben Amorim made eight changes from Thursday’s 3-0 win at Athletic Bilbao in the Europa League semi-final, resting a number of key players ahead of the second leg at Old Trafford on Thursday.
He promised to take risks with his line-up for Sunday’s visit to Brentford, with the Europa League taking priority amid a dismal Premier League campaign, and stuck to his word.
Amorim has selected two teenegers in the starting line-up, including 17-year-old striker Chido Obi and 18-year-old wing-back Harry Amass. Tyler Fredricson also starts in defence for the second time in the Premier League and is one of five 20-year-olds in the starting line-up.
In total, the average age of the United team is 22 years and 270 days, their youngest ever for a Premier League fixture, according to Opta Analyst. Obi, who joined United from Arsenal earlier this season, is also their youngest ever starter in the Premier League, breaking the record previously held by Mason Greenwood.
