A Manchester United U18s coach has delivered a strong message to Sporting CP manager Rúben Amorim, calling on him to reconsider his stance on an emerging striker who has been making waves at youth level. “He’s a natural goalscorer! He wants to score goals and he has what it takes to play big games and get into those positions, but Amorim won’t see it!†the coach said in a pointed statement.
The remarks come amid a goal-scoring crisis at Sporting CP, where Amorim’s side has struggled to convert chances into goals in recent matches. With the senior team showing a lack of clinical finishing, many have questioned why the Sporting boss has not yet turned to promising youth talents to address the issue.
The United U18s coach praised the unnamed young striker, describing him as a player with natural instincts and a strong ability to perform under pressure. The coach emphasized that such players thrive on confidence and opportunity, both of which are critical for development at the highest level.
While Amorim has been praised for his tactical flexibility and success with Sporting, his reluctance to integrate some of the club’s younger stars has sparked debates about whether he’s fully utilizing the resources at his disposal.
As Sporting continues to struggle in front of goal, fans and pundits alike are waiting to see if Amorim will heed this advice and give youth a chance to shine.
