Ruben Amorim has hinted at heavy rotation before Europa League semi-final second leg against Athletic Bilbao
Ruben Amorim could name several youngsters in his Manchester United team against Brentford after admitting he is ready to “risk” plenty of changes.
United’s game in west London is sandwiched in between the two legs of their Europa League semi-final tie against Athletic Bilbao, with the Red Devils having eased to a commanding 3-0 victory at San Mames on Thursday night.
Amorim admitted after the win in Spain that some of his players had reached their physical limit with a number of changes now expected.
Harry Amass, Tyler Fredricson, Jaydan Kamason, Sekou Kone, Bendito Mantato and Chido Obi could all feature.

Amorim was boosted in Bilbao by Amad Diallo and Matthijs de Ligt both returning from injury off the bench.
Ayden Heaven and Toby Collyer remain sidelined along with long-term absentees Lisandro Martinez, Joshua Zirkzee and Diogo Dalot, who will not play again this season. Jonny Evans has also yet to return.
With Dalot out and Mazraoui rested, highly-rated 18-year-old wing-back Kamason could be in line for his senior United debut, while fellow teenager Fredricson will hope to feature again after playing 90 minutes in defence against Wolves last month.
Obi and Kone are ineligible for the Europa League but both travelled to Spain anyway as Amorim conducted a Friday training session involving several youngsters ahead of Brentford, with the likes of Amass and Mantato unused substitutes in Bilbao along with Kamason and Fredricson.
Predicted Manchester United XI: Onana; Fredricson, De Ligt, Shaw; Kamason, Ugarte, Eriksen, Amass; Mainoo, Mount; Obi
Doubt: Evans
Injured: Martinez, Zirkzee, Dalot, Heaven, Collyer
Rested: Mazraoui
Time and date: 2pm BST on Sunday May 4, 2025
Venue: Gtech Community Stadium, London
