Manchester United manager, Ruben Amorim has included several youngsters in the squad for their Premier League clash at Tottenham Hotspur due to a growing injury list, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.

Key players Amad Diallo, Manuel Ugarte, and Kobbie Mainoo are all sidelined, with Diallo potentially out for the rest of the season with ankle ligament damage.

Lisandro Martinez has also been ruled out for the remainder of the campaign with a cruciate ligament injury, leaving Amorim short of options.

As a result, youngsters Chido Obi, Sekou Kone, Jack Moorhouse, Harry Amass, and Elyh Harrison have all travelled with the first-team squad to Tottenham.

Obi, 17, has impressed at youth level, scoring 12 goals in 12 appearances since joining from Arsenal in October.

When asked about Obi's potential involvement, Amorim remained tight-lipped, saying: "I don't want to say names."
