Ruben Amorim has already overseen three academy graduates since becoming Manchester United 's head coach in November, and a fourth is on the horizon. Chido Obi, Harry Amass and Tyler Fredricson have made their senior debuts under the Portuguese tactician's watch, becoming the 252nd, 253rd and 254th fixtures in a prestigious list.

But before United and head coach Ruben Amorim can give any thought to the return leg with the Spanish outfit, they must navigate their way through Sunday's Premier League clash with Brentford at the Gtech Community Stadium.

Ruben Amorim does not believe winning the Europa League will solve Manchester United’s problems despite victory offering a back-door route into next season’s Champions League.
