The 17-year-old caught the eye of most fans during United’s pre-season tour.Amass, who plays as a left-back, has been likened to Luke Shaw given his position and his style of play.United fans will be hoping he has a better injury record, however.Tyler Fredricson – 19Tyler Fredricson has represented England at youth levelCredit: GettyLike Heaven, Fredricson operates as a centre-half.The 19-year-old has risen through the ranks at Carrington and, although he is yet to make his debut for the club, has been earmarked as a potential player of the future.It’s his first time making the matchday squad for his boyhood club.Fredricson has represented England at U17 and U18 level in the past.Sekou Kone – 19Sekou Kone signed from Guidars FC in Mali this summer for around £1mCredit: AlamyCentral midfield talent Sekou Kone has a different story to the rest with United splashing £1million on the 19-year-old this summer in a deal with Guidars FC in his homeland of Mali.Kone shone at the 2023 Under-17s World Cup as he helped his country finish third and beat Argentina.The teenager is following in the footsteps of Tottenham star and compatriot Yves Bissouma, who also graduated from Guidars’ academy before moving to Europe.But despite his similar path to Bissouma, Kone has instead been dubbed the “next Yaya Toure” by African media outlets.Jack Moorhouse – 19Jack Moorhouse has been watched personally by Ruben AmorimCredit: AlamyAnother midfielder, Moorhouse is certainly one to watch – at least he is if you ask Ruben Amorim.Amorim personally watched the midfielder during a 5-1 win over Southampton in December alongside Darren Fletcher and Jason Wilcox.Moorhouse scored twice in the game and has now been rewarded for his fine form with a call-up to the first team.The 19-year-old sounds like a favourite of the new boss at the Theatre of Dreams.Chido Obi – 17Chido Obi is one of youth football’s most deadly strikersCredit: GettyUnited clearly have a thing for stealing away Arsenal’s rising stars.Similarly to Ayden Heaven, Obi-Martin, joined United earlier this season after the Red Devils snatched him away from the Gunners academy. The Danish 17-year-old has been highly rated for a long time after smashing youth records while on the books with Arsenal – and United fans have been gagging to see him lineup for the first team.Striker Obi managed an astonishing 32 goals in just 18 U18 Premier League appearances for Arsenal last season, and has scored nine in 11 for United’s youth ranks this term.Jack Fletcher – 17Jack Fletcher has already been named on the United bench for three Premier League games this seasonCredit: GettyFletcher has probably been the closest to making a breakthrough this season, having been named on the bench in the Premier League three times already this term.However, the attacking midfielder is still yet to make his senior debut for the Red Devils.READ MORE SUN STORIESAt just 17 years old, Fletcher has represented both England and Scotland at youth international level – sparking a war over his long term future.He’s no stranger to playing for rivals either, having been pinched away from Man City’s academy in 2023.
