EPL: Amorim includes 16-year-old defender in Man Utd squad to face Ipswich

Manchester United manager, Ruben Amorim, has included Godwill Kukonki in his squad for the Premier League trip to Ipswich Town on Sunday.

Amorim takes charge of his first official game with the Red Devils at Portman Road.

And he has decided to include 16-year-old Kukonki in his squad for the fixture.

This was confirmed by football transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano.

Romano wrote on X: “16-year-old defender Godwill Kukonki has travelled with the Man United squad to face Ipswich Town, confirmed.”

Kukonki is a tall, left-footed defender who can play at left-back or centre-back and has been at United for several years having first joined the club’s Under-9 team.

A place in today’s travelling squad rewards the youngster for a strong start to the season with the Under-18s and good training sessions with the first team.
