Ruben Amorim is expected to promote more youth next season as Manchester United continue reshaping their squad under his vision.
The Red Devils have been scouting emerging talent across Europe, with several academy reshuffles and player exits planned in the summer.
Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo have become key figures under Amorim, encouraging United’s recruitment team to invest further in future stars.

With several ageing players likely to leave and the new manager’s trust in youth evident, the club is ramping up efforts to sign teenage talents before prices soar.
Amid ongoing interest in continental prospects, United are now watching a rising star in Catalonia.
Manchester United have joined Chelsea in the race to sign Barcelona prodigy Juan Hernandez Torres, one of Spain’s most exciting young playmakers, as per Sky Sports.
The 17-year-old attacking midfielder has shone for Barcelona’s U19s this season and was instrumental in their UEFA Youth League triumph, netting two goals — including the winner in the semi-final against AZ Alkmaar.
Juan Hernandez Torres turns 18 in July and is already on the radar of several European clubs, but it’s United and Chelsea who are reportedly considering triggering his modest £5 million (€6 million) release clause.

Sources in Spain suggest that Barcelona are aware of the growing interest and could attempt to convince the player to stay with a professional contract and pathway to the first team.
However, the Premier League duo are pushing hard, with Chelsea potentially planning to send him to their sister club Strasbourg in Ligue 1 for development.
United, meanwhile, are believed to be assessing a more direct route for Torres, potentially integrating him into the U21s or even giving him minutes during pre-season under Amorim.
The Spanish youth international has been praised for his technical ability, vision, and maturity on the ball — traits that align well with United’s new emphasis on dynamic midfield profiles.
As the summer window approaches, Torres could become the latest battlefield between two of England’s biggest clubs, with Manchester United determined not to miss out on another top-tier teenage gem.
