Manchester United finally play the first game of the Ruben Amorim era on Sunday afternoon and the new boss is certainly doing things his own way.
Manchester United supporters have been waiting more than three weeks for the Ruben Amorim era to really kick off.
Amorim was appointed as United boss almost a month ago now with his arrival confirmed on November 1.
The Portuguese coach stayed in charge of Sporting until the international break though, meaning that United fans have been forced to be patient.
The day has finally arrived though with Amorim set to lead United out against Ipswich Town on Sunday afternoon.
Amorim has certainly impressed in press conferences and interviews but United fans will be hoping to see some encouraging signs on the pitch.
Ruben Amorim includes teenager in Manchester United squad
Amorim plays a 3-4-3 formation and we are expecting to see that system in action for United.
The new United boss is going to do things his own way and that includes his approach to young players.
United target Geovany Quenda is one of a host of players to make their senior debuts under Amorim at Sporting, alongside the likes of Dario Essugo and Goncalo Inacio.
Amorim has shown that he will give chances to young players if he thinks they are good enough.
Academy Scoop now report that Amorim has decided to include teenager Godwill Kukonki in his matchday squad at Portman Road.
Kukonki was included in first-team training earlier this week as Amorim took a good look at the 16-year-old defender.
Amorim has now been impressed enough to include Kukonki in the travelling squad to Ipswich.
A starting role would be a huge surprise but Kukonki may sneak onto the bench as Amorim begins his United reign.
Who is Godwill Kukonki?
Kukonki hails from Stoke-on-Trent and has been coming up through the United ranks.
A left footer who can play at left back or centre back, Kukonki could be ideal for an outside centre back role under Amorim.
Kukonki stands at a huge 6ft 5in tall and qualifies to play for either England or DR Congo moving forward.
Kukonki only made his United Under-21 debut in October but is now in catching Amorim’s eye for the first team as excitement builds over his future.
