Omari Forson, 19, handed shock first Premier League start for Man Utd clash with Fulham

Occasional Digest - a story for you

MANCHESTER UNITED’s Omari Forson has been handed his full Premier League debut against Fulham.

The wonderkid made his first league appearance in the win over Wolves as he provided the assist for Kobbie Mainoo‘s winning goal.

Forson, 19, has been called upon by manager Erik ten Hag due to the club’s current injury crisis.

Rasmus Hojlund suffered a setback in training and has been left out of the matchday squad.

The striker is expected to miss the next two to three weeks with a muscle injury.

And his absence will have played a big part in the full debut for Forson this afternoon.

However the youngster’s start comes at the cost of a place in the XI for Amad Diallo, who has only featured once in the league this season.

The forward’s sole appearance came in the 2-1 defeat to Nottingham Forest in December.

He makes Ten Hag’s bench for the Premier League bout, but wasn’t able to earn himself a starting spot.

Fans have reacted to his snub and suggested that he would be better off away from Manchester United.

One posted: “If I were Amad, I would leave.”

A second wrote: “What does Amad got to do to get game time man.”

A third commented: “If I was Diallo, I’d quit.”

A fourth said: “Yeah, Amad should leave for his own good. He’s obviously not appreciated.”

A fifth added: “Amad stayed for this.”

Diallo missed the first few months of the season due to injury.

He has been on the bench for the previous three matches but was not called on by Ten Hag.

Forson has also made two appearances in the FA Cup.
