Who is Willy Kambwala? 19YO Manchester United Starlet Who Makes His Debut vs West Ham United

While things have not gone Erik ten Hag’s way this season. However, it doesn’t seem like the Manchester United boss is not ready to give up just yet. The manager has tried multiple players this season. The team’s upcoming clash against West Ham United has seen a fresh name added to the first team. Nineteen-year-old Willy Kambwala has made his name into the team sheet with the defender set to make his debut for the side.

Kambwala has made no appearances for Manchester United during his three years with the club. This could be an enormous opportunity for the player to prove himself with United struggling with injury issues at the moment.

All you need to know about Willy Kambwala

The Frenchman has spent the last three years at Manchester United impressing the management with his time with the youth team. United spent $3.8 million back in 2020 to secure the player’s services, signing him from French side Sochaux. While the player was considered a big signing for the future, some injuries along the way have derailed his debut for the first team.

Kambwala is 6ft4in tall and is known for his technical prowess. The defender has built a reputation for using his physicality to win battles, which could be a big plus point for Manchester United. The Frenchman has had a strong resume to his name, with Kambwala leading the French U17 national team in 2020.

With his physicality and technical prowess, the player could be an answer to Erik ten Hag’s center-back issues. United despite having a big depth in the position have failed to find their center-back pairing with multiple injuries constantly forcing the team to change their plan.

Manchester United hope to get things back on track with win over West Ham

The Red Devils have struggled to find a stable form this season. The team has failed to stitch together a string of wins this season, which has seen them constantly stay out of the top four race. With Erik ten Hag and his men traveling to the London Stadium, the team will be hopeful of coming out of top with a win to their name.

However, things will not be as easy for United with West Ham putting out some impressive performances in their past few games. It will be interesting to see if the Red Devils can string together their best performance in a while and find a win to get their campaign back on track. A loss tonight would be a big blow for the manager who is reportedly starting to lose trust within the dressing room.
