Chido and Kone primed for Brentford role

Manchester United duo Chido Obi and Sekou Kone look certain to be involved at Brentford on Sunday after being named in Ruben Amorim's Europa League travelling squad even though they cannot play.

Obi was signed from Arsenal and Kone from Mali-based club Guidars earlier this season so they could not be named on the club's 'B' list for European competition.

However, Amorim has elected to keep his squad in Spain overnight after the first leg of their Europa League semi-final with Athletic Bilbao and is planning a full training session on Friday before returning to Manchester.

Amorim is expected to make a significant number of changes for the Brentford game and his decision to involve Chido and Kone this week indicates they will play some part at Gtech Community Stadium.

Seventeen-year-old Chido made his sixth substitute appearance for United in the 1-1 draw at Bournemouth on 27 April, while Kone, 19, is yet to make his debut.
