I still have high hopes for the lad (as does Fergie) but I don't think we're gonna see him making much use of that first-team squad number he was allocated a few weeks ago.

Granted I haven’t seen all the reserve matches that he's played in this season but anytime I have he has been generally stuck upfront on his own whereas in the academy he had a partner in crime upfront. This maybe a reason for his slightly below par performances. Still think he’s going to be quality. Young players step up and regress all the time. Its part of the course.
