Which is rarely a local phenomenon, it happens all over the world. Home grown players or even young players who were actually bought at the age of 14, 15 or 16 are
always a bit overrated by the supporters of the club they play for.
I think Amir has made a very valid point in pointing out that we can't judge them as long as they don't play on a regular basis for United (or a club of similar size which will probably happen in Pique's case). And it's safe to say that 98% of our youth players won't get the chance to do that due to various reasons. Judging by today's standard of the top Prem clubs (in particular Chelsea), we can't afford too many experiments with young players. Sad, but to some extent true.
