We've given others chances, including people like Januzaj playing in his position. If he isn't impressing the manager more than Januzaj who's fault is that? Thats not what happened with Pogba. And just because he might be our most talented CM in the reserves doesn't mean that if he is let go, he'll find a new club and become one of the best midfielders in the world like Pogba. Its far more likely that Pogba is a one off.

if we had the same midfield as we did last year, this is a guy who'd be getting far more chances ahead of the likes of fletcher and cleverley. however with the addition of herrera it's been tougher.
i really hope he stays too. i go to sleep every night holding my blankey tight dreaming of wilson, januzaj and pereira playing for us in the future. my wife isn't aware of this, but it doesn't concern her.

Probably answered elsewhere but does his contract definitley end in the summer?
Against Liverpool he played on the wing and I believe that it's where Van gaal sees him play, so no he wouldn't have had more playing time because he isn't in competition with the CMs.
yes.
This is very true and stuff what van Gaal would really like, he seems to do for under-21 more of what Herrera does for senior team. I am very pleased with his progress this season. Let's hope we give him chance in the last games of the season and convince him to stay. Still feel he's thinking of moving elsewhere to have more gametime..
I dont like him playing off the forwards as a no.10, particuarly since he's stepped up a level from our youth teams to the reserves, I think he's better playing a little deeper, he's so inconsistent minute to minute playing higher.
If I were him I would actually leave United and try to get regular games to develop, unless he's specifically been told he can go on loan next year.
as Casienma says, I'm another who would love to see Januzaj, Wilson and Pereira as the corner stones of our side for the next decade.

Just because he played like 15 minutes on the right against Liverpool doesn't mean he isn't viewed as a CM. He played the MK Dons match centrally so he is obviously seen as being able to play centrally and he usually plays centrally for the u21s. Young players often play multiple positions and are usually thrown out wide when breaking into the first team. Him playing wide against Liverpool really has no indication on what position he is viewed at by van Gaal.
He said that he sees himself as a wide attacking midfielder, though.
He also said first he sees himself as a 10 and he has said before that he likes to play as an 8 too.
Basically he says that he is willing to play everywhere as long as he plays.
Would be great news if he stays. Same as Gribbin.
He's not half bad defensively, I think he can be a better CM than an AMC or a playmaker playing on the wings
Haven't seen a lot of him......what player would people compare him to?
He's definitely a cm. He's only playing out wide because players in the youth team tend to play a lot of positions sometimes depending on which players are available to play.
Has he signed yet?
I bet everyone on here would want us to sign him after watching that video if he was playing for another club.
So is he still a new Pogba?
Haha, little did you know he was more than likely LITERALLY sitting at a table signing as you typed that
0:48. That passed was weighed to perfection.

What player would you compare Andreas to? Which player does he have a similar playing style to him?
To be honest with you, up until last season I thought he didn't have a future here. He was being shoved out wide and I always thought he didn't have the pace or the trickery to be really dangerous and he faded away in matches but then come up with a brilliant goal. But this past year under van Gaal he's progressed so much, his passing, the way he utilities the ball, decision making and his all round game has really improved and now he participates much more in everything our side does even when he's being played as a wide attacking midfielder. If I were to compare him to one of our current players I think it would be Mata, but much stronger and energetic.
He is more Herrera than Mata.
Glad that's sorted out! Looking forward to watching to break into the first team next season
I'll be honest, before this season it looked like his development is stagnating and I certainly didn't expect to see him around the 1st team.
But LVG saw his quality and brought him in the first team squad and since then he has improved a lot. I honestly think he's one of the our most improved players this year. Hopefully he keeps it up in the future, he will become a great player if he does.
Great to see him sign a new contract!

Pereira was doing well since the absolute start of the season, before he got to play in the first team. A shift in position is what ultimately helped him. Last year he played as a 10 and this year he spent most of his time deeper in cm.
He's played consistently well this year as opposed to last year
He is a fantatsic player. I remember watching that youth indoor tournament in Zürich, he was techncially a joy to watch, one of the best players in the tournament. Glad he sidgned, now hopefully he can take the next steps.
Great news!
Always wondered - is 99Corrigan a member of the board?
I bet everyone on here would want us to sign him after watching that video if he was playing for another club.
I'd probably say Thiago - in that he is capable of playing as a #8, #10 and could possibly even sit deeper as a #6. On top of that, he's got a great eye for a pass, is two-footed, is a great dribbler, plays with a lot of flair, scores a fair amount of goals and has even played out wide on occasions.
Really had come leaps and bounds this season. Hope he establishes himself here
Looked to have quite a bit of quality when he came on vs MKDons its a shame he didn't get much more first team minutes, but hopefully he win next season.
if he gets his positioning better and overall defensive play he will be a complete midfielder. I'd like him to play deeper as his long range passing reminds of Scholes' but on the other hand he has great shot and eye for pass in the final third, maybe he can arrive in the box late..
well it will be interesting how van Gaal develops the lad, he has a big chance to make it here..
Januzaj, Pereira, Wilson, McNair, Pearson that sounds pretty good and I didn't even mention other players from the academy. Our u18 squad is full of great talents.. Would be fantastic to see the team being built around them one day..
Looked like he might be coming on before Smalling got injured, I wonder who he would have replaced.
I think he was going to warm up along with Wilson, then Smalling went down.
Hopefully if Chelsea sort it out tomorrow he will get some game time against Arsenal and Hull.
Unlikely to be around for the Arsenal match and definitely wont be around for the Hull match. The Brazil under 20s fly out for the under 20 World Cup next Saturday
We'd still be possibly chasing 3rd also.
Ah, didn't realise he was heading off for that.
Great attitude.
Hope he goes out on loan next season, especially if we're further strengthening in midfield.
