The club have given
plenty of academy graduates the chance in the previous season. This season we have several of the players that are ready for that next step out on loan.
In 19/20 - Manchester United had the youngest squad on the pitch in the majority of the Premier League games. The team that beat Chelsea 4-0 at Old Trafford was the youngest team to start in the Premier League all season with an average age of 24.
I'm not sure what you define "youth" by. But Greenwood, Gomes, Chong, Williams, Garner, Levitt, Bernard, Laird, Fosu-Mensah, Tuanzebe, have all seen either debuts or several matches of gametime in the past season. Tuanzebe featured in the win against PSG and played phenomenal, followed by some so so performances after. At 23 he's still a developing player.
Henderson, Rashford, Martial, Tuanzebe, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, James, Van De Beek, are all still in the category of developing players. Talent that have not yet reached their prime. None of them are the finished product. Even Martial is only 25 despite having been here forever.
I guess you're upset that we haven't made a lot of junior debuts
this season.
Junior players typically only gets debuts against teams that are significantly inferior where the matchups are considered a confidence booster and not detrimental to the team. OR they are forced into the team when there are a lot of injuries. We do not have a lot of injuries, and Watford were in the Premier League a few months ago, they are not a garbage team. The outliers are talent that are deemed ready for first team football since their talent is steps above the U18's or U23's. And then they are primarily given gametime or debuts when a match is already won, or in meaningless games.
We had to use Martial and Rashford because the 11 on the pitch couldn't put the game away. You give debuts against teams like Tranmere, not Watford, Everton or Manchester City. Considering the amount of youth talent that have been given gametime and considerations in the previous season, to come here and say that we're not giving anyone a chance is just aspectacular attempt at re-writing history.
Most of the people you want to have gametime practice with the first team squad most days. The staff will know what capabilities they have and if they are ready for first team gametime or not.
Not giving the kids a chance? Give me a break. Stop lying.
