Worth starting him in the Europa League game vs Sociedad?
I have said it several times, he is really scared, more scared than Mourinho. So scared of losing, which isn't a good trace for a United manager. Also "he plays youth" no he doesn't! He did, at one time, but he doesn't now.I remember a manager putting on 17-year-old Macheda and 18-year-old Welbeck against Aston Villa during a close title race.
On the other hand, Amad coming on today against West Ham in the FA Cup 5th round was just too risky for Ole.
Will be on the bench and maybe get on the pitch if we're leading by 2+ goals.Worth starting him in the Europa League game vs Sociedad?
I don’t see this. He just jogs or watches players run past him.We were chasing a must win game, that's when you just throw on all available attackers. You don't really throw on green attacker when you need to retain defensive solidity. Rashford at the very least will track back and also have the experience to retain the ball once we were ahead. Rashford still also got the all important assist...
How many games did greenwood play last year hahaWill be on the bench and maybe get on the pitch if we're leading by 2+ goals.
OGS might have forgotten this but SAF always throws an attacking youngsters on the pitch to make a difference and it always worked.
Yep, Rashford tracking back hasn't been a thing for about 2 years now to be honest.I don’t see this. He just jogs or watches players run past him.
LvG also did it with Martial, a player we signed for a similar fee and came with high expectations. He also did it with Rashford too.Will be on the bench and maybe get on the pitch if we're leading by 2+ goals.

It's easy to start a youngster if you've no alternatives in that position.I don’t see this. He just jogs or watches players run past him.
always? Ffs, get a grip. He did what he did to suit the circumstances at certain times. Fergie was the goat, but different times now. He had made a stable side, which made it easier to carry a debutant. If you want to continually cite Fergie, just remember his Ralphie Milnes etc when he was building his squad/future. Maybe you are aware of any of this.Will be on the bench and maybe get on the pitch if we're leading by 2+ goals.

Indeed.Amad not coming on yesterday being used as a stick to beat Ole with absolutely pathetic stuff. Spoilt brats.
I think that's on purpose. Instructions imo. Idea is to a conserve some energy. And be ready for the counter. Somewhat like Salah at Liverpool.Yep, Rashford tracking back hasn't been a thing for about 2 years now to be honest.
Yeah does seem wild. I’m sure if we had kept the dominance we showed in the first half up but with the benefit of a goal or two we probably would have seen Amad. Doubt Ole wanted to bring on Shaw, Bruno, McT and Cavani but it was needs must.Amad not coming on yesterday being used as a stick to beat Ole with absolutely pathetic stuff. Spoilt brats.
Seems a bit harsh, we played one 19 year old for 86 minutes then another for 30 minutes (Williams might actually be 20 but same thing). I'd be very surprised if Amad doesn't make a cameo in the next month. From a selfish perspective I'm almost glad we'll get to see him link up with Shoretire and Mejbri at least a couple more times for the U23s.Amad not coming on yesterday being used as a stick to beat Ole with absolutely pathetic stuff.

Greenwood had James ahead of him who stank the right side of the midfield and was still getting minutes. Greenwood got his chances after the lockdown.How many games did greenwood play last year haha
Ole has done that multiple times this year.Will be on the bench and maybe get on the pitch if we're leading by 2+ goals.

Mason Greenwood played 51 first team matches last season, including 31 in the Premier League. Your version of events are not accurateGreenwood had James ahead of him who stank the right side of the midfield and was still getting minutes. Greenwood got his chances after the lockdown.
It's also worth remembering it was easier to bed Greenwood in during the Europa League group stage, which we don't have the luxury of currently, he picked up quite a few goals against fodder to build up his confidence.Mason Greenwood played 51 first team matches last season, including 31 in the Premier League.

I just hope Mejbri isn't out injured for too long. There was reports that he'd suffered a injury against Blackburn.Seems a bit harsh, we played one 19 year old for 86 minutes then another for 30 minutes (Williams might actually be 20 but same thing).

You have all it takes to become a sports journalist.He'll be on the bench vs West Brom, just a hunch based on nothing but my own logic, but it would make sense.
Still think there is a chance he could play with the U23's again tomorrow night, however if he could make his first PL matchday squad it will give me real hope he could get his debut next ThursdayHe'll be on the bench vs West Brom, just a hunch based on nothing but my own logic, but it would make sense.
With Pogba out injured and Mata nowhere to be seen, we don't really have any other options for the 9-man bench unless we go with two keepers or four defenders.He'll be on the bench vs West Brom, just a hunch based on nothing but my own logic, but it would make sense.
The reserves play against Arsenal on Friday, so if he plays that then no chance.He'll be on the bench vs West Brom, just a hunch based on nothing but my own logic, but it would make sense.
feels very much like the sort of thing you only get punished for if you’re a Utd player. Never heard of any players from rival clubs getting fined for this.What's this about Diallo being fined for falsifying documents related to his Italian passport? Says that he had someone pretend to be his mum and dad
Don’t bother wasting your breath on most of the fans on this forum. They’ll just have a pop at you for saying it and when he does become the player you and I know he can become ( if he keeps his head down) They’ll say they said exactly the same. The lads ability is incredible.Tweet

Not a slight on anyone but I don't think Marcus or Tony make that assist. unreal vision from the kid to set Shoretire up. He's the real deal.
Can I just ask who you believe was at this level in our u18s and 23s and didn’t make it? We havent had too many 18 y/o at this level I have to say and I’ve been watching for around ten years now. Who have I missed? Ravel is the only one I can think of and he needed help with himself it wasn’t a lack of ability.He looks like he is above this level. But making the step up to first team squad player is something else. Many had impressed at this level before.
only really Morrison, Pogba, Pique and Rossi.Can I just ask who you believe was at this level in our u18s and 23s and didn’t make it?

James Wilson too - but in hindsight i'm not sure the reserve level was quite as good as it is these days. He had everything though it seemed! (apart from determination and a work ethic)only really Morrison, Pogba, Pique and Rossi.
While Pique, Pogba and Rossi didn't make it at United they all had successful careers elsewhere, to varying degrees, so much so that Pogba eventually rejoined.only really Morrison, Pogba, Pique and Rossi.
wilson, pereira will Keane, adnan and Chong belong in the bracket below I think. They looked amazing in the youth setup but a mixture of injuries and bad attitude and ultimately a lack of ability has/will probably hold them back.James Wilson too - but in hindsight i'm not sure the reserve level was quite as good as it is these days.
