I did notice that he appeared to playing a more DM role in the most recent youth matches, perhaps that's where.the coaches see his future.Tweet

Do we think he is a good enough youth prospect to make it here?
savage.
Who knows, maybe, maybe not. But the moment he made his debut and his dad made the announcement was incredibly wholesome and definitely a highlight.Tweet

That was a special moment, really put a smile on my face.Who knows, maybe, maybe not. But the moment he made his debut and his dad made the announcement was incredibly wholesome and definitely a highlight.
I don't think so, but he could be useful to have as a squad player for the U23 but I'm not sure why they gave him such a hefty contract.Is this lad even a potential PL material ?

That was lovely, a very rare heartwarming moment in this modern game.But the moment he made his debut and his dad made the announcement was incredibly wholesome and definitely a highlight.
I never saw his dad but I would be surprised if Savage ends up in the Premier League.IMO he is a better player than his dad was at similar age who had a pretty good career. Good energy and passing improved in most aspects of the game this season
You sure you are not underestimating his dad ? Can't claim to know much about robbie but he played a very high level for a very long time.IMO he is a better player than his dad was at similar age who had a pretty good career. Good energy and passing improved in most aspects of the game this season
Yeah, every single player who plays in the Prem can be considered as elites in their field.On a side note it's amazing how good you can be but not make it at united or the premier league. This is sort of obvious I know.
Ive seen my fair share of united rejects live for other smaller teams and it will blow your mind as to how good they are and yet in some cases never had a chance to make it at united.
Then I think about top youth prospects and it's legit scary how good some can be at it.
I saw a video once about Barca's academy and how few kids actually make it into their senior squad. I suppose it's the same for any major club. Looking back on our youth sides from decades back, one or two came through but most don't.Ive seen my fair share of united rejects live for other smaller teams and it will blow your mind as to how good they are and yet in some cases never had a chance to make it at united.
Yeap. I was sure Will Keane would make it too. Physicality, speed and finishing.On a side note it's amazing how good you can be but not make it at united or the premier league. This is sort of obvious I know.

We are also talking the difference of just that last millisecond. Of course luck plays a part too. More than people would like to believe.Yeap. I was sure Will Keane would make it too. Physicality, speed and finishing.
But the reality is that a huge part of their success will be down to luck or the lack of.
Ben Pearson has nowI have seen so many good players in the academy, and as several have pointed out, few will make it. Nothing against Savage, but he isn't as good as say Ben Person or Joe Rothwell who played CM too, and those two have had good careers but haven't even made it to the Premier League yet! (Well...) . We shouldn't underestimate how difficult it is to make it at United and even in the PL. McTominay has grit and a great physique, and maybe was a bit lucky, but he is an exception, not the norm. From our U23 to U18 now I can imagine Hannibal, Fernandez, Mainoo, Gore and Garnacho can make it at United. Maybe another one like Hansen. But my point stands: few will make it.
Hence the "(well...)" afterward. We'll see if he plays though. He found it hard getting on the team even in The Championship. I'm glad for him though!Ben Pearson has now
I see what you did there!Hence the "(well...)" afterward. We'll see if he plays though. He found it hard getting on the team even in The Championship. I'm glad for him though!
Had such high hopes for Pearson back in the day. Hope to see him feature regularly next season.Ben Pearson has now
