defo Greenwood, knows how to score, gets into good positions. I know it was only pre season but his confidence and composure is exceptional for a 17 yr old

Directly under the sun... NOW!
I love silky Greenwood's silky skills.

Each year he'll get silkier and silkier until he's just ridiculously silky.

And then by the end of his career, when all the permafrost has thawed, only a handful of us will see him retire.

The end.

At the moment it looks like Greenwood to have the best career of those 3 but things change very quickly in time so you never know. James Wilson looked very good to have chance to make it here and now he's gone to the SPL. Injurries have a big impact on a player's career as well as the mentality (that's the most important one imo) and personality. Remember Januzaj in the tour 2013 and the season after that? He looked a certain future player for us but his poor mentality caused him his downfall.

So I hope our youngsters avoid serious injuries & don't act like "they made it" as soon as they get chances in the first team and work harder all the time. At the moment all 3 along with McTominay, Garner, Tuanzebe etc. (hope TFM will add to that once he recovers from his injury) look very promising don't they? :drool: I'm really excited for our youngsters right now.

Why do you all underestimate Chong? What am i missing?
I think the player Chong his leads itself to a lot more unpredictability in terms of his development. Wingers like that will be inconsistent for a while with decision making/end product and it's about ironing that out that dictates how far they go. Gomes on the other hand is a very creative player with very refined technique and looks very mature on the pitch. His risk is can he handle the premier league, but there are other less physical top leagues that he could handle and excel at. Greenwood almost looks ready to start at a big club already, as much as a 17 year old can be. All 3 can make it as top players for United, just theres low odds for that, and with Chongs style, I would say he has the biggest risk associated out of those 3.

Bollocking about fluently.
Haven't seen much of Gomes but Chong I think will have a great career. He's already useful for a high pressing game - full of drive and usually playable plus his skills and quickness draws a lot of free kicks. Will be exciting to see him mature - just how far he can go. Greenwood however has really impressed me - and unless he gets injured or neglected - or goes lazy for that matter - I believe he can reach the very top tier. Reminds me of a young Patrick Kluivert to be honest.
