He seems like a very mature player for his age.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
No, I'm referring to Ramos' pre-cnut phase when he was at Sevilla.
My wife always liked Daley Blind
Not interested until he becomes our cnut along the lines of Ramos
Good wife! My girlfriend likes Scott McTominayMy wife always liked Daley Blind
Yeah he was a RB for Sevilla and played there for Madrid a lot until he moved to CB.
In fairness McTominay's cheekbones are almost as strong as his tackling.Good wife! My girlfriend likes Scott McTominay
Are you a ging too?Good wife! My girlfriend likes Scott McTominay
Thank god, I'm not.
Will not be long until he makes his debut, he seems an incredible prospect with no fatal flaws like many have
He's got 2 very good left backs ahead of him, he's gonna be waiting a long while before his debut.
Who exactly?
Shaw and Telles.
Kid was fantastic today. Really stands out at this level.
Fair enough but my point is Telles hasn't even started his United career and Shaw is Shaw.
If the kid is as good as everyone suggests, he will be playing the first team in no time.
Early evidence is he's very good. I think he'll move up to the U23s pretty quickly but we've been taking our time with promotions. There's still quite a few yet to make their debuts too and his position is quite stacked at the moment.
He played for the 23s today?
I don't know if that's permanent or not, theoretically Devine was our starting U23 LB but he was MIA this season up until the FA Youth Cup game.
He looks very good, started very well for both U18 ans U23s. Impressed with how calm he is in possession and also looks very good attacking threat.
He looks very good indeed, as I wrote before. Always hard to judge and it's early days. He's not a traditional Alphonso Davies left-back and even though he's not slow he doesn't look particularly fast so will be interesting to see where he ends up (I can see him in a back three and also as a center mid) a bit like Daley Blind as I wrote before. I grasped at one of his dribblings today though, such an elegant player with a great physique. Looks tall and strong.
That a left-back scores great goals with his right foot is pretty amazing
I think we'll play a lot of back 5 this season, especially when Puigmal or Laird are fit so we have a proper RWB so both of Devine and Fernandez will play.
Yeah good shout actually.

Yes, and he can defend well also.
his performance was good. however brighton were poor.
remember this is virtually Youth level lets not get carried away.
its still early days for him at the club let him develop before heaping the hype.....
the real test will be when he evetually trains with the first team and when he goes out loan playing against men, playing mens football.
there's still plenty of time before all that..
He’s stood out at this level in most games he’s played, not just Brighton. Me saying that isn’t hyping him up, it’s just a fact.
there were alot of 'fantastic' performances yesterday
you picking him out using superlatives like 'fantastic' when he was good. And saying he 'stands out' amongst his peers is definitely hyping him up
seen this all before
just lets just see/enjoy how all it unfolds
Again you’re choosing to focus on yesterday as if it was his first game with us.
Yes he was fantastic in that game, as with others he has played, and yes he stands out so far. Those are facts. I haven’t mentioned anything about how he will turn out in the future. He could turn into Alexander Buttner tomorrow.
I have to say, it’s a very weird thing to have an issue with on a Saturday morning. Go enjoy your day mate.
he's only played a few games and you're the one hyping him up alreadyif you saw the likes of Scholes, Beckham and Butt back in the days playing in the A and B teams back in the day like i did i think you'd explode
seen this all before mate
Is it a foreign thing? He’s played a number of matches and looked like he’s playing below his level. If he was English the entire caf would be in overdrive. Hopefully we don’t hold him back, I see no reason for him needing a loan when players doing less than him have gone into the first team without a loan.
if you saw the likes of Scholes, Beckham and Butt back in the days playing in the A and B teams back in the day like i did i think you'd explode
seen this all before mate
He’s played 2 matches which were even fully televised.
If was English the caf wouldn’t have a clue who he is. Case in point, Will Fish. Is the same age and already the captain and regularly been the best player on the pitch. Added to his phenomenal u23s appearances last season as a 16 year old. Where is the caf going into overdrive for him?
The only foreign thing is overhyping every single foreign academy signing ever.
I'm kind of glad the Caf haven't learned about Fish yet, the kid's a gem but you just know as soon as people learn his name they'll be begging for him to play at every opportunity.
I just want a Fish in the line up for all the stupidest puns that Martin Tyler thinks he’s dreamt up
Fish has done well but the FA youth cup against Chelsea showed how far he needs to go. Mengi looks significantly ahead of him at the moment. Alvaro has excelled in every single game across all age groups and people seem annoyed, referencing for some abstract reason how much better they thought Giggs, Scholes and Butt were. I get the feeling a lot would like us to have the same system as Bilbao and become some sort of Brexit fc homage.
Agree. Fish was hardly brilliant against Brighton either. Good prospect though.
Ole fishing for support by playing kids.
Can be option for senior team but he need to register as a Foreigner for senior team as he has not trained in England for 2 years. What are exact rule for players like him?
