Mate I reckon he'd put a half broken, retired Carrick in the centre of defence before he starts Tuanzebe.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?

Suddenly Tuanzebe's been poor for the u-23s? A couple of lapses probably due to concentration because he finds the level so comfortable and a slightly less than immaculate aerial game...
What would worry me would be the suggestion in the Castle's article that Tuanzebe would be a higher risk than the likes of Fellaini at cb. The horror of a tricky forward running at Fellaini on the edge of the penalty area. (I'm sorry I do like Fellaini's attitude but..)
Of course Tuanzebe's very young and inexperienced. He would make errors. It would not be ideal. But surely if Blind couldn't play then he'd be the next best option? You could have made an argument for Carrick a couple of years ago. Not now imo.

Never seen him play just read some of the write ups etc. Would love to see him get a run out and see whether he's got it, absolutely wouldn't put Fellaini at CB, that would be a disaster waiting to happen.
If we don't pick up 3 points vs Burnley, I'd expect Axel to get 3-4 games before the end of the season.
Tuanzebe is 18 now, isn't he? He is a man. Time to step and take charge of your destiny young Axel.
Tuanzebe has new hair. Rooney the opposite.
Rooney keeps on wearing more and more clothes for football. In a few years he'll be playing in a bobble hat and scarf.
He's got a new hair before he even played any game. Youngsters these days ffs. Worst attitude ever. Sell him.
Exactly! Heard he likes music too. Before he's made it FFS.
Go on Jose, play him.
Why wouldn't TFM be next in line ahead of Tuanzebe?
He looks some unit in that pic
Yeah but what about Tuanzebe?
All set for a 2 minute cameo
Still an awful hairstyle but much better than his last one.
This post would generate lots of lulz on social media.
He might be. Just assuming TFM would stay in midfield but he could play at cb.
Rascal barnet
It's going to be Blind and it has to be Blind.. you can't take crazy risks at this stage we need all the experience we can get
Feck youth today always having their fun..Exactly! Heard he likes music too. Before he's made it FFS.
Yep. Can't believe this lad has an own instagram account.
Nooo before he makes it... Needs get his head straight before we know it he will be on Twitter.
Looks like he's wearing a bicycle helmet.
Turns 20 in November. Hope he gets some game time to show what he can do
Under slightly different circumstances, I'd be in favour of Axel coming in. Not sure I'd want him alongside Bailly, who appears pretty brainless himself and not the man to lead a young centre half.
Personally, I think Darmian can be a good emergency centre half, and I'd play him before Axel. That said, I'd play Axel before Fellaini and probably Carrick too.

Got to be seriously uncomfortable to play football in a jacketTuanzebe has new hair. Rooney the opposite.
Really hope to see Tuanzabe get a few matches quite soon. Our defensive injuries could be the making of him, sort of like Rashford last season.
Probably owns headphones too. Cocky little so-and-so.Exactly! Heard he likes music too. Before he's made it FFS.
Sell Tuanzebe buy Dembele, Dembele and Dembele.

Covering his far from slim body?
Really? I love the guy's technical ability but he's a massive soft touch, physically. And not tall either.
How do you rate Tuanzebe? Do you think Mou will play him ahead of Blind in the coming weeks, assuming that we still have something to play for.
Absolutely. He just can't play in CB. That's just ridiculous to think. I could think about more than 10 options better than having Darmian in the center. For example, Ashley Young, Shaw, Pogba and perhaps even Rooney. Damian is the last guy to play in a physical demanding position.
Highly. Honestly thanks to work I watch the youngsters way less than I used to even just last season, so I can't speak to his recent form, but when I've seen him he's had all the ingredients. Of course, we've had plenty of young CBs over the years who've been the same and barely got a look in. Keane's the stand out example, and look at him now, absolutely smashing it with Burnley.
If Tuanzebe has been a bit off-colour this season as reported, he wouldn't be the first youngster to go off the boil because he's been kept in the reserves for too long. A certain Paul Pogba was one very notable example of that. He was hardly doing himself any favours in the reserves when we sold him.
The CB position isn't something alien to Darmian. He has played a few times there in the past.
Rascal Barnet is my new band's name. Just need to form it. Also to learn an instrument.
Rather than feeling down about the injury list, I'm excited about this. Let football's scriptwriters know once again that injury crises only ever make us stronger.
Saw him smile in training, when we're 5th! Doesn't take football seriously.
TFM as a midfielder is some kind of myth with little basis in reality
Has he ever started a game in midfield at any level?Deserves a cameo against Gray today.
Brilliant performance from him today.
