Even if one of them could become mainstay of United's Midfield capable of challenging for biggest trophies we should be over the moon . Coming back to Hannibal it seems he might finally get his chance this season to make his case .
If we had sold McTominay perhaps. As it stands, I fear it would be one too many for him.
Really is an abysmal decision to keep him, 0 logic behind it.
I'm still perplexed by the Mount transfer tbh. In an ideal world, Mount will prove his value and Mejbri also gets a chance and takes it. I fear both of these things can't happen simultaneously though, and if anything it's more likely that neither happens.
I still hold hope that we might sell Mctominay otherwise you are correct , Mainoo might be only youngster who will get a look in .
Zero chance of that happening. Hannibal won't start more than 2 games if he stays this year. I really hope he goes, for his sake.
Why wouldn’t he start more than 2 games?
Let's not get ahead of ourselves now
That's the unique thing about him. Which is why I've always had high hopes for him to become a starting 8 for us. But admittedly he hasn't shown much with the seniors.
I'm not the one you're responding to, but Mainoo will probably get the starts of our young midfielders. He's looked better than Hannibal has for us by a distance. If we get Amrabat as well there won't be many more starts to go around.
Because I don't think ten Hag fancies him, and there's quite a lot of competition for his favourite position.

That’s a very good game. Even if it’s only his successful involvements, there are so many of them, and so many that turns up the heat in our attacking play. He doesn’t need too much game time at that level anymore I should think.
I think he can give us what Martin Odegaard gives Arsenal potentially. He's definitely too good for the reserves.
He’s one of the most talented U21s I’ve seen here in years, people think we exaggerate but when he’s on it he’s legitimately fantastic. He does have some serious drawbacks that potentially are holding him back though.
Very true, his snap decision making and decision making in general needs to improve if he wants to make it here.
The game has slowed down for him so much now, after a year out on loan. He used to be more frantic at this U-21 level but now he is calmer and seems to have more time to pick his passing options now.
white text?
I would've integrated him into the team this season but it seems like he's going to go out on loan again. I think we lack midfielders with the profile of Mainoo and Hannibal. EtH quickly made a decision on James Garner and we moved him on, but it seems like Hannibal has impressed and will go out on loan.
McTominay for 8m would be great.
He is too good for that level. Wonder what are we going to do with him this season, another season of loan (preferably to a PL club)? or promote him on the bench?
I think it'll be a loan move for him.
He’s not good enough sadly. He’d be getting mins in the first team by now if he was. City/Chelsea would recoup nearly £20m if he was there - we’d be lucky to get £10m for him.
You do realise that he is only 20? Bruno at age was playing for a Serie C club.
Two or three times he makes a bad decision in a dangerous spot and gets away with it, whereas in the league he'd be dispossessed and give away a certain chance on goal. I think he has a lot of work to do to reach the first team.
There's definitely a feeling from some that if a player hasn't established himself with us once they're no longer a teen then they won't make it here.
