Not at the expense of pushing youngsters too soon...Madness. We still need to try and win matches. Right back at ya!

These clubs don't develop players for other clubs. They would much rather give their own players a chance then develop someone for us.Then I'd be aiming to send him somewhere like Ajax or Dortmund asap. You've only got to look at Sancho to see the benefits that playing abroad can bring.
Not really a valid reason for a young players development, he's doing fantastic, no need to rush.There's a bigger picture here though isn't there. You've only got to look at Rooney to see how a player who starts early can burn out early too. Most players only have a certain amount of mileage it seems.
But I'd definitely be aiming to give Greenwood some minutes in the first team over the next few games, if nothing else to keep the feelgood factor going. We've also got a congested schedule so if he could take 5-10 minutes here and here, it could really help the likes of Lukaku and Rashford.

Really? Let's see you make one..I could make a compilation video of half the kids in our academy that would make them look better than both those players. Comparing player's via Youtube is complete nonsense.
Given we have one of the best records for developing talent in the world...not sure there is a good reason to send our best talent abroad. We have never done it before.There's a bigger picture here though isn't there. You've only got to look at Rooney to see how a player who starts early can burn out early too.

Indeed, let Greenwood be Greenwood.Can you guys calm down and stop comparing every kid with Mbappe. Guy is a freak and what he did at such young age is just remarkable.
Didn’t we loan a bunch of people to Antwerp in the 00s? Granted not our very “best”... but still. There is some precedent.Given we have one of the best records for developing talent in the world...not sure there is a good reason to send our best talent abroad. We have never done it before.

Yeah but they weren't successful. Think Cofie went along with a few others.Didn’t we loan a bunch of people to Antwerp in the 00s? Granted not our very “best”... but still. There is some precedent.
Slightly different as we had an ongoing relationship with them. Secondly, we never loaned out our top talents there at all.Didn’t we loan a bunch of people to Antwerp in the 00s? Granted not our very “best”... but still. There is some precedent.
O'Shea, Evans, Cathcart, Shawcross, Gibson, Simpson, Campbell, Ebanks-Blake, Heaton, Bardsley and Higgingbottom went there. All had excellent careers.Yeah but they weren't successful. Think Cofie went along with a few others.
I'd say excellent is probably an overstatement for a lot of those but those two in particular in bold. The level of football would've been rubbish so cant say how beneficial it would've been.O'Shea, Evans, Cathcart, Shawcross, Gibson, Simpson, Campbell, Ebanks-Blake, Heaton, Bardsley and Higgingbottom went there. All had excellent careers.
They had excellent careers, all things considered. Not every player can be a world beater. Ebanks-Blake made 76 PL appearances and Gibson made 94 PL appearances.I'd say excellent is probably an overstatement for a lot of those but those two in particular in bold. The level of football would've been rubbish so cant say how beneficial it would've been.
Evans was easily the best talent who went out there. Fraizer Campbell very good too, don't remember if Rossi went, don't think so?I'd say excellent is probably an overstatement for a lot of those but those two in particular in bold. The level of football would've been rubbish so cant say how beneficial it would've been.
We loaned out a total of 29 players to Antwerp.O'Shea, Evans, Cathcart, Shawcross, Gibson, Simpson, Campbell, Ebanks-Blake, Heaton, Bardsley and Higgingbottom went there. All had excellent careers.
Look on Instagram, most of the academy are on there.Really? Let's see you make one..
I still don't see a vid of anyone looking more impressive than Shoretire.Look on Instagram, most of the academy are on there.
I can only find the five touches against Valencia and a clip from U13s.. Links please.I still don't see a vid of anyone looking more impressive than Shoretire.
Lets hope that him and Chong not playing with the u23 tonight is a good sign and that they (or at least 1 of them) will be included in Saturdays squad.Solskjær on youth: “If you’re good enough you’re old enough. I really hope I can be apart of that tradition. There’s some great youngsters coming through.” [mutv]
I had a thought yesterday that it'd be awesome if the two of them alternate starts for the next few matches, with the other replacing them after 60 minutes or so.Lets hope that him and Chong not playing with the u23 tonight is a good sign and that they (or at least 1 of them) will be included in Saturdays squad.
Today is Friday?Think Greenwood might come of the bench tomorrow to make his debut.
Probably i think we were close to that anyway with Greenwood and now we'll want the added positivity. I just hope he isn't rushed into it for the sake of a managers briefThink Greenwood might come of the bench tomorrow to make his debut.
I meant Saturday, sorry...Today is Friday?
Depends on how you measure excellence I suppose.They had excellent careers, all things considered. Not every player can be a world beater. Ebanks-Blake made 76 PL appearances and Gibson made 94 PL appearances.
I think it’s more they’re comparing 17 year-old, hadn’t even played a first team match Kylian Mbappe to Greenwood, and speculating as to whether the latter might follow in Mbappe’s path. Nothing wrong with that.People are seriously comparing World Cup Winner Kylian Mbappe to Hasn't even played a first team match Mason Greenwood? 'kin hell this forum sometimes
I think so tooHe will make his debut this season.

I've seen people say it but I didn't know whether to take it seriously, I can definatley see the RVP comparisons after watching that complilation.its been said multiple times, but to me its so freakish how much he resembles RvP in his play style
Good call, very similar gait and play style. He seems really good off both feet as well.its been said multiple times, but to me its so freakish how much he resembles RvP in his play style
