Considering depth seems to be coming from youth - who exactly do we have? Carrick probably can't sustain another year there & Herrera-schneirdlin won't work all the time.
He played at LB for the U-21's a few weeks back.. Was very good actually, I think Van Gaal was in the stands for that game. Might have been against Norwich, I think he scored a goal in that game as well
I'm talking about the remainder of the season.. If we bring in Mourinho next season, I'm leaning towards the probability that we won't see most of these kids pay for United again
Well i hope we get a different mourinho or a different manager all together.
That pass raised my blood pressure a little too much for my own good. His stature reminds me of a young Pogba.
That may not end up being his best position, but thats where he played at ajax/holland, if im not mistaken. I recall the first youtube clip of him after we got him and he was playing at leftback. I think he played mostly central defence at ajax though.
I think Khoazany said once that he usually plays fullback for the Netherlands, not sure if on the left or right. I think it'll be where he gets most of his early chances in the first team.
When I watched him playing for u18 (or u17's) for Holland he was the right hand CB in a 3 man defense. He's only played the last few games at u21 at full back as well. Looked very comfortable though, had a lovely bursting run through the middle at one point. Delighted for his debut. I'm kind of shocked RoShaun and Axel Tuanzebe haven't made their debuts yet, as I'd have fancied them to get played ahead of Riley, Weir and Poole. Arguably two of our best talents yet to play for us still.
Roshaun Williams is youngest of the lot by a bit though impressive.
I think TFM is ahead of them at the moment in that position (if he's used there). Tuanzebe did get called to the bench a couple times. I think it's a little too early for Williams though. Maybe next season.
Yeah true. All 3 of them are good tacklers, extremely quick and more than decent on the ball. It really could be a complete defense in a few years if all the boys progress smoothly.
He would have a legacy just with martial & memphis anyway. I rekon he is finishing his job quickly incase it's his last season.LVG brought him on ahead of Riley strangely at LB.
Seemed to me he wants to give debuts to as many youngsters as possible so he can have some sort of legacy.
Anyway did decently. But he isn't a LB at all.

He doesn't really say that. He says we have problems at full-back and that is why he wanted to see if he could play there and now he has.
The first part of the quote 'I was thinking for a long time that he could play better as a fullback' seems to give me that vibe.
Yeah, he can play anywhere across the back line also #6. He can play all roles well. He's a solid footballer. Jackson is also a solid players, he can play CB and FB does both well. They are both young too with a great future ahead.
That doesn't really mean long term though. I think it is more the long time hes been thinking about is the last few months where he told Joyce to play TFM at fullback.
