It's because Moyes has plans to use him in CL Groups.

If a youngster plays in the youth league then he can only play in two matches in the mains Champions League.
You've got that the wrong way round I think.. If he plays in 2 matches in the UCL he will no longer be eligible for the Youth CL

Yep, you're right.

I stand corrected then.

Maybe the coaching staff thinks that it's a step down for Januzaj?

OK that makes sense then!

Grimshaw looks really promising in his natural position. Pearson, Pereira and Wilson are impressive too. Rothwell was a bit quiet.

Need to sort our defending tho, two very sloppy goals to concede.

Probably because we have so many players who need game time at this level and who have been playing as a unit in all the pre season friendlies and would benefit more from playing in this type of game than Januzaj would

This is awesome. For all the things UEFA get wrong, this is a great idea.

This Leverkusen side couldn't be more German. Strong, classy and effective.

Had to watch the game online via Eurosport Italia.

The commentator has been mentioning Adnan Januzaj every other minute. It's a bit irratating.

Pearson should make it at United, such an intelligent player.

He was easily my favourite player last season after Januzaj, I think the kid has great potential and has that real bite about him.

Might be a little harsh, but keeper looked like he could do better there.

Terrible start to the second half taking Grimshaw out of the holding role has made him completely ineffective, very strange decision. Weir having a bit of a nightmare here as well. Easy to see McNair isnt a natural central defender hes looked good on the ball but repeatedly caught out of position

Okay, Harrop coming on.

Now I'd like us to score 2 goals and not concede.

Okay, that's the first of my goals I asked for. At least one more now please.

Gutted, from a chance after a good run from Wilson to a red card at the other end for McNair.

Penalty! Wilson just has so much pace.
