Although Januzaj didn't have the best of games yesterday, I think he was better when he was played deeper in the second half. We'll struggle again if he's played up front because a) He's our best player creatively and get's things going, and b) when he's up front he doesn't work the CB's at all in behind.
I'd even consider playing Lawrence or someone to keep stretching them by running in behing the defence.

It looks like it is Everton's U21s and Newcastle's U21s that have won groups 1 and 2 respectively and will play each other for the right to face the Elite Group winner Tottenham in the other Semi Finals.
Of course we also have the opportunity to play 3 over aged players. I hope someone will be keeping an eye on the Liverpool team bus to see if Suarez, Gerrard and Reina get on, so we can bring Persie, Rooney and De Gea along.
But really I'd rather both teams stick to their U21 squad.

MUTV coverage starts at 6:30 PM BST, today.
So freaking watch it, you slogs!

Should be a great crowd today. Even more so when Fergie made it a point to mention it in his speech yesterday. Would be a great lift for the youngsters.
Cant see any of our hungover, beer-soaked lads playing today somehow!
How much is it to get in?
We were unlucky to lose against Spurs. Had two great chances in the second half but missed them and cruelly lost to a late goal.
Man, where is Nick Powell? Is he taking a break from football or something? Not in the reserves, not in the U21s, not in the first team.
Going by his last picture on Twitter he may have had an operation, seems to be in hospital.
So it's a one off game and not over 2 legs?
Yes
Wow, yeah bizarre. Must be elective - he was on the golf day last week!
Amos, Vermijl, Thorpe, M Keane, James, Charni, Tunnicliffe, Cole, Januzaj, Lawrence, Lingard
Subs A Pereira, Sutherland, Pearson, Wilson, Grimshaw
Good to see Andreas Pereira making the bench

Ah, balls anyway. In all the singing and dancing about winning the league, Fergie retiring, Rooney's carry-on and then the parade yesterday, I completely forgot about this. Been waiting for a chance to catch the kids at Old Trafford since Burnley knocked the Youths out of the Cup a few months back.
Michael Keane back in to sure things up at the back.
Great news about Pereira. The kid is a huge talent. He's still a first year for the Academy yet seems to have been picked for the u21 bench ahead of Daehli and Barmby, which just shows how highly rated he must be.

Sama starts. Excellent.
Pereira!
The future is bright.

The ref is a big lad.

Penalty to United. Sama again. He must hate United. Cole scores. 1-0
Always exciting these games!
Nice pen!
One nil
Ref is a right porker

I hope that Pereira gets some minutes.
Au contraire.
pen again, cole again, 2-0
2-0. A second penalty well taken by Cole.
Januzaj having a good game.
Flanagan, you dozy-looking cnut. Confident pen from Larnell again.
Januzaj looks very impressive thus far.

Januzaj looks very talented, tricky little player.
Two excellent penos by Cole, too, especially the second.

Their lad Jordan Ibe is very highly rated isn't he?
Wasn't Scouseface the one who got the og the other week?
There will be a red card in this for certain
First penalty highly debatable, not sure on second one either. Ref looks totally unfit, would like to see Coady's tackle again, might have been lucky to get away with that.
United passing the ball around a lot better.
