In your opinion. Options off the top of my head...

Amad, Hannibal, Greenwood, Pellistri, Isak Hansen-Aarøen, Shoretire, McNeill..

Let’s see your thoughts and see how they age in a few years.

Between these two, pretty tight though.

It is a toss up between Amad and Diallo...


I have some worries about Greenwood. Feel like he could go either way still. Amad I haven't seen enough of yet. I like the look of Hannibal when I have seen him play, he seems to have the talent to be a star.

One of Amad or Diallo I reckon.

Probably Greenwood or Amad. I'm going with Greenwood. But that's only because he's the closest to realising it.

You missed Hugill.

From what i've seen in the youth forum, Hannibal and Shoretire are the most talked about.

Greenwood has already shown hes more than capable during last season. Hes had personal issues this year which have stunted his game this year. Expect him to kick on again next year.
I dont think you spend £37m on a youngster to not believe he will be a decent player so expect Diallo to come good once Ole trusts him enough to start.

Greenwood has showed massive potential so far but we still can't say for certain if he will turn out to be that much better than Rashford and Martial.

Maybe he will just reach a similar level to them. Or maybe he will be England's next great number 9.

I´ll keep Greenwood outside, as he can´t longer be regarded as a youth player.

We have a few great talents, but if I had to put my money on one player to be a star, I´d say Pellistri.

Greenwood easily, then probably Diallo.

We can't know for certain with most players regardless.

Greenwood is hard to predict. He’s not really a RW and if we do go all out and buy a striker like Haaland he won’t play much through the middle.

Amad probably has the clearest pathway to the first team.

Greenwood definitely but needs the spark to return soon

Agree.. Greenwood is a difficult one. His talent is undisputed, but he will never be a Sancho on RW and not a striker like Haaland. What kind of player do we think he becomes?

I'd probably give Greenwood the edge but I think it'll be a close run thing between him and Amad

Not enough Willy in here.

Amad and Hannibal. Greenwood’s already in the first team, so he’s already ahead of the rest by some distance.

Greenwood, Amad, Hannibal then a gap then Shola then I'd say the rest are a good bit below these currently.

Greenwood for sure. He is going to be insane in a few years, providing he keepa his head down. I know this season has been hit and miss for him but talent is permanent. This year he haa bulked up a bit, he looks more comfortable in the league but now need to buckle down and focus on becoming the best. Amad is second i think.

Greenwood because he’s the closest to realising the potential and until you do it’s never a sure thing. Plus scoring goals is the hardest thing to do in football and he seems a natural.

Diallo might have more raw ability with the ball though.

Exciting times regardless of the answer.

I'm just going to add Garner to the discussion. Talent wise I rate him only behind Greenwood in his age group. His loan at Forest is going pretty well I would say.

The man could literally save us tens of million in the transfer market if he makes the step up in the next year or two. Personally I think potential wise he might be at least on Carricks level. He has the brain, he's more mobile. He just needs more experience.

At the moment I'd say it's between Greenwood, Hannibal and Lingard

Hard to say, we've seen so much more of Greenwood. With youngsters who haven't even seen the first team bench yet it's such a lottery.

Greenwood, anyway. Got absolutely everything, and in spades.

Greenwood, not the least worried about him this season - never been so confident in a player.

Hannibal on talent looks the one that'll take the Premier League like a duck to water. He plays with the right arrogance and style that can't be coached, either you have what Hannibal has or you don't. Bar a couple good games and that cameo against Milan there's really not much to go on Amad but signs are good, I do think we are managing him right.

Few of my non-United friends think Greenwood was a flash in the pan, but they are only looking at the goals column. While I don't think he's necessarily improved overall on last season there have certainly been parts of his game that have developed. I still think he's going to be a massive star and a goal machine.

Amad of course also has huge potential, and whenever I see Hannibal he looks to have the passing range and a certain swagger about him that suggests he's also likely to reach a high level

Very curious about Hugill and where he will be in 3-4 years
Yeah, everyone is expecting him to fill out but he may just end up being a bit like Crouch with an awkward lanky physique. McNeil is another one that looks interesting with his goal record, out of the two strikers I'd wager on McNeil making it but tough to call.

What shirt size would that be? Looks very customised and not something you’d find in the store.

Personally I think it's a blessing in disguise that without the goals racking up like last season, non-United fans have forgotten about him or written him off as overrated. Eases the pressure, takes the media spotlight off him and lets him develop at a more natural pace. Watching him every game, United fans can see that he's getting better all the time and the lack of goals is more of a fluke than anything else.

Greenwood is going to be a star, but Shoretire is going to be special. That is not to say that United are not blessed with some other really good young talent at the moment.

Greenwood will be the man to displace many of Shearer’s records. He’ll be the Premier League’s biggest ever goalscored by the time he retires and that’s not my opinion . Thats just facts

Hopefully Ethan Laird can force his way into the conversation before the end of the season.

It would be great if that's the case, but it's not a fact is it?
