    Young has been one of our best performers this season and hardest working players. He’s worth every inch of his place in the line up and to stake a place for next weekend.

    Feck off Mourinho. Don't care what he said or didn't say before the game, he should be giving youths a chance today rather than playing deadwood.

    In fairness, which of the other teams are playing their kids today?

    People can be disappointed. Acting indignant and outraged and downright privileged self righteous idiots over a bloody line up a week before the cup final might be best avoided.

    Forum needs an upgrade, most of the season has been insufferable to read. Worst standard of posting since I’ve been a member

    Wouldn't the inclusion on youth, for example, be a prime method to preserve first team players in lieu of the cup final on the horizon? I think you're being harsh on some others. Clearly, the sentiment behind some fervent posting is well-placed given this game has no stakes?

    Young is a guaranteed starter for next weekend, not really staking a place.
    De Gea, Valencia, smalling, probably Jones, young, pogba, matic, Herrera, Sanchez and Lukaku. And probably lingard. Theres not really any spot that's open for anyone to take.
     
    BBC equating this to when Van Nistelrooy did something similar in the final 05/06 season. Never played for the club after that.

    Think this is a bit of a leap, but all does not look good.
     
    All the excuses being made for Mourinho right now - it's literally what Chelsea fans said time and time again. Prime situation to at least throw them on the bench, Mourinho prefers to use experienced squad players on their way out. They made excuses for him every time he ignored them and we laughed. Now hes doing it here.

    Its the last day of the season. Game means nothing. Hes resting almost all the players who will start next weekend. Why play someone who will leave the club soon instead of promising youngsters?
     
    just relax and say thanks and bye to last of them:

    Mou is managing expectations, he is showing the board how poor we are and how much transfer money he needs by picking these poor teams.
     
    Heh, fecking hell, Jose really knows how to please the fans. Starting with several players that aren't good enough for this club and that are likely to leave this summer, while not including even one promising youngster in a dead rubber game.

    it's fecking weird is what it is. We're playing a dead rubber game and he's using players who we know are rubbish and will 99% be gone in the summer, and not playing any youth.

    Any manager, not just Jose, would be criticized for this. Yet Mourinho's fans on here see it as a big personal attack on him by everyone.

    If Jose decided to field 10 players instead of playing a youngster the reaction on here would probably be "yeah well c'mon, Jose is a tactical genius and probably thinks we'll do better the 4-4-1 formation guyz so stop picking on him!"

    McTominay is starting in midfield.
     
    Desperate emails from Utd the past two days trying to sell tickets for this match, and then Jose goes and picks this side? Slap in the face to fans and the money they paid.

    Seriously. The excuses and backtracking regarding all things Mourinho are pathetic. It's fine if you dont want to start a youngster. But to not have one on the bench? fecking criminal.

    Firstly like feck he was, 2nd if we play 4 at the back he isnt in line up as LB.

    Mctominay is also turning 22 this year and is 6'4".... probably the reason Mourinho trusted him at all this season. Still young, but not what most people think of when they think of promising youngsters.
     
    No Martial has killed my little interest in this game,hope he hasn’t played his last game for us

    Didn't realise that, but still. Final match of a United season that means nothing has, historically, been about a few debuts. No longer!

    Care to explain when final match being debuts for youth? I dont even remember Fergie doing that. You rambling about nothing there
     
    Reading between the lines, I think the answer to he retort, "well, McTominay is starting, isn't he?" is not merely that a player from the youth team should play, but rather, "we want to see one of our precociously talented and exciting young players get a chance".
     
    Young definitely looks like like he's been thrown in at last moment. Clearly it was suppose to be

    ------Rash----
    Martial--Sanchez---Mata

    Shame we don't get to find out how good it could be.
