Really pissed off Fletcher got a run ahead of him. Fletcher is finished and this guy is the future yet he is left on the bench!

Sounds familiar? #Park #Pogba
Yep.
Ah the CAF.....disappointment at one young player not being given a chance is expressed as disappointment at another young player actually being given a chance. Makes sense that....
Ya I was just going to say he could be another Pogba. He looks a star in the making.
Not coming on at 3 0 at home when the game was won, future looks bleak I'm afraid. Shame was desperate to see him today.
Not as talented as Pogba but well I would say he's on the right track (if he's not going to leave us of course).
Possibly not although I think Pogba was helped by his physicality. Pereira is better on the ball (touch, passing, vision) IMO although there ain't much in it.
LVG puts him on the bench but seems very reluctant to use him.
Not like he hasn't had chances in matches where he's been on the bench.

Didn't we offer Pogba a contract which he declined to sign? Last I heard, Pereira hadn't been made any sort of offer. I think AP wants to stay but it isn't in his hands at the moment.
Hardly. With another game in 48hrs the priority was giving certain players a breather and easing the likes of Rafael back into the team. Pereira is obviously rated highly if he's making our bench at 18yo.Maybe not 100% the same situation but yeah i fear we will lose him.
He should have come on instead of Wilson
FFS as usual the caf paranoia continues.
Hardly? Regardless of age, if he was that highly rated he would have played today (didn't Newcastle start at 17 year old) and how many mins has Andreas played in the prem this year?
I'm sure if you look at our benches through the years we have had all sorts of players, so I don't read anything into that.
I'm gutted because it was a perfect opportunity, smacks of pogba all over again.
Carricks played a lot of minutes since coming back from injury and is a key man now in time, so understood that sub. Fletcher the only holding mid we had on the bench so made sense.
Falcao was never going to play the 90, so Wilson on was another obvious one though i would have preferred Adnan.
Finally with the priority surely to go back to 4 at the back in the next couple of weeks, Rafael needed a cameo after being out for 2 months and not getting on the last game.
We needed to play a holding midfielder when we were 3 0 up?
I'm not paranoid, i'm just realistic, if he was that highly rated by the management then why wasn't he brought on today? This was the only game we have dominated recently and I just thought he could have seen some action.
It's kind of like pogba, except instead of one of the best young CMs in the world it's a bizarrely inconsistent number 10.
AP doesn't deserve a place on the first team bench from what he did at under age, but clearly LVG is raising him up above that and letting him train with/travel with the first team. If LVG has taken an interest in him then he's in the best possible situation to make use of his talent, which in the first couple of years of his united career, apart from some nice youtube clips, looks to have been going to waste
fletch was a direct replacement to carrick for giving him a rest. so is the same for wilson/falcao swap. pereira would only sub either mata or rooney. as long as both of them were playing good probably this is preferable to keep them on the field since they both occupied key positions of the game. could've only watched the 2nd half and they both looked okay to me during the last 45 mins. so, nothing wrong there as mata has already smelt the pressure that he has to dedicate himself to the team play io just focusing in decorating his own statistics.
be patient, pereira will get his chance within the season. i'm convinced

We didnt need to but you know what Van gaal is like for systems. He's not gonna play 5-3-2 and not have a centre mid thats defensive minded. If Carrick gets injured its Fletcher that needs to be up to speed to replace him so it was a good chance to give him more minutes. Pereira's a player for the future, he'll not be in a panic right now to involve him. That he's makin the bench should be a sign that he's rated highly.
LVG knows a thing or two about nurturing young players.
Of course we still need it. One goal and they're be back in it. We need to keep shape and be solid. Not saying that I'm happy with Fletcher's substitution though.
Guessing he will be on the bench today. Would be great if he could get some game time.
Don't think Stoke away is the place for him to make his league debut.
Agreed.
Worrying that there's still no development regarding his contract extension.
In the media there isn't, we wouldn't have a clue what is going on behind closed doors.
Exactly. He could be eating a big, fat cake as we speak.
He will play against Yeovil guys he's only 19 lets see what he can do then.
Anderson v2.0?
To those who have watched him regularly this season, how has he done so far, and if he were to play against Yeovil, in what position would it be you reckon?
------------Carrick---------
---Herrera--------Pereira--
-----Di Maria--Rooney----
-----------Falcao-----------
Yeovil 5 - 6 Man Utd

I'd love him to start and he could slot in straight for Mata
a definite no 10. really want him to start
He has to start against Yeovil.
Good luck to him if he gets a run.
Nope... No Pereira today, irritating.
If he isn't injured or ill.......what a disgrace Anderson is on the bench and not Andreas
Looks like he'll be off in the summer
Anderson probably kept him out...
Really surprised/disappointed that he's not even in the squad.
