Yeah but Herrera was still sat on the bench whilst Fletcher made those appearances.
Its his first season and obviously needs time to figure stuff out but with so few minutes he isn't even getting an opportunity to do so, even more incredible is that he's only started 2 matches while at times we've resorted to playing players out of position. Anyways, the sheer lack of minutes that Januzaj(who has proven he has the goods) and Pereira(who is talented to the heavens) have gotten is astonishing really.
He actually is, so what if he has only started 2 matches? He needs to be eased in, and if he starts and plays poorly why should he start the next game? I think he is being eased in pretty well at the moment, don't see a problem with that.
Januzaj - Yes I agree on that one. I'm hoping he plays more from now given his decent performance in the last game.
With Pereira - Well the fact Herrera is also struggling for game time, I'm not suprised hes not been getting a chance, would have liked to see him involved a bit more instead of Fletcher, however Fletcher is now going, so he may get his chance.
lol amazing retort considering what the consequences of these actions can be. We should know from experience that if you dick around with these young players' careers they are going to ditch us and find a new better home elsewhere. Now i don't have a problem with a young player being deemed not good enough to cut the grade here however i do have a problem with a really talented youngsters development being stalled for no reason. If we really do believe that these lads have it in them to one day cut the grade we need to make a bigger effort to get them onto the pitch or this story wont have a happy ending. Whats even more disappointing is the fact that the experienced big money players on our books aren't really showing their worth either so perhaps the opportunity is there to give them more of a run out, look what a leap of faith did for Sterlings career.
Such thinking makes no sense to me.
With Fletcher leaving and Carrick out surely he has to come into Van Gaal's thinking now.
All the mins Wilson has got will have helped him a lot coping with the demands of adult football. Most players are sent on loan to make that adjustment, Wilson has been given the oppertunity to do it at home. He's played more minutes than Harrison Reed, a 20 year old midfielder at Southampton. I thought they were supposed to be the masters of bringing youth through but Wilson has played more than he has.
Januzaj hasnt proven anything of the sort, he had half a season of good form and you obviously need to do more than that to be a first teamer at United. And Pereira is less talented than for example Ander Hererra, so talk about a gross exaggeration
Exactly, and he needs more minutes. Not 17 mins here, 20 there. Reeds mins are saturated to a specific period in time, Wilson has been part of the team for some time now. The other thing is we don't really know how highly rated he is at Southampton but we've certainly seen in recent times that if someone is highly rated they'll get the mins to progress and generally do so. Being that young and being arguably the best outfield player at the club for a period of time is proving allot for a player in their first season. Certainly enough to warrant being given more game time that he has been this season. We'll have to agree to disagree on who's more talented between Pereira and Hererra.
I think you just need to talk the Scholesy goggles off
If I'm being honest Reed's talent isn't comparable to Wilson.
Neither is his competition. Wilson has to be chosen over Falcao, RVP or possibly even Rooney. Reed can compete for 3 spots in midfield and only Schneiderlin is among the best CMs in the league.
Exactly, Wilson is doing well, hes been picked ahead of Falcao a few times already this seasonn (when Falcao has been fit)
Hes developing well, needs to play a lot better when he gets his chances, but he seems to have every opportunity to make a real name for himself here between now and the end of the season, if he takes his chances.
Is he injured? Thought he would be at least on the bench today?
Played for the U21s last night.
Ah cool cheers mate. Still hoping to see him get a 1st team chance.
I hope we keep him, I think he can be a choice for the RM role in the diamond.
Every piece of positive attacking play for us in this current U21 game has come through him, we need to re-sign him.
Involved in both our goals tonight and was easily our best player. His free-kick took a deflection for the goal but his delivery on the one that Thorpe headed in was excellent.
Watching the game now on MUTV - really hope we see him making some progress into the first team this season. He's been so good in this one, against probably the toughest side in the U21 league.
He carries that attitude of 'give me the ball and something will happen' with him. He is definitely a prospect.
He wouldn't be any worse than Rooney in midfield.
He's going to leave in the summer, and go tear it up elsewhere isn't he.

99corriganHD has uploaded a vid of him, looked very impressive. He's pretty wasteful in his passing at times (similar to another very good midfielder in first team) but when dribbling, it looks like you cant snatch the ball of him, shields the ball very well and is a very good kick tacker (is this a word?).
free kick taker would be the correct word.
Yes his ball in for Thorpe was beautiful, to be honest he would be the best corner and free kick taker in the team IMO, his effort from 30 yards was unlucky to be saved too, that curve
I really don't see how he could do a worse job than Rooney or Herrera in midfield, I hope he get's a game from the bench soon, or even in the cup.
Aah seems logical.free kick taker would be the correct word.

Nothing new from him last night to be honest. Hes been at that all season. If we do lose him I'll begin to question what's going on with the club in many respects. When he made the bench early on in the season I was convinced that was the beginning of his emergence. Such a shame given the dross we've had to watch in there this year.
Since no contract has been signed yet, LVG probably wont give him a spot on the bench either. I hope we keep him and he gets more playing time
He's a lovely little player, I really hope that he'll be given some minutes soon.. or else he'll bugger off in the summer.
Some one needs to have a word, tie him down to a contract and get him a good loan deal somewhere
Yes, he plays with a lot of confidence and also a bit a spiky temperament which he'll need to protect himself if he gets the chance to play as a CM in the PL. I honestly think he's at the point where he's gotten all he can out of U21 level football, he needs to start getting minutes in the main squad like Wilson, McNair and Januzaj.
Would love it if he would extend his deal, but he wont get a lot of minutes in the first team if that is the reason why he hasnt signed yet. We have Ander who barely gets a look in.
We need to make the lad feel like he has a future with us. Trouble is we are heading in to the business end of a season where we need to finish in the top 4 so opportunities in the first team will be really tough for him to get. I hope we can keep him.
I just wondered what the general consensus was on here, is this lad going to sign or not?
Still a tad surprised he hasn't had any minutes myself.

Not looking good really is it?. He came on and impressed against MK dons when everybody else looked rubbish, then hasn't had a look in since.
He's done pretty well in all the reserve games I have seen too, I really don't understand why he hasn't had a chance - especially in our midfield.
By now he's probably negotiating with other teams, so unless we can persuade him I think he is gone
I do think the club isn't going to give him a chance unless he signs a contract with the club. While maybe Pereira himself would prefer to be given a chance before signing the contract.
I don't think he'll sign.
I don't think he'll sign.
He seems quite a talent, lets face it we're still not blessed with players in the midfield surely throwing him in here and there wouldn't hurt.
Think that's a very good shout.
Be gutted if he doesn't.
Don't understand why we bother chasing these youngsters, we apparently beat a lot of clubs to both Andrea and Pogba, yet when they are on the verge of breaking through we don't seem to fully commit.
I'd be very annoyed if we let him go.
Give him a 18 month contract, and if he succeeds bump his contract up. I'd hate to lose him.
