There's no evidence because it's total bollox.

Opposite seems to happen. Player has a good game, scores. Gets overconfident. Stops working hard. Leaves us a few years later.
Talking about Wilson?
Does CBJ actually still play for us?
Well said. I agree that he looked decent if not spectacular, his subsequent loans though don't seem to have worked out.
I reckon he'll have a decent career at championship level.
Depends which way you want to look at it, he was the most wanted young defender in the country when United signed him, he was progressing well in the first-team and it looked as though he'd become a mainstay in the team, but that changed after a horrid afternoon against Overmars in a must win game, the press destroyed him and certain sections of our fanbase writ him off as not good enough on the strength of one performance, he could have stayed and proved many people wrong, he certainly had the ability to, but he took the easy option and moved on.
Up until about 10 years ago i'd have agreed on the fans being more understanding with the Academy Grads, and rightly so, we took great pride in that, but there was a definitely seachange @ Old Trafford and now everybody is fair game, which is sad.
Never seen him play. Is he your typical modern day full back, in that he is good going forward?
Think he’s probably talking about someone but I can’t quite put my finger on who. Definitely not someone would have based their username on.
He's outstanding going forward, right footed but competent with his left, more likely to underlap and try and get a 25 yarder away with his right foot but he can put a decent cross in with his left if forced to go on the outside. Defensively he's still got a lot to learn, but then so has Luke Shaw.
Very good point.
Wilson, Januzaj, Macheda.
Yeah, he failed a trial at a Dutch club in July. Last year of his contract I think
Still at United. Borthwick-Jackson + Demetri Mitchell contracts expire next summer. Neither are on loan yet. But both did well on loan last year (played when they were fit). So I reckon there must be a demand for them. Left-footed left-backs as they are. Mystery why they are not on loan again when they're not in 1st team or U-23 squads. Perhaps Mitchell is still injured from last season?
Cheers.
Yeah he banged in a few crosses, does that make him utter shite? He was totally fine and yes...put in some good crosses. I'm not talking about his ability or what he's doing now, just that he wasn't shit at all.
This. He was good in those few appearances, didn't improve much when he was sent on loan, doesn't make his stint with us shite.
Called up for the England U20s. Gomes as well.
I thought he was Welsh
Most of the Welsh Squad are English born so I'm sure he was a option.

Including our own Daniel James.Reminds me a bit of Evra, but with rafael’s over exuberance.
This kid is class. He's much faster than he looks which I think catches people out big time.
Think he could be a great option to replace Young next year as Shaws back up.

Let's hope he can get some minutes in the europa and league cup to prove himself. It's unlikely though as Shaw, young, Rojo and Dalot will probably play ahead of him.
He reminds me of Ben Chilwell. Super high energy but a bit messy.
19 tomorrow. Same age as Max Aarons.
If we cant give hime game time, we should give him a loan in January. Will need competitive football soon.

Very right footed for a left back.
Like Irwin
Looks rapid, I’ve never seen him only the YouTube clips so it’s difficult to say form a view but I like his direct running and positivity.
Presume he can play both and R and L full back? Also looks tall enough for a centre half?
At 19, you’d be hoping for a chance in the first team if you were him.

Like Irwin
Hopefully he can take pens like Irwin, we’re short of pen taker at the moment!
Yeah, that's probably quite accurate. Would be great if he got to a similar level.
No comments on this guy tonight?
He did so well coming on into that sort of match and having a great debut.
Absolutely loved his positioning especially offensively, overlapped so well and drove with the ball which really helped us peg them back.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see him take over from shaw in a year or 2.

He shall start against Arsenal.
Where is comfortable on ? Left or right foot ?
Couple of long passes with right. Thought he was right footed

Did well, rather see him on the bench than Young but thats just me.
He is a clever little player. I love his overall style. I prefer his style to the one Shaw got. He is much more assured on the ball in the build up. He is quick to keep it simple and has all his heart into it when he commits. Attacked the ball and brought it forward with his chest to start the attack for our only goal, a great debut.
this 1000% I loved how he constantly bombed forward on the overlap. Its what we need against shit opposition. I wonder though if he can keep it up for a whole 90 minutes?
Also is he defensively sound?
First team quality.
Name-dropped this kid towards the end of last season in the matchday threads as an upgrade on Shaw, a solid 6½/7 out of 10 on debut last night, but if we can get the team on his wavelength, ie. give him the ball in stride, not static, he could revolutionise our left-flank overnight, it's just a pity Dan James(another right-footer)plays best currently on the left as we'd need a natural leftie ahead of him to get the best out of Williams, Chong, and i've a lot of time for the lad isn't the answer there, so it's up to the scouts to find us a flyer like Lee Sharpe until Deji Sotona(16) is ready, or we probably won't see the best of Williams which would be a waste.
