Any report on how he went? Get through?
Departed at half-time, replaced by Ben Pearson.
Got an assist for pereira, played well, clearly a level above especially physically. Came off at half time, hopefully means he'll play next weekend.
Is he still unfit for EPL? Anyway LvG might want to use Rojo as LB now because of his chemistry with Di Maria.
Shaw has tough competition ahead.
Shaw has tough competition ahead.
I can't see Shaw starting against Leicester if he can only manage 45 mins for the U21 side. LVG had mentioned during his pre-match press conference that Shaw couldn't play 90 mins against QPR.
Good for him to get 45 minutes under his belt, interesting that Januzaj played as well. How can Anderson play in an U21's game?
Rules allow for 3 over-age players + an over-age keeper (not 100% sure on the number). Vermijl is 22. Amos is 24. Last season Fletcher played several matches for the U21s.
Thanks for the info, I'd forgotten about Fletch playing games in the U21's to get his fitness levels up.
He could've easily completed 90, I think he was subbed to prevent any chance of injury, got some minutes and impressed, wouldn't be surprised to see him start this weekend.
3 over 21 allowed in the squad.he was shit even at this level
Lots of praise for pace/urgency/tempo di Maria has brought to the team. This boy will do the same.
Shaw will be world's best left-back, says Evans

If Di Maria and him can striker a understanding with Rooney drifting into that channel too that whole left side has potential to be lethal.

yes, guy is phenomenal.
No pressure!
Looking at his fashion sense you'd think he wasn't into football if you met him down the street. He looks like he'd be part of an indie band or something.
I'm sure Shaw will be very good, but that's a ridiculously bold claim from Evans.
I do have doubts over Shaw tbh but he's at the best club to fulfill his potential.
Still looks a little overweight, doesn't he?
Except he isn't overweight? He's built like an ox, he's a tank.
Yeah, a bit like Rooney I say. I can't believe he is a teenager!
He's not fat, he's big boned.
Would love to see a back four of Rafael - Evans - Rojo - Shaw tomorrow. I think if everyone is fit, that's our strongest back four. I know Evans has had a few shaky moments this year, but he is our best centre half.
He just isnt. Smalling is far better than Evans (defensively)
I hope Shaw starts on Sunday. I believe there will be a lot of media crap if he does not start. Plus I want to watch him start at LB and Rojo at CB.
I disagree.
He isn't overweight but he just has a bigger build than average. As such he has to look after his body and diet more carefully than the skinnier types like Di Maria and Herrera. Rooney and the Brazilian Ronaldo spring to mind. At their best physically they were brilliant but they could get out of shape easier than most players.
Yep I don't see how people cannot understand it. Shaw has a big ass and leg's naturally he is a big set guy. He will never be stick thin like Di Maria. He is powerfully set which is why he is fast and strong, but looks stupid in skinny jeans.
You cant. Evans is the huge weak link with his numerous brainfarts. 1 clearance for de Gea doesnt change that. Smalling is much better 1 vs 1, better in the air, has better sliding/tackle and reads the game better. Lets stop this discussion btw, should be in the other thread.
Smalling and Jones are better.
Thanks Amolbhatia. Apparently I can't have an opinion now.
If everyone is fit I want Evans in the team as I think he is our best centre half. You disagree. fine. However if anyone is wrong in any of this it's you claiming Evans is the huge weak link. You don't play the guts of 200 senior games for Manchester United if you're a huge weak link. Not when he's been in a team with Vidic, Ferdinand, Smalling and Jones. I know we've had our injury problems over the years but sorry, if he was a huge weak link he would have been shipped out. And I'm not basing anything on one incident with De gea. I'm basing it on having watched him play most of his 180 odd games for United.
You can't.
This weight thing has to stop. It's stupid.
I really don't understand how people can think Evans is our best CB. Jones is far better already and a few years younger. Only logical explanation for all the praise Evans gets on here is that he has multiple accounts on here.
