Young should start instead of Memphis
Terrible today*, and he’s actually getting worse with each game. I think he needs to be dropped for a few games. The more he struggles the more he tries to do everything on his own.
It doesn’t get any easier than Sunderland.
*Usual disclaimer about how much potential he’s got blah blah blah.

Considering United are going to be playing mid-week games for a while, i'd either let him start on Wednesday and then rest him next weekend, or vice-versa.
Glad he got his goal today.

should be dropped from now on, YOung's miles better was more dangerous in his little cameo than Memphis in last 4 games.. Imagine Januzaj having chance to play week in week out like Memphis. The problem is he wouldn't never gets a chance like this...
People are ridiculously negative towards him.
Goal aside, that was pretty dire. Hes a positive player, and always looks to create something, but his decision making is just horrendous
He did have a chance like this and people were saying the same things.
So true and the same for Mata as well! If we are going to be a force again these two positions need upgraded.
I thought Memphis would kick on after he scored, instead his performance worsened in the second half. Its difficult to know what to do with him. He has the talent to play for United, he has shown that in Europe. The problem is he loses all composure in the Premier League. When Martial put Memphis through in the second half he really should have scored, and he let his head drop after that (which is a worrying tendency of his). It seems crazy that Martial has so much more composure than Memphis does. Young was much more dangerous from the left today.
Memphis is finding it a bit difficult at his early stages. At times he's brilliant but at times he's dire. Still, 4 goals and 4 assists in 11 games. Why are many being so critical?
At the end of the day he was crucial in scoring that first goal.

What? When did Januzaj was allowed to play almost 12 consecutive games from the wing despite being average most of the time?
Did seem intent on trying to beat at least 3 defenders, typically in a confined space. Surprised he wasted that great chance supplied by Martial.
I like him but that wasn't a good performance.

Poor again. I think a rest would benefit him greatly.
Young does deserve to be starting ahead of him.

Needs to be dropped to the bench. He's been terrible and does not deserve to be starting ahead of Young.
Januzaj received a chance early in the season where he started about 4 or 5 games in a row. I'm a huge Adnan fan, but he didn't do better than Memphis in that time according to the caf. The same attributes, "wasteful" "poor decision making", "has the talent but needs to be polished", were given to him.
How will dropping him allow him to adapt to the league? It will be Di Maria all over again should we do that.
I don't get why people think Young is better. Depay makes a lot of mistakes, yes, but he's far more productive than Young ever was for us.
Martial has had a perfect start to his United career so far to be honest. Watch his body language when things aren't going well for him for a few games before you compare it. Memphis has struggled so far in the BPL and being an ambitious guy, something like bottling a great chance will piss you off, especially if you're young and eager to prove yourself.
Young doesn't score goals. Memphis has bagged four in all competitions and it's still September.
I find some of short-sightedness surrounding this lad baffling. It's all there. He's getting into goalscoring positions, contributing towards goals in just about every game and poses a real positional threat to defenders due to his movement (which is truly exceptional).
Sure, he makes mistakes and he makes wrong decisions, but that's part and parcel of having the bravery to send out kids to lead the line for Manchester United. And when it pays off the rewards will be great.
Bring him on when we are winning where he'll have more gaps and less pressure. Young has been very good every time he's started on the left and should be our starter ahead of Memphis
It's stupidity, more or less.
The same reason people wanted Januzaj benched and now that he's out on loan, a lot are crying for him to be back here. There's an insane negativity towards young players around here, but I suppose the likes of Bebe and Macheda have contributed massively towards that.
Glad he's got his first premier league goal. Hopefully he can kick on from here and produce better displays in the prem.
seriously...the guy scores a goal and all you see are posts about him being shit...on a day when we've topped the league...what a miserable bunch of people on here.
no doubt he could've done better, should've scored a 2nd goal as well, but regardless of that and how shit he presumably is, he still creates chances and you can see he's one of the players that can change the game by himself, there's no coincidence he's being doubled a lot.
4 goals, 4 assists in 11 games by a player that's "terrible"? doesn't make sense...and he's only going to get better.

He's overdoing it too often I feel, maybe the arrival of Martial has exacerbated this aspect as he's not the shiny new toy anymore, but getting a goal will be a boost for him and hopefully he can start to use his brain a bit more in the final third.
Thought he was very average besides the goal. He is a long term purchase and thus getting the starts otherwise it should be Young starting over him.
Good goal for him. Decision-making and finishing really erratic again but meh, he should improve.
yeah..the Young fecks up and you'll be shouting for Memphis to come on..sheesh
He tries to hard, he needs to relax and simply play football.
Funny that a lot of people are just quick to point to stats and say how productive Mata is, while Memphis is terrible and needs dropping 
I believe in him long-term but at the moment he needs to be dropped.
Bringing on Young against tired legs is deceiving quite a few on here. If Young did get the nod ahead of him I'm damn sure you all would be calling for Memphis to come back into the starting 11.
He had a good game in my opinion. He should have squared back to Martial for his chance though. He was more direct today which is positive to see.

Thought he played well today. Final ball inconsistent and is obviously a young promising player, but he wasn't poor by any means. Improved in the second half as well IMO. The first goal will be a huge boost for him I think as well, as he was lacking a bit of confidence. The dribbling and going past players bit was a lot better today then last week though.
Memphis doesn't have stats to back him up though, not in the league anyway. Today was his first goal/assist in it.Funny that a lot of people are just quick to point to stats and say how productive Mata is, while Memphis is terrible and needs dropping
Eh? What the feck are you on about? I have been saying for a while now that Young got a hard deal. Memphis didn't do anything to take his spot especially in the league. Had I been saying it based on 1 game, tonight would be a shit game to pick seeing as he scored.
The exact same can be said for Young, is that why hes looking deceiving good because were bringing him on when we're winning, have more gaps and less pressure running at tired legs?
Which game of Young's are you referring to?
Yeah, a bit over the top, but if you focus solely on his league games, he really has been quite disappointing so far.
He will get better but Martial looks streets ahead of him on the ball.
