Considering he was 17 at the time, if that's the worst thing he's done then cool. He doesn't sound like a knob, just sounds natural for a young easily influenced kid with a lot of talent.

is powell better than when sharpe was at torquay?
So he won the penalty? He'll do for me, we've nothing to teach him in that respect then.
MUTV's David Stowell: Fergie says 'Nick Powell is a few days behind schedule so won't play yet'. Seems a bit odd considering he was with the first group to return to pre-season, unless he's had a knock or something. At least we're not short on CMs on tour.
Slightly concerning - hope we're not covering him up from media scrutiny...
He's shit and Fergie is delaying playing him, so we can sell a few more season tickets.
I'll just pretend we spent the 4mil on Lingard instead.
Don't forget he played in League 2 playoffs + final a week or two after the Premier League finished.
Already looking for problems? 
He's 18. Not all players we had on the bench played. Heck, even Kagawa got very few minutes.

He needs obviously more training. Cant be compared to L2 plus he is still inly 18
Don't forget that the training of Man Utd will be much, much more intense than 95% of clubs in the world. Nick might be finding it hard to adjust to the training so early, considering he was playing and training at a very low level just months ago.
Or he's completely shit and we're just making excuses for him already, I know which story I believe.
Great. Let's write off an eighteen year old before him even kicking the ball for us. Well done.
My mates have all gotten in slanging matches with him before on twitter. It's all harmless stuff!
It was a humour fail, that's all. Quite how it was supposed to succeed I don't know, but it's what people do.
Oh, in my defence it's tough knowing whether people are being sarcastic or not when you are posting at 5 am in the morning.
Sell.
We're doomed.

Play the kid in-front of Carrick and Scholes
Lets give the kid a chance first!
How many on here do you reckon saw Sharpe play for Torquay?
What everyone think about his first mini appearance in the red shirt?
Very Raw, just that nice 1-2 shot, but he still doesn't look that confident on the ball yet.
Looked alright. I honestly think once the subs are made not much can be learned.
Still? It was his first game.
Yeah, agreed. A couple of nice touches etc, but overall the whole team looked disjointed (which was expected after all the subs).
Kinell if they arent player of the year out of the womb people dont give them a chance.
What position did he play?
can tell he wasn't used to having defensive responsibilities as he didn't seem to track midfield runners. Offensively he looked good though.
Couple of good moments. he looks very confident to me and was looking to pick people out.
Has a little swagger about him imo. Would like to see him get more minutes there and see how he deals with players attacking through the centre. Good composure as was expected.
There is definitely a bit of Beckham about him in terms of attitude.
The bit where he was at the corner flag and managed to get out and find another United player was impressive.
Guess he'll take Pogba's place in the squad. Close to the first team. Involved in the first team squad quite a bit.

Centre mid.
we made so many changes just as we were on top, it really gave ajax confidence to push forward and so it was hard for Powell but he did one or two nice things
The result is irrelevant anyways. Was a competitive game and made us wok for it, that's all we can ask
Let's say you'd expect a Ronaldo debut after what SAF said, but didn't have the confidence of an 18 year old Ronaldo to me, looked nervous and unconfident, but I didn't say that he played badly or anything... Just my first impression, no harm done.
Who does? I didn't see the game so I can't really comment on his performance, but he's made a huge step up in class from Crewe to United. I hope people will remember that and cut him some slack when he falls short of expectations; as he surely will for some.
What exactly did you expect?
