Our young wingers - how will they fare?

[Ibi Dreams]

We've got a pretty interesting situation on our hands with our wingers. We've got Sancho, Antony, Pellistri, Diallo, Garnacho and Elanga. Garnacho is 18 and the rest are 20-23 years old. Six young players, but none have truly cemented their place in the first team yet. You could say Antony has, but I'd say he's a special case as he was brought in as a former player of Ten Hag at a very high price. Many people have doubts about him.

My question is how do you think these players will end up? Let's say in 5 years time. Who will be the best, and who will have faded away?

This is my prediction for 5 years in the future, in 2028.

Garnacho > Diallo > Antony > Pellistri > Sancho > Elanga

1. Garnacho is already a shooting star but the fame and adulation will go to his head and he'll become unbearably arrogant and will end up at Real Madrid or PSG.
2. Antony will keep curling them into the far corner but will learn to pass to open team mates and become a solid but not spectacular inverted winger
3. Diallo will continue bulking up, lose pace but will grace the 10 position for a mid-table Premier League team (Leicester?)
4. Pellistri will continue working his balls off but will be frustrated with lack of chances at Utd and will move to a top team in the Spanish or Italian leagues.
5. Elanga will emerge as a hidden gem after he has left Utd for a mid-table Premier League or German side.
6. Sancho will move to a 10 role due to loss of pace, will struggle with consistency (some stellar matches, some anonymous ones) and will end up playing in Turkey.

It’s impossible to predict but I’ll be surprised if Elanga, Sancho or Pellistri make it at United unfortunately, whilst I don’t think Antony will ever live up to his price tag. Even Amad, as talented as he is, I worry that he’ll never get enough minutes to blossom here. He has a chance though.
I think Garnacho will be a first team player for years, with the potential to be one of the best attackers in the league if he keeps developing. There’s not many wingers around who are as direct and aggressive as he is in running at defenders with pace, and I think with a few years under Ten Hag, he’ll figure out how to use his attributes more effectively to become a consistent regular goal scorer.

I think Garnacho, Antony and Amad Diallo will be here for years.

I think Pellistri will end up mid table La Liga maybe. Sancho mid table PL cos no foreign clubs will be able to afford his wages, unless we can use him in Bellingham deal. Elanga I'm not sure, maybe midtable PL. Rangnick really rated Elanga but I don't think he's top quality

If I was a manager, I'd be excited to work with Amad
