Hah ! Love this comparison.
Gotta say, some interesting English prospects in this club, coming through.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss three 1-1 draws.
The first got us knocked out of the FA Cup, the next puts us in a good position in our Round of 16 Europa League game, and the latest was an actual decent performance against Arsenal at Old Trafford.
All hopes for the season now rest on the Europa League - does Amorim have the squad to win it?

Expect him to get plenty of games in midfield from now until the end of the season, sharing minutes with Ugarte and Casemiro. Which would hopefully enable Bruno to play more in number 10 positions again.
He should have come on 5-10 minutes earlier when Arsenal were starting to camp around our penalty box and our two senior citizens were flagging. Decent cameo and I hope he gets more game time this season.
Darren Fletcher regen?
Yeah agreed. Was clear we needed that energy he came on and provided. He’s a decent player and think he has a future if he can stay fit and progress.
Very good cameo for me and gave me the impression he felt like he belonged on the pitch. Didn't seemed fazed on the ball and put himself about.
Was thinking this watching the game. 75 minutes was probably like 10 minutes more than you'd expect Eriksen to get, especially after he started at Sociedad as well. Not that he was poor but obviously had no energy left.
Good call. Lets just hope he doesnt have the injury record that Ownbe had.
Not arsed where they are from so long as they improve Inited.
First it was Mainoo, this lad, Heaven and hopefully Amass follows suit. Always good to have English/British prospects coming through the ranks -- we're Britain's biggest club after all.
You put in a few promising, keen to impress youngsters and there's a good chance they'll outperform our aging, overpaid first team. Heaven, Collyer and Obi look promising.
Not saying start them every match but there's no reason that they shouldn't be given opportunities at the end of this season. Especially the fact we're playing for nothing in the league.

Spot on. I was pleased with yesterday's performance on the whole, bit scrappy first half, seemed to get more confidence second half. Heaven slotted in well, Collyer I like, nothing flash, does the basics well, Obi looks good in certain aspects, seems to be good around the box, sniffing out opportunities, build up play will improve with more minutes in the pitch.
Hope Amass can get more minutes as well, especially with nothing to play in league anymore. Still 0 minutes even though he was on the bench for some games.
absolutely nothing like Hargreaves
if he struggles to get a start now then he never will, we will look to add another midfielder in and thats before we get rid of Eriksen and Casemiro, doesnt look anywhere near as talented as some of the youth prospects we have coming through Fletcher/Thwaites + theres Kone.
Gone are the days we will keep players around for the sake of it, but the next few months are going to be huge. Not as optimistic as some are here but then again this fan base has a bad habit of hyping up youth players.

It really depends on what's your expectation of his future role at the club. As a starter? Probably not. But it's possible to have him as a squad player if he keeps developing.
He is 21, just came into the first team and in a struggling side with many issues. He is doing fine, he could show more but what he is doing is needed right now and into the future it will depend on how he develops as a player. This is an incredibly difficult role to master and even if his limitations persist he can contribute now and earn us a decent fee down the line.absolutely nothing like Hargreaves

I think he could be our "Nicky Butt" Not quite good enough to be a regular but will get lots of games due to injuries, suspensions etc
I can totally see that but hadn't thought about it until I read this.
Seems to be playing in the "10" role whenever he's come on and he's actually looked pretty sharp there. Will be key in the midweek fixture.
Key ? He’ll be lucky to come off the bench
He'll definitely come off the bench, the squad is on its knees fitness wise.
Dorgu and Ugarte are back
He played pretty regularly before his injury, it is not unlikely he'll come of the bench at all.
Dorgu isn't a CM and Ugarte has just come back from injury.
He'll 100% come off the bench. Especially after Hojlund does his usual 60 mins of nothing.
That is a good comparison. Hargreaves-Carrick-Scholes showed a lot of promise for the few games they managed to play together.

What a load of nonsense. He only just returned from injury. Do you honestly expect a young player who’s only just breaking through to get starts immediately after returning from injury? Even established first team players normally get eased back in.
I don't think he has the agility and crossing of Hargreaves. For me, he's more similar to O'Shea, and probably will have similar role in the future.
