Let's hope the senior squad can replicate the performance of the U19s. All over this Juve U19 side. Greenwood looking very lively.
UEFA Youth League - United vs Juventus
- Thread starter RedMachine03
- Start date
How close do our lads match up with the best European’s in the Youth League? Obviously very strong domestically, but good enough for a proper chance at winning this?
Number 15 (Capellini) booked for Juventus, think he was just frustrated.
We're one of the strongest teams in it.
This united side are playing some lovely stuff.
Nearly a third goal from Traore, we're by far the better team here.
Not to hype BUT, Traore is Pogba!!
Angel has gotten so much better with his defense. Is he a CM now instead of an AM?

The best English sides have been among the very elite in this competition since it started so I would estimate this United side as up among the very best this year. The usual suspects of Chelsea (they beat Molde 10-1 in their last game) and Barca will be the teams to beat.
Number 14 somehow has more goals than bookings, completely against the run of play but our defensive work as suspect as ever 
2-1.
2-1.Get in
Good finish, well in Jimmy.
3-1. some of these boys should be on the 1st team bench occasionally. talk about pressing high up the field...
Great half from Garner, breaking up play numerous times and to great effect there.
Hopefully we'll see a few before the end of the season, quite a few of them are still with the u18s though (Traore, Greenwood and Laird) so don't think we'll see them near the first team before they have a decent go with the u23s.
Glad to see the team is still doing well after Mckenna leaving
Another good save from Kovar, both keepers had plenty to do this afternoon.
I think deep CM, similar to Kevin De Brunye's new position for City as CM
Where can I see highlights of this match?
I can't imagine who Nicky Butt has modelled his management style on and what he wants from his team 
They'll be on the YouTube channel in the next few days.
In fairness to us, we produce 2 or 3 players every couple of years in the academy with great potential. From morrisson and co a few years back to this bunch, it’s impressive and great to see.
It would be class to see as many of these lads as possible break into our first team over the next few years.
Every player has been good in this game so far. Garner and Gomes dictating midfield. Traore like previously mentioned, very Pogba like, without the sloppiness. Greenwood with another clinical center forward finish. The right back Laird, excellent.
Our lad, lee o Connor at left back looking so assured again for his age.
The pressing from us has been great and the intensity to win the ball back once we lose it again brilliant.
Of course, this is a different level but some really enjoyable stuff being played here by Nicky butts lads so far.

Seems to be emulating Kieran McKenna/Neil Ryan and the way they play.I can't imagine who Nicky Butt has modelled his management style on and what he wants from his team

Nicky butt for manager. JK.
Hopefully the lads with real potential have their heads screwed on the right way, unlike Morrison.
Absolutely. Lots can happen between now and becoming a regular in the first team.
Nearly make it 4-1, I think it was Traore with a nice turn and shot.
It is unfortunately having to drop the bad influences in your life and realising that you really do have to work hard to get to the top.
It was Traore.
Juve have had a player sent off. Silly lad.
Juve have a man sent off for hitting Bohui in the face.
Bohui's had quite an impressive performance today, he's very hit and miss but definitely has some flair about him when he turns up.
let's hope tonight's ref takes the same approach.Juve down to 10 men
Very theatrical from the Juve player there, even gave a little hair flick as he went down

Juve should have scored then.
Barlow has been very unlucky to not score.
We've took the sting out of the game, playing a more measured, patient game. We'll score another yet.
Bohui off for Mellor.
Juventus player seems to have been fouled by the air to deny us a clear counter.

That's what I thought, I just thought Mellor had fooled him.
Love watching this set of United youngsters.No Chong, is he to old?injured? or possibly in with the 1st team tonight?
Every time we go forward we look like we're going to score.
