Who would be your choices?

I'm looking up to see Mitchell,Kehinde,Warren and Gribbin making impact at this level.

P.S: forgot that it's now U23s but the point still stand.
 
You can add Roshuan Williams and Regan Poole to that list.
 
Interested in seeing Gomes. Id love to see Willuams, Tuanzebe and TFM make an impact.
 
How far do people think Gribbin can go? From what I have seen he looks promosing but can he make a Rashford like impact on the first team?
 
Williams have already break through . But will be interesting to see whether he keeps up and get the first team debut

This could be the year for Mitchell and Poole.

Gribbin is the one I am looking forward
 
Our defence with players like Tuanzebe, CBJ, Williams, Poole, Riley, Warren & Olosunde (Love will hopefully leave the club) looks fantastic......everyone of them could really have a amazing season......i go for Tuanzebe or Williams (if Tuanzebe is more involved with the first team)

I think Willock will have a very good season.

Weir leaves hopefully the club too so it opens a big chance for Gribbin.

I really like Mitchell and hopefully he stays fit but difficult to see his season if he plays most games as main striker.....i prefer him as winger.

1) Tuanzebe/Williams
2) Gribbin
3) Willock

Is Gribbin disciplined enough to make an impact with a club like United under someone like Mourinho?
 
Most of the players that I would wanna see have got players that should probably leave the club for their sakes. But with the new u23 league and the international tournament, I don't see that happening for some cases (Love, Weir, El-Fitouri). This just blocks the more promising ones progress and leaves a backlog when you consider the u18s that could also step up.

I think consistency is a bigger issue for him.Had some average games against opponents that and rarely turned up on big occasions.

That saying he looks like a player that will play better alongside better players.

Yes we'll see how he handles the step up. I've heard that some players stagnate when not being challenged by playing alongside others of comparable quality.
Become a bit bored if you like?
 
Of the players not to make an impact at under 21 level yet the stand out is definitely Mitchell for me. Think Warren's involvement depends heavily on Riley's future but I rate them both and hope they have a good season.

I think Kehinde will be the surprise package for most as his hype died down after his injury last year but I think he'll do well given the opportunity. Been impressed with Poole too and hope he kicks on now. Curious to see what Scott can do at this level although his chances may be limited this year.

PS: I doubt we'll see much if any of Gomes in the 21s this year, still needs to do a bit more with the 18s first, can't rush him.
 
I'd like to see how Williams and Poole do. Poole really had a waste of a season last year. Tuanzebe is probably destined to be more with the first team, but would like to see more of him too.
Hopefully we can see more of Mitchell, his injuries in the last two years were awful.
I'd also like to see more of Gribbin.
 
I love Willock's style of play. I think he's always been underrated.

Williams, Poole and Riley are the obvious choices.

Harrop and Weir need loan moves, but they'll probably end up staying around to lead the team.

Warren and Kehinde intrigue me the most as the youngsters of the group.
 
Player I think could break through to some 1st team appearances this season:
Andreas Pereira (seems obvious)
Goss
Tuanzebe
Gribbin (wildcard). I don't see why Gribbin can't work his way in to some first team appearances if his attitude is good.
 
I hope Harrop can get an injury free season, and that he can impress Jose&Co.

Hopefully Mitchell and Gribbin can establish themselves on that level, and maybe even Gomes can get an apperance or two.

I also really like Callum Whelan, and if the likes of Willock and Goss goes out on loan, he might get a chance.
