    No international recognition until this season, and he could well be Manchester United's first choice left back aged 19. I like when that happens, gives me hope for our future depth that players can come out of nowhere.

    Greenwood starting to gain some momentum now. First U21 + PL goal in the space of a week.

    Williams actually got a chasing in that game. It was a big lesson for him. He's pretty far off England NT at the moment.

    Yeah I agree with that. He looks a prospect but he's still very raw at the moment. After all, he is only 19 still. Give him 2 or 3 more years and see the player he becomes.

    Rumours today that Brewster could leave on loan in January. Villa, Palace and Leeds said to be interested.

    Yeah but there’s no way Southgate will pick him now unless there’s an injury crisis. Southgates more likely to pick Jesse Lingard before Grealish unfortunately!

    One of the saddest things about Grealish is the constant vitriol he is on the end of. I know Twitter is a toxic place but it seems so many neutral fans have it in for him for seemingly no obvious reason. I don't see anything that's obviously dislikeable about him, just seems like a humble, down to earth bloke fulfilling his dream. If anything, he should be more popular and loved given he's come up the relative hard way and had to be patient for a sustained crack at the top level. Frankly, anyone that can let themselves get wound up so much by someone's haircut or the way they wear their shinpads deserves to live an angry, unhappy existence.

    I think Villa could be a good move for Brewster out of all of those teams. I’ve never been impressed from what I’ve seen from Wesley and Brewster could get in ahead of him imo but obviously loans are not easy and it would depend how patient Smith will be with Wesley as they have invested in him and will want him to succeed.

    United are taking almost their entire U23 squad to Astana on Thursday. Gomes, Greenwood, Taylor, Bernard, Mengi, Garner, Laird & Mellor are all travelling.

    Brandon Williams being rested which indicates he'll be a starter at the weekend again.

    Dont agree with jenas that winks only plays 5 yard passes. He can play those key those key passes.

    Mixed night for the English spurs lads. Dier was poor but so was the whole spurs team till then. Winks was as industrious as ever. Clever passes. Kept the ball. Rose was very poor. Gave the ball away numerous times. Dele was something like back to his best. Great energy. Clever link play. Kane does what few strikers do better. Scores goals

    I have absolutely no idea why Foden didn’t start tonight. Unless Pep has him pencilled in for a starting role on Saturday (which I doubt.)

    United are taking an u23 squad to Astana tomorrow, only Lingard and Shaw from the seniors have even travelled.

    I'm guessing this will mean senior debuts for Mengi and Laird.

    Ridiculous imo, Sancho & Havertz have done much more to deserve to be ahead of him!

    Felix has been nothing but mediocre for atleti since his move there. Sancho is far more deserving
