18 Arab? Fkin ell, guy is a real talent, remember reading up about him when he was with with Crewe. Least now with Powell you don't have to feel slightly aggrieved with losing Pogba in the summer.
That Buttner looks a good player as well, looked like you've sorted out the LB position now

Only turned 18 in march too. There is something about him that makes me think he will make it at United. Seems to have a steeliness about him. You could he was happy to score, but also that it was only the start and he didn't get carried away.

I remember the same excitement and noise about Jones, early last season.
A few dodgy games and our fans will be on his back, just like they are with Jonesy.
Best to just sit back and see what happens with these teenagers.
Not sure what SAF is up to with this quote, but i'm sure he knows what motivation the lad needs.

I loved his goal in the playoffs last season. It was class. His shooting reminds me of scholes, they way he can absolutely leather it but not screw them miles wide like Gibson.
Hope he plays all the Carling Cup games. Can't see him getting alot of action this season.

Only time will tell. Wasn't the same thing said of many players before? Hell last season, Jones was the MOM for many and now he is one of our 'worst players'.
I will wait...

Good cameo in his debut, and apparently great potential for the future. You can't say much more than that yet can you?
As far as replacing Scholes I hope we're not going to develop another 'The New George Best' culture.

we don't need to...
Bebe is already the new George Best
