Under 23's

Just watching the highlights of last nights match between our U23's away at Derby. Fooook me what a dearth of talent we have at that age group!!! they being ripped a new one here and there seems to be a real lack of heart amongst them!! On the positive side though, watched the 18's against Wolves on Saturday and there is some real talent in that side!!

Yeah Goss went to QPR.

Didn't we have similar issues a few years ago with the majority of the under 21 squad being gutted after winning the title?

Tuanzebe looks a real prospect, and Mitchell definitely has talent but I'm struggling to see a future at United for many of the others. The 18' on the other hand....

Yeah Mourinho won't be here by the time the under 18's are ready so they're the best bet.

Rosso - has Goss left for QPR?? I wasn't sure if that transfer went through or not?......... I just cant fathom how a club as large as United have ended up with no striker at that level...... and surely they should have looked to resolve the issue in January?!

Fack, I'd completely missed the Goss transfer

Hope we've put a buy-back clause in the deal; he's a classy footballer. (There's no way we've put a buy-back clause in the deal.)

I don't know how we even started the season without a striker! Demi Mitchell played up top for the U18s on occasion, but he's not a bona fide centre forward, in any traditional sense of the term. McTominay has been tried there, but his size, strength and aerial ability aside, he's not a natural CF either.

It's quite baffling really. Maybe Jose had planned to send Rashford back down

Riley looks a real prospect to me. Given Shaw and Darmian's continuing failures to impress, maybe he and/or CBJ will get a chance in the summer.

I'd be excited to see Pereira given a chance on the left as well.

Doubt any of these players will get much of a look in.

If they impress enough, they'll get a chance.

Do you genuinely believe that? Mourinho isn't going to put his faith in any of those players. He's in no position to do so.
