Mourinhos in now youth at utd doesnt stand a chance for the next few seasons. Rashford will be bk in u21s or loaned out.

The only way Wilson will have a future at United is if he does a Harry Kane next time he gets a chance.

Probably doesn't have much of a future. He'll be, at best, 5th choice striker next season and 2 of the other four are around the same age as him. Things can change very quickly in football but the gap in ability between himself and Martial seems astronomical at the moment.

We need to try to get him a loan with a PL side where he can prove his worth...

No, i dont see him having a future at United, do you?

Can't see it happening, unfortunatly.

Progression for these youngsters is as much about being in the right place at the right time as skill levels.... Wilson and Keane were probably considered far hotter prospects than Rashy.... But the stars aligned for Rashman and he delivered.

The idea of Mourinho having two academy strikers in a matchday squad seems slim.

Fact is Rashford physically is ready and Wilson isn't.

Needs a loan to PL side maybe

A few years ago Will Keane looked like he would break through at any moment.

I've actually been impressed with Wilson when he played for us. Direct, fast and with an eye for goal. Problem is that we all understand we need a quality established striker and already have Martial and Rashford who has now overtaken Wilson. Even if it wasn't Jose coming I couldn't see how Wilson would get much action.

Ideally he needs to go on loan and then we can assess it from there.

He needs the right loan too, somewhere that he'll get regular starts

Five goals in 24 games isn't great for an attacking team who nearly got promoted but hopefully he's learnt a lot in the Championship, he will have to come back all guns blazing to stand a chance next season though.

To be honest, Rashford has looked the more accomplished in the first team but then Wilson was never given a run of 10-15 games to show what he could do.

Sometimes it really is a case of "right place, right time."

I'd be amazed if Will Keane had a future at the club, I know he's scored goals in the youth teams but he hasn't looked like anything special when I've seen him, isn't he 23 now too? He'll probably get a permanent move to somewhere like Blackburn or Preston.

I don't think the number of goals someone's scores out on loan tells the whole story, just look at Kane.

Said it initially, did not see a lot to be optimistic about.

We need to invest in Rashford

You did with Bebe though. Even up to the summer we signed RvP

posted on 27/5/16

I said give Bebe a chance in his preferred position because he had tools that could be honed and sharpener.

Pace, strength, ability on the ball, shooting and an eye for goal before forming an opinion.


Not sure the relevance of your statement with regards to Wilson

posted on 27/5/16

I just said that because Wilson showed more than Bebe.

You clearly don't watch United games if you think Bebe has ability on the ball

posted on 27/5/16

Wilson has not shown even half the talent of Bebe

posted on 27/5/16

Come on, be serious

posted on 27/5/16

As you do not watch Utd games it will be even more difficult for me to ask you to go and watch him in the reserves and all the clubs he has played for since he left Utd.

Bebe is a striker, was played as a winger. Something you do not like coaches doing

Wilson is medicore, Rashford is the young player we need to invest in.

Would lose no sleep if Wilson was sold
