If anyone wants a bit of a morale boost, go look at the goals scored by Mason Greenwood tonight in the youth cup against Chelsea. A star on our hands.

Agree totally Caolan, but can you honestly see JM letting him turn out for the first team? If he played for Watford or Bournemouth we’d be out there waving wads of money for him next month. A travesty. On the last live chat some of the more experienced guys here were calling for the under 19s to be rolled out instead of our current crop of Bentley drivers. I’m now siding with them.

He looks really special caolan. Honestly with our season pretty much over I would much rather see us have a go playing him up top instead of Lukaku. I’m sure he cannot do any worse. Obviously we don’t want to rush him but if you are good enough you are old enough. He is definitely good enough.

I think we should be playing him. I don’t see JM doing it to be honest. If JM left let’s play some of these kids and give the next man a platform.

He’s the best thing about our club at the moment, he has the potential to be one of the best, has blistering pace, skill and can finish with both feet. 22 goals in 19 games and Chelsea’s first youth cup defeat for 5 years. The future is bright, shame the present isn’t.

Firstly without going over the top and not saying he will get to that level but there is a bit of the Brazilian Ronaldo about him. However, we have seen this before in James Wilson so let’s give him time. The number of times I have said this but mentally they have to take a step at his age, most don’t but if he does then we have a player. Is he physically ready for the top level is another question. He trained with the first team and was on the bench last week, good experience so we need to do it again and introduce him. He looks wirey, bit like Cristiano at the start. However, our first team issues, the attitudes of some of the players are so poor is it a risk to put him in with them?

On Sunday it was obvious Rashford made far more effort than some if not all, he cared, but for a young lad like Greenwood we have to be careful. The team, the club, the manager are under extreme pressure for results so it is a very difficult place to throw a kid into hoping he swims.
