If you're feeling down about our recent results, just remember that we have one of the most exciting young squads in world football.. (self.reddevils)

Honestly, I'd only consider Dortmund close to us in terms of young squads and their world class potential.

First team:

Luke Shaw - 21

Eric Bailly - 22

Timothy Fosu-Mensah - 18

Paul Pogba - 23

Jesse Lingard - 23

Marcus Rashford - 18 19 today

Anthony Martial - 20

Memphis Depay - 22

David De Gea (young for a keeper.. probably 5 years away from being in his prime) - 25

Exciting players out on loan:

Andreas Pereira - 20

Adnan Januzaj - 21

Cameron Borthwick-Jackson - 19

Exciting players in our youth set up (to name a few):

Axel Tuanzebe

RoShaun Williams

Joe Riley

Regan Poole

Angel Gomes!

There are probably a few others in this list that I am forgetting, but my point is that our young squad is so good already, just imagine these players in 5-10 years. We are on the brink of having one of the best teams in the world if our young players live up to their potential within a few years. It's so exciting, and frankly I'm very happy to see this generation of our youth getting integrated in our team.

I´m mindblown over the fact Martial is 20 years old. I sure knew he is 20, but after last season I have been thinking about in the same agebracket as Mata and Herrera.

Not sure how to put into words but I sometimes think of Martial as a lot older because of his demeanour and composure, compared to Rashford who whilst good, plays like a teeneager would, a bit raw at times. So when I see them play I can see Rashford is a young player but Martial seems older even though their ages are close

I will probably get shot down for this, but potential is only a part of the picture. I remember these discussions 5/6 years ago whilst talking about players like Cleverly, the da silva twins, Chicharito, Welbeck, Jones, Anderson, Morrison & Pogba. 10 years ago it was Fletcher, Gibson, Evans, Richardson, Pique, Rossi, Possebon.

You hear the same noises about our youth players with every generation that comes through. We have a lot of talent there is no question and its exciting to watch them grow and develop but living up to that potential is the hard part.

I think the difference here is that most of the players have already proven themselves at the highest level and yet are still very young. Martial, Shaw, Bailly, Pogba and Rashford have moved beyond the 'potential first team regular' phase to 'potentially world class' phase.

Ill be honest - I didnt realize Januzaj was 21; I thought he was 23-24

Also probably got at least 5 years of prime Smalling left. He turns 27 next month, which for a CB is not old.

I'm very excited about Pereira, I always hear that he's lighting it up for Granada. A Pereira/Pogba/Fosu-Mensah midfield in 5 years is going to be fucking lethal.

As long as we're not depending on them, I'm more than excited.

[–]ChegismDe Gea 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

There are 6-7 of them in the first team. Would you prefer we only depend on the other 4-5?

Well done m8.
