The news the other day was that fergie was seriously considering playing him or at lest putting him in the 18 for today and surprise surprise he's not there and with the rumours flying around that top clubs in europe are after him is this the end of his short united career ? Personally i'd like to see him get more of a look in but if he isn't getting in our current midfield then he surely can't be that good; although i'll admit his lack of experience will obviously be a contributing factor
All he needs to do is look at the example of other young players from the academy like Welbeck and Cleverley. Both got some exposure of the first team at a young age. Welbeck was even scoring at 17 for us! Both then went out on loans to Premier League clubs and did well and both are establised squad members if not first team members. SAF is doing exactly the same with Pogba and Morison. Both are getting gradual exposure to the first team and being in first team squads. SAF has said that his agent has been frustrating to negotiate with as United do want Pogba and consider him a huge prospect. It might be that the agent wants to drum up interest from other clubs because he wants a bigger contract from United. And this idea of if he was any good he'd be playing anyway is nonsense. Young players from our academy as I said above go through a gradual exposure pattern. How often do teenagers from our academy are regulars in first team squads? Very rarely, the only teenagers tend to be the ones that have been bought with plenty of top league experience.
The rumors are only there because he hasn't signed a new contract. We have an option on his current contract to extend the deal by a year that we haven't exercised yet.
I think Fergie is willing to give Morrison a chance because he has stood by him when all the controversy regarding his antics of the field happened. I have not been too impressed with what i have seen of Pogba so far (Crystal palace) but hope he gets more game time in the 1st team.
I think Morrison has impressed more than Pogba but I think the latter hasn't been playing completely uninhibited. But he has said that he wants to break into the first team now. http://www.manutd.com/en/News-And-F.../2011/Dec/paul-pogba-has-first-team-goal.aspx
in fact i don't think it play very well, but maybe he will do better later ! please log in to view this image
