With you on the Reed assessment. Ron has moved JWP into the deeper midfield role a bit this season and he doesn't have the defensive game. He works hard and gets back in position, but I never expect him to make a tackle or win a 50:50.
Can't really expect him to play on Wednesday, tonight was a hard game on a difficult pitch, it will have taken a lot out of him.
Bad night for the under 21's but does maybe confirm what Ronald has said about them not being ready yet.
Good luck to him. His main problem is they have one of the best keepers in the country in Jack Butland, and he's only 22.
Yeah, but how long is Butland going to stay at Stoke? United will need a new keeper when De Gea leaves.
