Time To Invest In The Talents We Have
After the team's performance in the Uefa Europa
League game yesterday the final result was nothing but spectacular. However,
what was even more spectacular was the manner in which the team got the victory.
Before the game even kicked off the team had announced that
the number of injured players in the team had increased immensely and the
injuries was affecting the amount of first team players the club is able to play
in a game. Rooney, Schweinsteiger, Phil Jones, Shaw, Young, etc are just some
of the names on the list of injured players.
With this long injury list in mind and with our refusal to participate
in the january transfer window Coach Van Gaal was forced to look to the Manchester
United youth team to fill in for the missing players in the team.
To make matters worse, right before the game during the
teams warm up, another Crucial Players was withdrawn because of another injury.
Anthony Martial went down with a minor hamstring right before the game which
dampened the team's ability to inject some pace in our attack. Luis Van Gaal has
confirmed that he is not sure how sure
Martial will be out for and that is unfortunate especial since the team is
about to face Liverpool next in the Barclay's Premier League.
With the teams recent amount of injuries in mind Manchester
United Manager was forced to promote three new players from the Academy to the
first team for the Europa League second leg clash.
“Teenage prospects Marcus Rashford (pictured) and Regan
Poole both took part in Wednesday's pre-match training session, as did
goalkeeper Joel Castro Pereira and recent debutants Donald Love and Joe Riley.
Young full-backs Cameron Borthwick-Jackson and Guillermo Varela are also among
the players who have made impressive senior bows this term during some testing
and injury-ravaged times for the Reds”.

The Youngsters all
put in an excellent performance and helped the team book a place in the next
stage in the Europa League. Young striker Marcus Rashford capped up his own
night by scoring a goal in the game to make his debut a memorable one for the
fan.
Which brings back the question, is it time for the club to
stop focusing on bringing in new players each transfer window but instead,
focus more on developing the players in the club by creating equal playing
opportunities for both the players in the Academy and the regular first team
players. I can say that from the evidence of this past Europa League match
performance, creating more time for both the academy players and the regular
team players will help the club moving forward.
For now, the club needs
to carry the momentum from the win in both the FA Cup and the Europa League
into this weekends Premiere League game against Liverpool if we hope to get
anything from this coming Premiere League Game and with the club still missing
a good number of players due to injuries the fans can look forward to watching
some of the Academy players gear up to for the match. Let’s hope the boys can
deliver another good performance and help the Club record another win.
