Manchester United are in the process of introducing more youngsters in to the first team, with the likes of Wellback and Simpson, as well as the Brazilian twins, Rafael and Fabio, training with the first team.
The Reserves got a taste of what it is like to play with the big boys earlier this week, when Gary Neville lead out our lads in the match against Liverpool Reserves.
Nemanja Vidic feels as though the set up at United is perfect for integrating youngsters in to the first team, with any young player being eagerly welcomed by the more experience ones.
“The first time any young players come to train with us we make them feel like part of the team,” he said. “They train hard, they want to improve and they have great examples to follow in Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Gary Neville. They see players like that and then work hard to reach the same standards. So far, all the young players have done well and I think we have a great future here at United.”
Which of our Reserve side are you most excited about seeing make the transition to the first team?

I’m most excited about Gerardo PIQUE. He is vey strong and very fast. He will be brilliant after some exposure in the top flight.
Danny Simpson is ManU thru and thru, a Salford Red with a dream, but I am not sure he will ever make it. I would like him too though!. Danny Wellbeck, is too gangly and hasn’t got much composure, he has a hell of a lot of work to do to convince most of the ManU lads down at my local pub that he has what it takes. Masheda though looks good – he hardly ever misses when he is thru on goal, in the reserve matches I have seen that is!. I am not impressed with the reserve performances to be honest. Brian McClair was a great player, but he looks F***ing bored stiff watching his reserve team – he certainly doesn’t have the charisma as a coach that he had as a player. Soz if these comments upset anybody, but it’s what I think and feel.
Danny welbeck for me,he has a great touch and good finishing.Pique has no chance.He looked like a derby defender against pool.He is much to slow.He isnt suited to the prem.Other than that nobody.There isnt much talent in our under 18s or reserves.
Dong Fangzhou. Ha.
