I see your point, but United literally has no one else to play due to injuries, look at their bench for example.

Even if we had simillar situation, we would not play youngsters...Musonda played better in 3 games than Oscar did whole season..this is just one example and one of my friend who played against Chelsea in Youth Champions league said that Musonda is the best young player he has ever seen and that he has Ballon'd Or potential.

This. People have been praising United over the past couple of seasons for integrating academy players. They've had to do so out of absolute necessity, not out of choice. This isn't like the "Class of '92" where the players were all brilliant.

None of these kids are playing when their senior players are fit.

Ofcourse we would, we would've been forced to. If we had a similair injury situation with so many first team players unavailable we would have no other option, just like united today. As I said before look at their bench, all outfield players are under 21 and its only down to their bizarre injury situation. 

But I do agree in general that we've been very poor to give younger players a chance.

Our problem is giving them a proper chance.Seem to get the odd game then off on loan and never come back and repeat

That's true, but other supposed 'top 4' teams have the same problem. Looking at united the previous year both Januzai and Wilson and maybe even McNair got their chance and played quite well which led to united again getting praised for bringing in youth. But for this season both Wilson  and Januzai were shipped out on loan despite their lack of strikers and Mcnair has barely played for them from what I've seen.

Your right with what you're saying though, there's no denying we're worse than most PL teams in this regard.
