you guys do realize this is Sunderland, right?

Chill man, he's only 18. He should be loaned to West Brom first.

But he's already in a mid table team...

Beating them still nets you three points, just like every other team in the Premier League.

But you have a point - they really are the Basel of the league....oh.

If Schurrle gets praised to heaven for a performance vs a non-existent RB from Steaua, then a 18yo kid who scores twice in his first start merits a tiny bit of praise as well don't you think?

Yes ManU should sent Januzaj on loan as fast as possible.

As a Chelsea Fan of 10 years, I know everything about how to promote talents and make them part of your squad. You have them, they perform, than loan them out where they perform, then bring them back for preseason and then immediately loan them out again. Cos that is how football works. You got a great young player, now send him away as far as you can. That is the only way you can incorporate him in your team. Tons of succesful examples. Sturridge, Stoch, Matic.

I'm gonna rage if we drop points tomorrow. Heaven knows Arse and Spuds will win with our luck.

I meant in a ManU pov! I don't know the kid, can't say a word about him and didn't watch the match.

I'm talking about ManU needing a U-18 to win a match against Sunderland!!!

Moyes will be worshiped for starting a boy that won him the match.... although it is against Sunderland.

As for the boy, he might be good because there was a lot of pressure on ManU now...

It looks like There is no place...like Sunderland ?

what I meant is Moyes is very lucky a boy won him the match... this is Sunderland, ManU should have had this match killed within 30 minutes. They were lucky (Moyes mainly) because the boy got things done for them. But they should realize there's something very wrong with Moyes' tactics and team when they need an u-18 boy to turn a scoreline around against one of the weakest sides in EPL if not the weakest.

But as this is ManU we will read in sites and papers that Moyes is a genius... smh

Of course, it´s nothing to brag about here. The kid scored, that´s all. Then I ask why should manures loan him out if he wins the games ? Not every team is so clueless as to loan good players out.

I don't even know the kid, how could I say he should be loaned or not?

Again, I'm not talking about the kid - although kudos for him - I'm talking about how fragile Moyes' MU is when they can't win against Sunderland without a boy scoring them two goals.

They are being sarcastic, where is your sense of humor?

[Ankit 3,176]

Liverpool fans are referring to our current strike force as SAS - Suarez And Sturridge.

I'd like to propose a similar alternative for Man United fans:

Welbeck, Anderson, Nani, Kagawa - WANK

That´s exactly what I was saying. Had Sunderland scored second & they were unlucky, De Gea made fantastic save then, it could have been a different story tonight.

As for loaning him out, well there are plenty of posters here who think that´s the way to go, but I do not. I believe, if the player is good enough, he should play regardless of his age. I have seen many your kids over the years who made it big.

they're being sarcastic bush...

Talking specifically about the kid, he probably has tons of potential and has some character to go there in his first professional match and score the two goals that win them the match. BUT I'm not easily impressed and if this was Chelsea I would say, well it's the right thing to play him against the likes of Sunderland (although with ManU's midfield who knows if the kid isn't their best option for just every match), but it's not right to put the weight on his shoulders.

Will he be the answer for them they play Spurs, Liverpool, Arsenal, Everton or maybe even Southampton next week?

That's not how you develop young talents, that's how you risk damaging them. Moyes was right in having him today, the problem with Moyes is that with a team as ManU there's a huge problem when he needs the u-18 boy to win him the match against one of the weakest sides in the league.
