Can Gibson and Co. Take The Mantle At OT?

Unknown Filed Under: Labels:
Since today is Manchester United topic day, I decided to make the subject be about Gibson, Fabio and the youthful crop of players that are coming through at Manchester United

With Giggs, Paul Scholes, Gary Neville (whom already has retired) and Edwin Van der Sar retiring really soon, the question remains whether the next generation of talent that is making it's way through Manchester United ranks can actually make it as top class players.

Perhaps Darren Gibson is he biggest enigma here, with him having a wonderful shot and rather secure passing, with his only problem being that  he shoots way too often. He shoots too early and Manchester United have lost the ball on many occasions due to Gibson's antics. That's even why he was abused out of Twitter just several months ago.

Another player that might or might not make it is goalkeeper Anders Lindegaard. Apparently, he was compared to Manchester United's former keeper Peter Schmeichel, and the fact that he was a compatriot of his perhaps made it even more significant. But the way it is looking to turn out, it doesn't seem like he will even get a chance at the first XI place.

But on a positive note, Fabio Da Silva has already broken into the first team and has managed to make the right back slot his own, even though he is naturally a left-back. Da Silva combines lots of pace down the wings with his ability to go in for a hard tackle to steal the ball away from opponents, therefore making him a big asset for Manchester United.

It seems that most of their youth players, however, are simply not going to cut it at Manchester United standards, and by looking at what they're trying to do this transfer season, it certainly seems like that. Ferguson isn't going to put his faith on the youngsters and that's why he has gone out and made some moves for players such as De Gea, Nasri and Modric.
