Manchester Unitedin fanit vaativat manageri José Mourinhoa antamaan nuorille pelaajille mahdollisuuden Valioliigan päätöskierroksen kotiottelussa Watfordia vastaan. Asiasta kertoo Manchester Evening News.

Sarjasijoituksen kannalta peli on Unitedille merkityksetön, sillä se varmisti kakkospaikkansa jo edellisessä kamppailussaan West Hamia vastaan.

Mourinhon odotetaan tekevän muutoksia kokoonpanoon tulevan FA Cupin loppuottelun alla. Portugalilainen aikoo kuitenkin valita Watford-otteluun kokeneen miehistön.

Uransa lopettava Michael Carrick toimii kapteenina. Myös Anthony Martialia, Marcus Rashfordia, Juan Mataa, Eric Baillya, Daley Blindiä ja Sergio Romeroa odotetaan avaukseen.

Moni on kuitenkin ollut sosiaalisessa mediassa sitä mieltä, että nyt olisi oikea hetki antaa tulevaisuuden lupauksille näyttöpaikka. Tahith Chong ja Angel Gomes ovat kaksi akatemian kirkkainta helmeä.

Not going to use youth against watford!!! A match that has no meaning but sure Blind and Darmian are of more interest to the club and fans than Gomes and Chong... that’s the great one??!! Really??!!

Still think Chong might feature. He’s named 7 players. Rojo and Darmian are also likely. That leaves two. McTominay will probably start ahead of Pogba and Herrera who will start at Wembley. That leaves one. So maybe Chong will play if he rests Lingard.

I wish Jose gives Carrick Scott, Chong, Bohui, Joe and a host of reserves/academy the chance on Sunday, the 1st team guys should all be in suits watching from the stands and wait for #FA final. Our premier league business for this season is done and dusted.

So we know the majority of the team on Sunday...

Romeo
??? Bailly ??? Blind
??? Carrick ???
Mata Rashford Martial

Happy with that. Would be a shame not to use some of the youngsters, such as Gomes, Chong etc, but we do have a cup final to prepare for, so I think it’s right
