    You could not pay me to watch this competition
    I will not care one bit about the result
    Efl clubs won't get enough supporters through the turnstiles to pay the electric bill
    Scrap this worthless competition

    Yet I'll put money on your flocking down to Wembley if you ever make the final and selling it as a massive achievement if you win :)

    Would have thought he would have got at least 45mins - maybe to do with the daft rules of eligible players?

    What are you rambling on about? I clearly meant to see promising youngsters from the Man Utd academy. I didn't mention anything about us signing them... Bizarre reply.

    So Ritchie Wellens son is playing, as is Robbie Savages

    The Paul McShane is the same 35-year-old one that started at United then went to WBA, Sunderland and Hull

    The best players are probably Hugill, Shoretire and Mengi but there are a few others like Fernandes who are promising

    tbh some of them may end up at your level, especially if you can turn the slump around and get promoted to League 1

    So we're playing against a retired coach and a load of kids nobody has heard of with 0 minutes of any first team football combined between them. What an irrelevant fixture for us - this competition is clearly here to benefit the Premier League sides.

    BTW we are odds-on to win too, so we all know how this one is heading..

    I didn’t believe you and the Paul McShane bit so decided check for myself haha unbelievable job for him. It’s crazy that these clubs even have roles like this when some people on here don’t think we even need a recruitment consultant/analyst or whatever you want to call it.

    “Manchester United are delighted to announce another innovative coaching appointment to its Professional Development Phase (U17-U23).

    Ahead of the 2021/22 season, Paul McShane rejoins the Academy as playing coach, having left United as graduate in 2006.
    The experienced defender and A-licence coach will combine his talents to provide a different perspective by coaching from within sessions and from an on-pitch perspective in fixtures when deemed appropriate.”

    Shoretire has 2 PL matches and 1 in Europe and Mengi has a European game (and a few for Rooney on loan at Derby). Kovar was on loan at Swindon last season and played 21 times

    Not a fan of it obviously but money up for grabs and more importantly hopefully Scales, Staunton, Sutton and Songo’o can play well and stake a claim for Saturday because we need a few of them to come in for those not performing well enough.

    Yeah combined with getting some more serious matches in this competition a role like McShane has is important as the u23 league is so poor that having some experience around them every day should be a massive benefit. Not just for United but also any club who picks up the players who don't make it

    Just seen Cooke walk to the bench, someone pulled up in the warm up as he wasn't down originally?
