Fergie reveals six stars of
future
28 November 2011
Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed
that six of last season's FA Youth Cup-winning side are being assessed for
first-team action.
The United boss says Paul Pogba,
Ravel Morrison, Jesse Lingard, Zeki Fryers, Larnell Cole and Michael Keane have
been recommended to him by his staff for possible duty as he ponders his
selection for the Carling Cup quarter-final with Crystal Palace.
"The monitoring system here
is good and there's a lot of consistency with our Academy staff," he told
the new edition of Inside United. "These are guys that have been here a
long time and know what to look for. When somebody like Paul McGuinness comes
to me and says: 'He's a first-team player', then I know to keep a special eye
on the player.
"From there, we'll bring the
boy into first-team training for a couple of sessions. That's what we're doing
at the moment with Paul Pogba, Ravel Morrison, Jesse Lingard, Zeki Fryers,
Larnell Cole and Michael Keane. They're all training with the first team at the
moment."
Defender Fryers, midfielders
Pogba and Cole plus striker Keane have already made their debuts in the
competition while United fans cannot wait to see how Morrison performs when he
is given his chance by the manager.
But The United boss will only
make the call to step the individual up when he is ready and admits he is
always careful to monitor how they perform in training before adding to his
list of 'Fergie's fledglings'.
"That allows me to see how
they cope playing against seasoned professionals, it lets me judge their
temperament. It allows me to get a far better picture of how they're
progressing. And, while this is going on, you hope they're playing well for the
Reserves and displaying the right attitude and enthusiasm.
"Players are never simply
thrown into first-team action," he added.
