After numerous injury problems hit several senior players, five players in United's back line that ended the match against West Brom yesterday had an average age of just 20 years 193 days. David De Gea, who appeared a little dubious - Chris Smalling, Phil Jones, Jonny Evans, and Fabio Da Silva will be the retainer line behind the defending champion in the next two games to face Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal.
Coupled with names like Tom Cleverley and Danny Welbeck, then Sir Alex Ferguson has now been built again a new dynasty to rival that contains the Class of '95 David Beckham, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Gary Neville.
De Gea may indeed have to stop doing a blunder-a blunder is not important. But Fergie now seems to have started to feel grateful to invest $ 16 Million Pound to get Phil Jones. Rio Ferdinand should be absent for six weeks with a hamstring injury at The Hawthorns yesterday, while Nemanja Vidic will be missing from the squad for at least two weeks because of injury.
These problems are compounded by the absence of Rafael da Silva for 10 weeks ahead due to injuries to his shoulder. But yesterday, Fergie has called himself grateful for the young players are ready for layering.
And now, Smalling, who this season seem comfortable appearing as right-back, agreed with his manager is.
He said in the Mirror, "It's nice to see your players injured, but the manager has shown throughout the preseason he would provide an opportunity for young players and he threw us in a big game."
"Everybody's getting close now and with players like Jonny and Fabio included in the squad, nice to see them growing."
"We all know the goal if you play well, then the manager will keep you on the team. This is the biggest sign for other players as well as the entire squad. Especially if it could play well. No matter what your age. "
"If it's got a pretty good ability, then the manager will put you in the squad!"
