Five things we learned from Manchester United's pre-season

The youngsters

Adnan Januzaj, Wilfried Zaha, and Jesse Lingard have been the only silver lining amongst the dark clouds that have surrounded Manchester United’s pre-season. Young and hungry, like luminous little lights blinking madly in the background, this trio of youngsters have caught the eye of every United supporter worldwide, and made them believe that all is not wrong after all.

Add to this trio the likes of Phil Jones, Tom Cleverley, Danny Welbeck, the Brazilian twins, and Nick Powell, who all have what it takes to climb the summit and build a home there. This club has always adored the talented youth, and that, perhaps, is their biggest secret of prolonged success.

Should David Moyes ever face any doubt, then the youth should be his answer.
