Competition have youth contributors that Tottenham do not
By Aaron Coe
Manchester United has some kids
United is not loaded with ultra young talent, as their 24-year-olds really carry a lot of weight with Marcus Rashford, Dean Henderson, Scott McTominay, and Donny van de Beek all 24. Of course, Mason Greenwood is only 19 and is closing in on 3,000 minutes for the season with more than 2800 already. Add in 20-year-old Brandon Williams who has nearly 500 minutes subbing for Luke Shaw.
Besides Williams and Greenwood, United has not played a lot of youth. Only two other players under 20 have played this season, Shola Shoretire (17) has played 16 minutes in two appearances, and Amad Diallo (18) has played 96 minutes in five appearances. Six other teenagers have made the bench at one point or another this season but have not appeared.
