These kids are the real deal

AFTER last week’s giddy column, I did wonder whether I’d been guilty of letting myself get too carried away by the mere flash of some teenage flesh.

Having repeatedly bigged up the prospects of Cleverley and Welbeck in print over the last two years, and being signed up to the Smalling fan club from day one last season, was I being too biased?

After Monday though, I consider whether I might have underplayed it.
