United’s new hero facing reserves return

Sunderland 1 Man United 2

After a full debut that had David Moyes comparing the teenager’s Premier League impact favourably to that of a young Wayne Rooney, the teenager could perhaps instead be forgiven for checking out the first team’s upcoming schedule in the aftermath of the international break.

That, however, is not the Manchester United way. The 18-year-old may be targeting the next senior encounter against Southampton, but despite announcing himself with two goals, Moyes insisted he won’t be averse to bringing the midfielder back down to earth with a return stint in the U21s.
