which youth player is fergie bigging up

Man Utd boss Ferguson reveals: We have future star in U18 squad

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has revealed he has high hopes for one of their U18 team - but won't name the player in question.

Ahead of United's FA Youth Cup semi against Arsenal, Fergie told the club's website: "We have got one outstanding player who has a magnificent chance of being a top player, but I won't tell you who it is. He's just a boy. If you get one or two through [the system] then you are doing well. I think at least half a dozen of them will get good careers in the game, hopefully at United."

Brandy?

In attack its Brandy.

Sam Hewson or Craig Cathcart - both are certs to make it bar injury.

Cathcart is good.

Havent seen anything of him Bedders. What sort of player is he?

Cathcart looks a dead cert to play top flight football IMO. Dunno whether it'll be at United though.

Cathcart was mentioned by Fergie on saturday as a possibly addition to the first team squad now that Vidic is out.

Off-striker, very quick, fantastic feet, very skillfull. Short but getting stronger so I've heard. Barca offered us £1 million+ for him when he was 11.

I think he is talking about Hewson, has come on leaps and bounds this season, there is a touch of the scholesy about his play, cannot pay a higher compliment to that, that said fergie could be talking about other players, Cathcart, Amos or even Galbraith. The young player that has impressed me the most this season in the youth team is Wellbeck, very talented youngster and still very young.

Where does Hewson play?

Did you watch the Liverpool academy game last week? Who was United's no.9? Mixed race lad playing on the right side. Looked quality for the half hour or so I saw.

from what ive seen on the tele, I've been most impressed with Wellbeck.

Also Brandy and Cathcart will make it, hopefully with us. Hewson looks good too.

He looked quality for the part of the first half I saw. Great touch, superb vision and weight of pass and quick too. Doesn't turn 18 until October according to the official site. Could be onto something with this kid. Maybe he'll be involved tonight against Arsenal. If so, keep an eye out for him.

Similar in a way, probbly more skilful.

has anyone seen much of that Norwegian Eikrem Wolf we signed? not heard anything about how well he's doing.

Is Galbraith any good then? He's leading the line in my FM2007 game at the moment & banging them in

Daniel Wellbeck.
I bet hes the one Fergie is on about.

I saw Brandao at the weekend, hes £#%&!ing huge for a 15 year old.

Its quite worrying that Brandy hasn't really grown at all.

He isn't bad, skillful but i don't know if he is quick enough for a winger, great shot on him too, works hard getting back, mentioned him as one of the players fergie could be bigging up as he is scottish. Fergie hasn't actually got a very good track record on bigging up players either, think of bardsley, tierney, fletcher, chadwick, ok players but not in the league of the 1993? youth team.
