I think you've let your frustration at the Fulham result get the better of you. There are several factors you've not considered. Firstly and most importantly for young players to develop they need game time. Not just 5-10 minutes at the end of games. Elanga and Garner are playing well now. But it took 10 games of playing 90 minutes every week for them to get into this form. You just don't get that luxury at a club like United. If you have an average game then 10% of the fanbase call for you to be dropped, 2 or 3 average games and you have 50-60% calling for you to be replaced. Garner and Elanga would not be the players they are now if they stayed at United. Secondly, teams need a level of experience. Especially in the EPL. Elanga and Garner were allowed to leave to give more time to Garnacho and Mainoo. We probably wouldn't have the latter playing so well without selling the former. You can't have two academy players with less than 20 starts between them anchoring your midfield. So you couldn't really start Garner and Mainoo together. Thirdly, you are ignoring the will of the young players. They want to play regularly, and they know they are more likely to be able to do that at other clubs either on loan or on a permanent deal. Alvaro Fernandez knows he has two players ahead of him, while also knowing he needs regular game time to continue to develop and have a chance of fulfilling his potential. His agent approached the club to ask for a loan move away to aid his development. Also I watched him many times last season while on loan in the championship. He's very good going forward, but is too much of a liability in defence right now. He has a tendency to switch off and not track his man. He's also a little weak and is brushed aside too easily. He's tall so he doesn't have a low center of gravity, but he hasn't filled out yet. Which makes it hard for him to go shoulder to shoulder with grown men. That's why I agreed with a loan to a less physical league which would allow him to actually practice getting more physical with his opponent while he fills out. Having spoken with a few people connected with the United Academy there is a lot, and I mean a lot of expectations on young Harry Amass. They think he could be very special and might even breakthrough to the first team before he's 18. So there could well be some future planning with letting Fernandez leave to make space for a potentially more talented player a couple of years younger than him. Much like the club did with letting Garner and Elanga leave to make space for Mainoo and Garnacho. Ultimately having a bloated squad is the issue, creating less chances for our youth to play meaning we need to send them on loan or sell them for them to get the game time needed to develop. As for Amad and Antony, while I'd much rather see Amad start and it is frustrating watching Antony. There are reasons beyond EtH protecting his reputation which I think you have missed. For a start Amad has spent a long time out injured and will need to ease himself back in. He was injured during preseason so he didn't have the chance to get himself into condition before his injury. So he will need to not only build up strength and confidence, but fitness as well. From a tactical point of view EtH needs his RW player to stay wide in the build up. With Rashford drifting on the left the player on the right needs to keep the width to make space in attack. Antony does this very well and knows what EtH wants. He has the patience to stay wide and hold his position, even if that means he gets limited time on the ball. Amad is less patient and tends to play narrower which causes issues for the team structure, especially in build up play. Amad is probably more of a No.10 than a wide player, and that is why he has a tendency to drift in-field. He wants to get on the ball too much. He will have to learn to stick closer to the manager's instructions if he is going to get more chances in the team. That is most likely the reason he doesn't have the manager's trust in the same way as Antony does. Certainly more so than the manager feeling the pressure for "his" signing to be a success.

@@Shappy86 mate it’s nothing to do with the Fulham game I recorded that a month ago. Also you’ve written an essay here mate it’s gonna take about 5 mins for me to read

@@AtlantisFootball How do you create these videos ? I have a lot of unpopular opinions that have come to reality I wish I could document them like this

Alvaro Fernandez and Amad Diallo don't need Ten Hag's greenlight to be considered good enough...Ten Hag just has favourites.

So tell me then how not having a left back is better than having young left back. Im literally dying to know your reply, also explain how playing lindelof is better than a natural left back like Fernandez.

@@shashikumar-lc6qh The LB situation is weird. As far as I know Malacia was expected back in early Feb so the call was taken to let Reguilon and Fernandez leave. Malacia then suffered a setback (which I believe the club are furious about as he was using a private trainer vs following their programme) which has left us short. Would also imagine financial pressures came into that decision too.

@@shashikumar-lc6qhnot only the manager’s responsibility, medical team fucked up badly and told him he wouldn’t need Reguillon

​@DavidC-fk2wg the thing with the Malacia/Shaw thing is you always need 3 even if it's someone to promote from the youth team which they don't have so why were they allowed to go 🤦🏿‍♂️

Yeah but it doesn’t mean he should still be at United if Pellistri and Antony were the other options.

Stop talking out of your feelings mate.elanga is average. Moments football ìs not good enough

@@craigmillington1258 he’s stil better than Antony and Pellistri tho isn’t he. Much better

But is Elanga really that much better? Players tend to do well elsewhere. Antony was pretty decent before we bought him. To say Elanga is better is very short sighted.

​@@AtlantisFootballNo. He looks good at a team near the bottom of the league.

Look toward Omari Forson's contract renewal, there lies the answer...

I mean when he was told the money he has at that time They were the only viable options, until the fans pressured the club into spending more.

Youve no understanding of the situation/what you are talking about

That's no excuse. Why can't he scout a gem from Brazil or France or somewhere. Any United manager who suggests Arnautovic should be sacked​@@VirkStar321

Thanks bro 🙏🏼 any other videos you’d like to see

No

Nuh-uh. Nein. Noooooope.

Dude. Seen Alvaro play for Benfica. You guys can have him back.

@@JuanitoBender we’ve seen him in a good team, we’ll take him thanks

Completely missed the point. Elanga is better than Antony and Pellistri isn’t he

@@AtlantisFootball Wrong, my point is perfectly valid. You are simply being revisionist. Before leaving ManUtd: Anthony Elanga across 21/22 and 22/23: 52 games, 4 goals, 4 assists. And was poor on the eye test. Elanga's emergence this season proves my point that he has had the chance to go away, play at a good level and thrive. There was nothing over those 2 seasons to suggest we should keep Elanga.

Hannibal, and Alvaro were the only standouts And ten hag still loaned them out. I don’t doubt how he nurtures talent from the youth. Besides, he has a high standard on the academy. He tries to bring in one outstanding player from there per year. That’s something I’ll never question him on

@@bear566 He plays Antony who has 0 assist 0 goal. The bald fraud has to be sued.

@@sunglee3935 what does that have to do with what i just said?

@@bear566 he ignores academy talent to play Antony who is the worst player in PL

@@sunglee3935 he doesn't ignore academy talent, we have already two of them starting. and those two are bloody good. so he will only bring those forth who will have such an impact on the first team. and he will obviously back his signing. not everyone in the academy is the next giggs or scholes

Thanks bro 🙏🏼

Thanks bro, any other videos you want to see?

Mate that’s the whole point I haven’t missed it. He hasn’t seen him there because he hasn’t played him

@@AtlantisFootball he plays him there every day in practice

@@joni.sirvio8867 practice day? He has to give him game time. He hasn’t

@@AtlantisFootballthey play, workout, train etc together everyday all day. He might have better view than us. Diallo surely is attacking vice really good. Defencive side was just my guess, because i cannot see it either. Only people in Carrington can.

@@joni.sirvio8867 it’s not mate, you’re just trying to rationalise bad decisions. He’s not playing him because he signed Antony and would rather try to play him into form than Amad. Amad 100% should be starting over Antony no debate

So again, your point comes down to the structure. We have had non football people running the club, doing negotiations, giving out hefty contracts to players without it being based on performance. The 500mil spend is not on ETH, but on the people in charge of transfers. Antony didn’t set his price, neither did Ajax initially, we could’ve got Antony and Licha for 40 mil. The men in charge waited till last minute, where obviously Ajax didn’t want to sell. Case was also the same case, last minute desperate signing instead of knowing the targets and following them in a window that lasts 2 months. It’s insane to judge a manager on the incompetence of the hierarchy.

Nah he’s defo not better than Elanga. He doesn’t start for Forest

Nah no way, Antony’s got the worse football IQ of any player in that United squad. Antony is only a baller in lower leagues not the PL. Elanga is far better

Surely Antony is not fit for purpose if Utd play transition based football. Think Antony would do well if we opt to play high up controlling possession, creating spaces and playing vertically without needing to cover much ground.

You say things as if they are factual!

@@AtlantisFootball I think Antony could be decent in a limited role at a smaller premier league club with less pressure on him. I don't think he or Elanga were ever of the quality to make this team and neither have even given flashes at this level.

No it’s not because Ten Hag decides which players are good enough for the first team. Nothing to do with FFP, the sales are so small in value it doesn’t even make much difference

Amad isn't homegrown though,we spent 37mil on him

I mean did say it in the video. Was only a month ago the second part

Rashford and Bruno don't have the physicality either 😂

@@zinedinezidane4771 They do for counter attacking imo but Rashford especially doesn't have the work rate and endurance for the heavy metal football ETH is aspiring to play. Both of Bruno and Rashford would be useless in a control/possession based system. Bruno lacks the tactical discipline and wonders out of midfield and Rashford lacks the decision making.

@@-_-DatDude oh sorry I get you now. And agree with everything you just said.

Agree. Elanga not real great. Teams play a lot different against Utd than they do against Notts Forest.

He does make these decisions because he is the manager. If he wanted them to stay they would stay lmao

He said "we aren't Man City"

It is the perfect time to throw in the youth players becahse the first team players ahead of them clearly aren’t good enough

@@AtlantisFootball disagree. Too Big a gamble when 4th is undecided and fa cup could be won with one good game. Fergie called this " the business end of the season" the previous 11 months is about getting to this stage , still in with a chance, with your tactics,squad, injuries, match fitness, as good as it can be, ready for the final 6 weeks. This is where you can win the treble, or nothing at all.

And to help you with your video title (because you dont know what you are talking about...). Amad has just been unlucky this season... he would have got games earlier on this season when Antony was out with the r*pe allegation but he was injured, and then Garnacho has made the RW his own, and has been un-droppable... Then came Omari Forson's contract renewal/negotiations and because he is stalling over signing a contract, hes been introduced ahead of schedule to the first team, ahead of Amad currently (which i dont agree with) purely to entice him to sign a new deal so he doesnt go to a rival for free in the Summer... Know what you are talking about before you make a video like an expert... im embarrassed for you...

Mate you’re talking complete nonsense. Luke Shaw ranks below the 30th percentile for all of his ball carryong metrics in his fbref report 🤣🤣 But “it’s his game”. Literally go check his fbref report 🤡

Ranks 9th for progressive carries, 33rd for carries into the final third and 16th for carries into the penalty area 👍🏼 “And “I don’t know what I’m talking about”

Commented on 5 of my other videos lmao, but “I don’t know what I’m talking about” you’re a fan bro 🤣

Well how can they prove they are better if he doesn’t play them

He can’t just throw in everyone! He has to do it slowly! I think players like Elanga, Hannibal, Pellistri , Garner are just not good enough 😊. I however agree on mistakes that Ten is making especially not giving the other goalie a chance 😢.

He should leave like pellestri to save his career. Ten hag is biased and favors Antony no matter how bad Antony is.

Should be sold, along side Pellistri and Antony, let’s be truthful to ourselves those guys don’t have a guaranteed future here. With INEOS coming in and United already escaped FFP issues ahead of the summer, they will most likely look for much more better RW players to fill up that position which will make these players drop further the pecking order regardless of if ETH is or isn’t the manager by then.

Amad is good technically but ten hag will play Antony ahead of him. And no matter how bad rashford is, he won’t be dropped. He should go to Spain where it’s not as physical and more technical

It’s not that. Antony shouldn’t be trusted going forward. This is literally how relegation sides think. He’s not playing Anad because he signed Antony

I’m not talking about wing backs I’m talking about full backs

​@@AtlantisFootball you said wingbacks stating malacia and Shaw are better as left centre backs. Check your own video from 5:38. I wouldn't have said anything if you said fullback.

@@TheChidmas my bad, but even still that’s still the same role as an inverted full back isn’t it. Not a traditional wing back

@@AtlantisFootballthere are three types of inverted full backs, Walker who becomes a centre back, Cancelo slides into DM and becomes a playmaker and Ndogi and Dalot moves into midfield but attacks the space between the fullback and centreback of the opposition. Shaw has been more constrained but I would say he's played both a traditional fullback and played both as the left centre back and the attacking inverted fullback at times. Wingback can be incredibly attacking like Grimaldo and Frimpong who I don't see as defenders since their position is very much as a winger. Prior to Ten Hag coming Shaw was a fullback in every sense. I disagree with your assessment of his profile same with malacia. I would say he plays him as a fullback not a wingback

@@TheChidmas right but he is playing as an inverted full back but in a back 5. In possession and out of possession

Triggering 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 don’t let your anxiety, generational trauma or pronouns get in too much of a twist .

You don’t know ball talking about garner 😂😂😂 that guy is average asf

Huh?

@@AtlantisFootball i appreciate very much your analysis. Both those players would be better than Mount. And you suggested well

Kulusevski only played a handful of games for Atalanta, but played on loan for Parma.

Amad clearly still has that potential, you can see it nearly every time he gets the chance to play but he is running out of time to actually develop it.

That’s nothing to do with it. Amad has barely been given chances

@@AtlantisFootball not open to it then ok. 👌🏽 no worries. Not saying there aren’t any other reasons, not saying what you’re on about in the video is wrong either. The reality is none of us really know what’s going on in Ten Hag’s head anyway.

@@BaldursPicketFence Amad is more than capable of doing the defensive work rate, he did it for Sunderland last season. Also at a club like United that’s not really going to be why a right winger is preferred to another unless it’s a big game. I’d say it’s likely because Ten Hag brought Antony in and his reputation hinges on his development rather than Amad

@@BaldursPicketFence if it was solely to do with tracking back he would have given him chances when he initially came back. Can’t show he is capable of doing it if ten Hag only gives him 20 mins here and there

Yes they do if they play like he has been playing

What are you talking about. Antony signing will defo haunt ten Hag when it comes to recruitment

@@AtlantisFootball you didn’t answer my question. You mentioned bad signings haunting managers in the past so give me an example of that happening?

What a joke. I like Ten Hag but this is a sackable offense on its own even if he didn't set the price. Antony is so one footed he should be registered disabled and the fact he smirks and smiles his way through his repulsive displays and gets upset when he is hooked shows what a horrid little cretin he is.

Throw in a lazy, sulking entitled arsewipe Rashford and a captain who throws his arms in the air like a petulant child everytime things don't go right and we can see why our dressing room is so toxic.

Not the point tho is it, Elanga is still better than Antony and Pellistri. Pellistri and Antony arent even PL standard

How does that make the video obsolete

Y'know what makes more sense than all this?! Ten Hag's Dutch.........and the Dutch are notoriously arrogant and pig headed when it comes to decision making (trust me, I've worked in Holland). Just look at what people said about Van Gaal and Cruyff, then understand that Ten Hag suffers from the same blinkered, narcissistic mentality.... When they're performing, everything's great! When they're not performing, everything goes to shit.....

It’s not worse vjdeo, you’ve not undestold anything I’ve said. Rewatch because I literally cover the points in the video. He is playing him becahse his reputation depends on it

Come on man, it’s pretty simply. I don’t see how you’ve misunderstood it

Huh? Everything I said is supported by evidence. He is the one who decides who goes and stays in the squad. Fernandez and Elanga should 100% still be in the squad

We are talking about the last 2 months

He’s barely played lol

@@AtlantisFootball and garnacho plays, it's about ability.

@@hama.fernandes no it’s not because players have to be given a chance. Amad is clearly good enough

@@AtlantisFootball If you don't get a chance in a slim squad like united that means your ability is not there,we had elanga who was bad for us and a Top 6-7 side but can do wonders for a top 15 side, he's still q kid though he can definitely improve.

@@hama.fernandes no it doesn’t because he should be getting a chance but Ten Hag is favouring Antony over him

Mate you’’ve just misunderstood the whole video . No one said every youth player had to be given a chance did they. We are talking about players who are sent on loan and then come back to the first team and are good enough to play in the squad but are then not given a chance. I don’t see how you’ve misunderstood that.

We should have kept him over Antony and Pellistri tho

@AtlantisFootball 100% agree but that's with hindsight, didnt think Antony was gonna be this poor and pellistri looked half decent coming on as a late sub

Yes they definitely are good enough to be in the squad. Elanga is clearly better than Pellistri and Antony.

It’s not hard to see Garnacho and Mainoo’s Talent. That is the culture at Ajax not ten Hag. If he had a good talent ID he wouldn’t have let Garner and Fernandez leave

@@AtlantisFootball just bcas he’s better doesn’t mean he’s good enough bcas he isn’t Elanga does well for Forest but everytime I see him play for them I see why he isn’t good enough for United

@@AtlantisFootball ok..what is the culture at United’s academy then??…bcas if we being honest most of them aren’t good enough

@@neozapolar5102 yes it does. Because that’s how you judge who stays in the squad. If Elanga is better than Antony and Pellistri then he should still be in the squad over them

What are you talking about? It’s not assumptions is it. It’s a fact that Fernandez has been sent out on loan. You need to get to grips with reality.

No they won’t lol, the club defo has the power to buy players, we got Varane and Casemiro from real only the other year

Shows he should

Garner was sold off so that's impossible in his case, and he didn't prove to be a big influence at his new club. I agree about the others though.
