SAF did give a chance to youngsters, but only in league cup.

kids below 20 hardly get the chance to play in premier league matches. either that, or we din have any promising youngsters during SAF time aside from ronaldo, rooney (which were not from our youth team), the class of 92, macheda (few matches?) and welbeck. Lingard, Pogba, Michael Keane, etc, they din get any chance in the premier league matches. Instead players like Giggs, Scholes and Rio were relied on.
that is why Pogba left. and DM is trying hard not to repeat that.
its like comparing RVP and Fellaini leh
SAF has given a lot of chances to a lot of young players over the years.
Random thought is, maybe he didn't give Pogba a quicker run because :
1) He wanted to ease him in slowly, but Pogba was just not willing to wait anymore and once it was clear Pogba was heading out SAF ignored him.
2) SAF was thinking of to trying and seal a final EPL win under his management and retire the season before he did, and because of this was a bit more ready to depend on the more experienced guys to get the job done.
An unfortunate loss, especially considering how well Pogba has done since his move. Then again with youngsters it can be a bit hard to say how they will turn out, so it's a bit harsh to complain. Remember when Cleverley first broke into the team and was on form (until Kevin Davies injured him), he was looking so good and getting so much hype. Nowadays he gets a lot of brickbats
