Better give the youngsters a chance, it sounds from Manchester. But the junior team is also last, Chelsea with stars lost ignominiously to Fulham

In addition to the Premier League, there are two rounds of England’s top under-21 competition. Manchester United are as miserable as the A-team, Chelsea with three defenders with PL experience got a three from Fulham.

That Manchester United are having a terrible start to the league is obvious from looking at the table. Worse still, however, is the fact that they have yet to lead once, and in neither game have they been able to get into a rhythm late on to at least equalise.

The Red Devils supporters are understandably upset, they don’t understand the deployment of the 175 centimetres tall Lisandro Martinez at stopper, they don’t like the Brazilian Fred in midfield either. They’d rather see their youngsters play.

But their youngsters are in the same boat. Two rounds, zero points, last place and high losses 1: 3 to Arsenal and 1: 5 to Crystal Palace. Any interesting names? None of the struggling squad stands out.

Two strikers and two stoppers leftChelsea before the season and especially the first fact made Blues fans very nervous. Thomas Tuchel is putting his team in a three-stopper formation and the departure of Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger will be felt in time.

Summer signing Kalidou Kouibaly was expected to take their positions and the experienced Cesar Azpilicueta will rotate on the right side with the pair of youngsters Ethan Ampadu, Trevoh Chalobah. However, the two talents have only featured for the Under-21 team so far and they cut quite an embarrassing figure on Monday.

Both of them were in the starting line-up when Chelsea lost to Fulham U21 0:3.The opponent was without players with Premier League experience, while the Blues had the great diamond of English football Carney Chukwuemeka or even A-team mainstay Ben Chilwell from the opening minute.
