Louis van Gaal has given youngers some playing time this season with Timothy Fosu-Mensah, Cameron Borthwick-Jackson, Regan Poole and Marcus Rashford all featuring for Manchester United due injuries at the club.
Nemanja Vidic in an exclusive interview with MUTV said on young players at the club:
“I think it’s more difficult for defenders, especially when you have three or four of them playing together in the same match. For the young players who come in up front, you need that energy, imagination, happiness… you can let them play and be more free, but, in defence, I think you need someone who can lead these young boys.

"United have always brought youngsters into the team and of course they have ability, they have shown that in the games they’ve played but, when you want to win the trophies, you have to patient with them. You have to give them the right matches, develop them slowly so you can think about keeping them there for many years.
"It’s a longer process not just for the defenders but even for attackers. You have to be careful how you develop them. You have to accept that Manchester United always need to win trophies and when the club don’t, players have to accept some criticism and that can be hard for the younger ones to take. They need some experienced players to take that weight off their backs."
Timothy Fosu-Mensah played for Manchester United in the game against Jordan Ayew’s Aston Villa over the weekend.
A goal from Marcus Rashford officially relegated Ayew’s Aston Villa from the English Premier League.
