00:00 "Well I think that he's doing brilliantly for a young player and we're never slow
00:09 to put a young player into the seniors but he's only had a handful of games and
00:16 you have to be very careful development-wise in making those
00:19 decisions at the right time so we think ideally we should allow him that that
00:26 space to develop at his own speed. You know he's not at the point in terms of
00:33 number of games or that Jude or Bukayo were when they came in for the first
00:38 time but I repeat he's doing really well for young players, a good footballer you
00:43 can see that and he's getting some fabulous experience with Manchester
00:48 United at the moment and looks a really good character."
