Not sure why this is even happening, there are other clubs who don't even give a sniff to youngsters and they still stick around hoping to make it. Could it just be that we've been signing more foreign players to the academy than others?

Definitely feels like we are watching his final few performances for us. Just can't see him leaving it so late to sign an extension. It's a shame for sure because he has become more consistent and more influential over the course of the season, which is what most would have asked from his at this stage.
Way to go, if this rate continues we wont be very attractive to go to, too many youngsters from foreign countries just dont get a chance.
Amazing that we are letting go of yet another potential top class central midfielder after we lost Pogba. You think we would have learned after it happened so recently.
Really ? I didn't see today's game but to me he's still got the same problems this season as he had last season(Consistent and controlling a game). At this moment his position at the club is pretty fair (a regular starter for the U21's and training with the 1st team)and I don't think he's done enough to warrant anything more.
So? If we want consistency we might get in the likes of Rothwell, Harrop, Weir and other average talent, Pogba wasnt consistent either and he still isnt, that doesnt make him not ready to get a chance.
He's definitely showing more consistency and having more of a regular impact. I'd like to see him out on loan, as the next step in his developmement, but I seriously think we are seeing the last of him.
We should let him go either on a season long loan or a permanent with a pre-determined buy back clause.
How come this doesnt seem happen to other clubs, at least players like Thiago waited until they were out of their teens! If it is true Psv would be a good move for him but i wouldnt give up on a united career so early if i was him.
Why, if he proves himself good at PSV clubs like United will be aftee him in no time, just look at Depay.
Thiago was getting games at Barcelona. He had more of a reason to let it play out. Most of our youth don't get a chance due to age which is funny considering we built such a legacy by utilising younger talent.
Damn, not pleased with this. PSV is a good move by him, he needs constant game time, no doubt he's destined for big things. Hope he comes back here.
Not surprised. We are not the club for youth players these days. All we do is develop them and sell them on.
We aren't even making a tidy profit on them when we let players like Pogba leave on a free.
I don't know what could we have done better with him this year. The competition for his position is very high, superior players like Mata, Herrera and Januzaj are constantly left out of the first 11, how could he get games?
Disappointing to see him go, we can always buy him back for 40M, I guess.

Is the source reliable? Would be sad to see him go.
Too easy for us to sign him up to a new deal. We'll just buy him back for £20 - 30m in the next 2-3 years, once he becomes world class. Obviously, £10-15m of that few will be done on credit.
Thought van Gaal was all about giving youth a chance? Up to now he's only played youth, as we're lacking in the areas they play.

That is the truth if the matter. Players of his talent level are better off at clubs like PSV. They get to progress sooner and have more stability.

Fletcher got a few games ahead of him which was beyond stupid considering he was clearly on the way out of the club and Pereira has the potential to be the future. Anderson was also picked ahead of him a few times.
Very disappointing if this is true. I think we'll regret this one. He's got bags of talent.
What the hell is happening to this club.
PSV would deserve that money though, since he was their youth player for six years in the first place.
And Dutch clubs have been robbed time and time again of their talent over the years, Chelsea and City are probably the standouts. Hasn't done much good for those players and it's not good for the Dutch league in general.
I'd say United is pretty decent at giving youth players a shot. From our perspective it's understandable that we're not giving that many chances to Pereira at the moment, and from his perspective it's understandable that he doesn't want to sign a new contract.
His contract expires this summer.
Please god let this be a good will thing behind the scenes to tie up Memphis Depay. Sad to see a talented lad go though if true.
Disappointing, he hardly got a chance.
We signed him from PSV didn't we?
Indeed. We're proper shit at getting our young/all players to sign up.
Not good enough to play this year. We'll move on without him no bother at all.
The club has done little wrong here, although I'm sure the wankers amongst us will pretend otherwise.

There was no reason for Fletcher to get games ahead of him this season once it was noticeable that he was done at United. Even just minutes at the end of a match are important for a young player.
Fletcher and Anderson have played this season, this is really bad.
Are those 2 tweets, or whatever the sources are, reliable?
Doubt we'll see a Pogba like impact, if he does go. But if he impresses having left we're gonna have to look at our youth policy big time, even Adnan is struggling to get a run about this season.
Real shame if he leaves he's got bags of potential.
So frustrating.
Came on agains MKDons and looked really good, then never saw the light of day again... sad.
Exactly. Made no sense whatsoever. I'm not saying that he should have been starting ahead of Herrera or Fellaini but he certainly deserved to get the minutes Fletcher and Anderson got.
It is always a tricky game with youth players at a top club, especially with the situation Utd are in, it is difficult finding time for young players When you need points and consistent performances.
I can't blame the club for not being able to tie him down. PSV is a good move for him if he goes.

what a relief to be rid of a home-grown centre midfielder with bags of talent finally leave our books.
we've been overloaded in that department for about a decade now.

Thankfully we got Januzaj tied up to a long term deal based on last season.
Or he'd be considering leaving too possibly.
After Pogba got a chance in the first team, he really didn't impress in the reserves and this went someway to describing his lack of appearances at senior level.
With Pereira, he's been performing very well for the U21's and has really developed this season. For all of his talk about promoting youth, LvG has given Fletcher cameos ahead of this lad when it was clear that Fletcher had no future at the club and now it seems that partially as a result Andreas no longer has a future at the club .It'll be a real shame if he leaves, I really thought he could break through this season. Even if he gets performances now, I'd imagine his head has been turned enough that he'll stall a contract offer and most likely leave regardless of how man senior appearances he makes from now until the end of the season.
