Couldn't quite tell. Was baker more of an attacking mid or central? Be good if he was central although he looked comfortable throughout. 

 
Just watched it as live without knowing the score...well that was as dominant a 2-1 as you will ever see...Utd had one good bit of attacking play out of nowhere, but apart from that we were in total control...Utd just sat back and did very little...the best thing they did was hearing their fans sing the Gerrard chant!

Thought baker, lotus-cheek and Christensen stood out, swift looked good too and masonda just needs to find a trick to go outside as coming inside he's very good...

As for that talentless, gobby little runt Pearson, how he wasn't sent off, I don't know...if that's the future at Utd, no wonder they're sh*t

As soon as I saw him i thought he was the next Gary Neville

 
Another good quality game, they deserved there win and trophy, quite a few stand out performances, the stand out for me was

Ola Aina who is only 17 year old (18 in October) if he keeps on improving he will be a fine prospect. this under 21 side is a very

good young side, so the future looks bright.

 
 
Quality game from our young guns.

Let's see if we see any of them next season.

Christensen, Baker, Ake, and Loftus looked the business tonight. Absolutely dominated midfield.

Nice, proof that there's talent in our youth system, its time to start using it

They keep getting to the FA youth cup final, and now they win the league. Nothing else can be asked of them, it's time to give them more of a chance.

 
Credit to Baker for leading a zigger zagged chant in front of the supporters during the celebrations.

They've won the league and the FA Cup.

They've done the freaking double. Nothing more can surely be asked of them to prove themselves. I'll be extremely disappointed if we do not see these lads make appearances, not just cameos either, in the first team next season.

 
Great for the youngsters to win at Old Trafford and the victory was thoroughly deserved.

That said, have seen most of our lads play better than they did last night but it was a good team performance and we always looked the team in control, other than a nervy few last minutes.

Great that the academy has produced two pieces of silverware and it show's we're heading in the right direction but as Drummy said, the next step HAS to be one or two going on to become first team squad members.

 
I thought loftus-cheek was poor, Ake was the dominant one in the middle. I honestly think Ruben will be gone before long.

Swift looked tidy, Ake looked impressive (with international and senior exposure, he should do)

Baker was fantastic for the majority.

 
Ake, that kid looks like the guy who made me follow chelsea...i hope he makes it for us.

Dennis wise?He looks like he has similar laid back style to gullit too. I thought loftus cheek played really well last night, less running with the ball and more dictating the pacecabd rhythm. When he did run he caused havoc though.

 
Aké looks like Wisey? Do you have the eyesight of Wenger? ;) 'The guy' is surely Gullit.

It's funny how we can all have such differing opinions when we watch the same game. I don't think Loftus-Cheek was either poor or that great last night. He did some things really well but he is often too careless and laid-back and it happened on a number of occasions again last night (although he wasn't the only culprit). I know these are young lads who are still developing and hopefully learning from their mistakes but some traits need to be ironed out early.

For me the best players last night were Ola Aina, Christensen and Musonda who looked dangerous every time he got the ball although he did fade in the second half.

 
Ake and Kalas have obviously been on the edge of the first team for a while now, and then Swift towards the end of the season.  This win will obviously show the club that we have some great talent on our hands, and that they SHOULD be pushing for starts.

However, I think what this has done is merely alert the club as to who the next batch of loanees should be.  I fully expect Christensen, Ake, Swift, Baker and maybe Ruben (been a bit in and out this season) to all be off on loan next season to either lower Prem or Championship level clubs.
