We asked for your views on which youngsters you would like to see being given a chance under head coach Michael Carrick. Here are some of your comments:Christine: Mantato, Lacey, Kone and Obi are quality. Mark: Apart from the Fletcher twins and Kone, are any other midfielders from the youth team given a chance? The club aren't buying midfielders, so give the youth a chance as we did in 1995/96 and that didn't turn out too badly in the end, did it? It is about time we gave younger players a chance after spending lavishly for the last 12 years.
