What FIFA 19 career mode predicts for Manchester United's most promising youngsters

Manchester United have a number of exciting young talents that have emerged from their youth system this season.

United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has not hesitated to include the club's young players in first team training sessions and matchday squads, such is the talent that he has at his disposal.

Young striker Mason Greenwood got his first start for United against Cardiff on the last day of the 2018/19 Premier League season, whilst the likes of James Garner, Angel Gomes and Tahith Chong have all made appearances off the bench in this campaign.

There is a lot of excitement about the current crop of youngsters, with the feeling that they have the talent to become first team regulars in years to come.

So, do they have the talent to become first team regulars for Manchester United?

And how good can they become?

We used FIFA 19 to find out.

Manchester United might have found their perfect Ander Herrera replacement

We started a new FIFA 19 career mode save, managing Manchester United, and we simmed the next seven years to see how much Manchester United's youngsters would develop.

We didn't play any games manually, or use any of the training features to improve the players, we just simulated the game to see what would happen.

This is how much Mason Greenwood, Tahith Chong, Angel Gomes and James Garner improved after seven years.
