5 reasons why Manchester United will finish in the top 4

2. The Lads

Be it the Busby Babes or Fergie’s Fledglings, one trait every United team has had in common is the backing of their youth products. As it stands, we could be witnessing yet another generation of youngsters making it big at the club. ‘Moyes Boys’, as we call them, have shown that they’ve grown up and can handle the heat of the top flight.

There’s a certain bit of an affinity that Moyes has with young players. The likes of Phil Jones, Tom Cleverley and Jonny Evans have featured dozens of times this season already. 18-year-old Belgian sensation, Adnan Januzaj would not have asked for more in his prayers back home. But thanks to the Scot, they all continue to feature heavily.

Phil Jones, especially, looks to be making an awful lot out of his chances with some majestic Duncan Edward-esque displays. His leadership and will to win has shone this season. He was tagged as a future England and Man United captain at 18, now you see why.
