#4 A learning curve for Axel Tuanzebe
Trending
With a full-blown injury crisis hovering the club since the last month or so, Jose Mourinho has been forced to look at some of the academy players to make up the numbers in the first team squad. Axel Tuanzebe has been one of the most promising names to emerge from the Manchester United academy in recent years and the manager gave the youngster his full debut in the last week's 2-0 against Arsenal.
He was deployed as the right back against Alexis Sanchez and proved to be a shrewd move by the manager as Tuanzebe neutralised Sanchez's threat from the left.
Against Spurs, Tuanzebe was played in a midfield role alongside Michael Carrick and was given the job of man-marking Christian Eriksen. He started the game well but after the first goal looked deflated just as his other teammates. He was substituted on the hour mark as this was a performance which may make him understand the nuances of playing in the Premier League better. All in all, it has been a breakthrough season for the talented teenager.
