Young And Old

Apparently Sir Alex will give his latest crop of fledglings a run around in the Carling Cup final since they performed so admirably in the penultimate match. They will most likely be pitted against the more experienced Tottenham Hotspurs in what should be a decent game of young verses old. Here's a related fact:

Average age of United's starting 11 against Derby on Tuesday: 24

Average age of Tottenham's starting 11 against Portsmouth on Sunday: 24

A team of fledglings? No. A team largely consisting of players who will either one day play for Middlesborough or else continue to remain second-string for United until the end of their sad careers? Quite possibly.
