Man Utd boss Ferguson says Gill, Corry Evans ones to watch

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson has nominated Oliver Gill as among players to watch.

Gill is the son of United chief executive David Gill and was booed by United fans last season over his father's association with the Glazer family.

Ferguson said: "At the moment we have a collection of young players who have been growing up at the club for the last few years like (Danny) Welbeck and (Jonny) Evans and (Darron) Gibson, and (Federico) Macheda. These young players are developing very well at the club.

"Some players are coming through like young (Oliver) Gill, and young Corry, Jonny Evans' brother.

"So we've a fine collection of young players who if you don't give them an opportunity they're going to stagnate and move to other clubs who'll get the benefit of the work we've done with them.

"We've had experience of that in the past, so we try to avoid that as best we can and make sure we make the right decisions about these boys' careers, because most of them are very good talented players."
