John O'Shea is full of praise for the latest batch of kids coming through the Manchester United youth system.

In his blog for manutd.com, the Irish defender wrote: "I see their ability every day in training and that's why the manager has given them their opportunity. A lot has been made about other teams and how good their young kids are, but ours are definitely up there with the best of them.

"Just look at what Danny Welbeck did against Stoke. There are others as well - Possebon, Rafael, his brother Fabio, Gibson, Jonny Evans… it's a credit to everyone at the club as to how well they're doing.

"Danny's goal against Stoke looked like it was going straight at the keeper from where I was sat, but then it swerved away into the corner. It was an amazing goal, but a terrible celebration! When you score a goal like that it makes you hungry for more. He's a confident young lad, but also very down to earth. He's like a secret addition for us this season. Obviously other teams are aware of him now after that goal, but he's something different to what we've got - he's one of a kind."
