Wenger questions Man Utd kids: Not up to it

Former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has questioned Manchester United's youth policy.

Solskjaer's side entertain Leicester City at Old Trafford in the Premier League on Saturday, and ahead of the clash with the Foxes Wenger says that some of the United players are simply “not ready" to take on the mantle of regular starters for the club.

“When you see Man Utd they are one of the examples where there is a potential there,' the former Arsenal boss told beIN Sports.

“But they have not found a collective way. Maybe these players are not mature enough to carry the team play of a team like Man Utd all together.

"That's the big question mark now. You feel there is something coming out but it's not ready.

“That's why I say when you watch them play they are not candidates to fight for the championship.

“Will they emulate what Giggs, Scholes, Beckham did over a number of years? Personally I'm not convinced."
