An area Utd always excelled in but seemingly a thing of the past
James Wilson the ideal example. If he were at any other clubs outside the top 4 he would probably be ahead of the likes of Austin & Vardy in the England reckoning, but because Utd keep buying [or lending] big name strikers he just isn't getting the chances he deserves. I really feel he has the ability to be the best natural striker England has produced since Michael Owen but whilst Utd have massive, underachieving names like RVP, Falcao in the squad the manager is always going to give them far more opportunities than a young kid who cost nothing
There will never again be a class of 92 , many of those would never get a start these days, let alone fill a team . The demand for instant success is so great that players aren't allowed to settle in to a team , they have to instantly ready & produce instantly
Put another way, put James Wilson at Burnley, Leicester or QPR & he is ahead of Ings , Vardy & Austin. I even believe if he were at Spurs he would have done what Kane has done
Other examples of real talent never really getting a chance & going to waste are Zaha & Powell
