Could young Reds feature in the run-in?

The defeat at Everton has led to calls from supporters for some of the club's promising talents to be promoted into the senior squad, particularly on the back of the Under-18s' excellent run to the FA Youth Cup final.

However, Webber and Brown, who both came through the Reds' Academy, were in agreement during this week's episode of The Debate that first-team minutes need to be earned and the timing must always be right for any teenagers hoping to get their chance at Old Trafford.
