O'Shea tips Man U's youngsters to dominate for a decade if they retain title

London, Apr 22(ANI): Former Manchester United defender John O'Shea has said if the Red Devils win the Premier League title this season with its youngsters then heaven would help everyone else, as they are on their path to dominate the league for another decade.

O'Shea, who plays for Sunderland, insists that if United win their 13th Premier League crown this term, then Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal will be left with long-lasting scars.

United's team this season has included young players like David de Gea, Danny Welbeck and Rafael, all 21, Tom Cleverley and Chris Smalling, both 22, and Phil Jones, 20, and O'Shea believes City have blown away a golden chance.

"If you can win the League in a transitional stage, by giving younger players a chance to blood themselves in, then heaven help everyone else. The belief and experience they will get from winning the League will mean they will get better and better," The Daily Star quoted O'Shea, as saying.

"It's not that United have been under par this season - because they have really showed their mettle when they had to - going back to February and early March when they won five and drew one of six difficult games," he added.

"But this will be the making of a new team and even if City go out and spend God knows how many more millions on their team, nothing can take away from the fact that a group of young, talented players have grown up as men and as winners. Winning the league is priceless in terms of developing a team's spirit," he said. (ANI)
