Regan was very good at Newport County. He could even play as a Defensive Midfielder. He is very comfortable moving about with the ball, and pressing forward, a quality most centre defenders do not have.

Fair play to Utd they have give young defenders a chance over the last 2 seasons: Blackett, McNair, Borthwich-Jackson etc. so it's probably the best place for him to be at that level.

Hope he gets on but this Danish team look pretty good early doors so it's by no mean an easy introduction. I think it's too late for him to muscle in on a place for France but i'd rather they called him up to cover injuries than some hack in his late 20s with a couple of caps to his name.

If he plays regularly in both Europa and epl then he'll definitely make the squad - but that's unlikely. Definitely agree with your point about the injury cover call up. |

McNair, Love, and Lingard go to show how playing for Manchester United is no big deal these days. Poole shouldn't feel too flattered.
Van Gaal is a woeful manager.

I'm sure when Jose takes over at united his chances will be diminished as well as all the other young British players at Utd?

It would be a massive achievement for him and great for us. Also if these three above were Welsh we would be rejoicing at how 'bright our future is' and yet as they are not Welsh they are dismissed as being average or worse. |

These players will end up in league one. I haven't got a crystal ball and cannot predict the future. In the present however they are playing games for the manchester united first XI and I would be made up for Regan Poole if he joins them. Particularly to show Cardiff that they made a big mistake in releasing him and they should have a rethink about the cohesion (or lack thereof) between the youth academy and the first team. |

Poole is 17 whereas McNair is 20, Love is 21 and Lingard is 23, so I think he has a far better chance of making it to the top than those three. Love is perhaps the best prospect of those three, Lingard won't go anywhere unless he suddenly does a Kane and McNair is simply not good enough. Just watch his marking on Charlie Austin.

Playing for Manchester United at 17 would be a great accomplishment, 15 years ago. In their current direction though, they seem poised to create more Luke Chadwicks than Nevilles/Scholes/Ronaldos. They've just lost to a team younger than Poole. If he was at Man City, Chelsea or Arsenal on the bench, I might be more inclined to take such views seriously. |

And wtf were Cardiff thinking in releasing him?!

Anyone see this tweet by Danny Gabbidon who was on City's coaching staff until recently?
Gabbidon himself isn't the tallest. Nor was Franco Baresi. Ridiculous to think that size still matters to some coaches

As a Newport County fan, Aaron Collins - Wolves, Lee Evans - Wolves, now Regan Poole to Manchester United, it is exciting to see our young local lads getting League Two football, and progressing their careers. Hats off to Michael Flynn, and Byron Anthony, both former players from Newport with years of Football League experience, glad they have returned to their home city and are working with the academy (albeit Flynn is now assistant manager).
We even have recently had a massive cut from the Conor Washington move from Peterborough to QPR.
With that said, I can imagine Poole being loaned to a Championship club (preferbly his fave club, Cardiff City).

Well done Newport County & its an incentive for all the young players released by Cardiff & Swansea to try & sign for Newport. Wrexham have also been selling youngsters to premiership clubs & Wolves for years |

Regan Poole not in the U21 squad - possible call up for full squad on Friday given Collins and Dummett are out?

Interesting interview with Regan on the BBC... Regan Poole: Man Utd's Welsh teenager out to impress Mourinho and Coleman www.bbc.com/sport/football/37307906France was fantastic whilst the road to Russia has already begun with a bang. The golden generation for Wales are living up to their billing. A group of players who grew up together through the age groups have and hope to continue creating Welsh football history. The task of following in their footsteps is perhaps a daunting one, but when you've already broken records before your 17th birthday, history is not something that weighs heavily on your shoulders. Regan Poole, now 18, became Newport County's youngest ever player in 2014 and in 2015 swapped Rodney Parade for Old Trafford. And now the Manchester United defender is one of Wales' hopes for the future. "I've become a much better player since I've been at United, they've improved me massively," said Poole after making his debut for Wales Under-21 as their campaign to reach the finals of Euro 2017 fizzled out. "I loved my time at Newport, but it was time to move on and become a better player. "It's a lot of technical work at United and when I first joined I struggled a little bit, I'll admit that because being at Newport when you're in the first team it's more results based and much more physical. "When you win, you win, whereas when you're with the reserves, it's all about becoming a better player and aiming to get into that first team. "It's a lot of footwork and a lot of ball work, but in League Two it's very different." In 12 months at Old Trafford, Poole has already made an impression and made his debut, coming off the bench in a Europa League game against FC Midtjylland in February. He admits his year has been "a bit crazy", but since joining, Jose Mourinho has replaced Louis van Gaal and spent heavily in the transfer market, nearly £150m this summer on big-name recruits. Poole, though, doesn't believe that will necessarily hinder his chances of breaking into the first team. "I've spoken to him [Mourinho] and he's a really nice guy," said Poole. "He's brought a lot of signings in this summer with Paul Pogba and the others. "They've got quite a big squad, but you can only look up and you can only stay positive and keep working hard every day in training and hopefully when you get your chance, you've just got to take it again. "Maybe I'll get a chance in the cups - I never know if he'll [Mourinho] change it round. I've just got to keep thinking positive. "The first step is training with them, when you do that you've got to show people what you're about. "That's what my aim is now to get in there, I've been there once and I want it more and more." Poole's Old Trafford debut drew comparisons with former United defender Rio Ferdinand, while others have tipped him for senior Wales honours in Chris Coleman's team soon. "Of course that's a long-term goal," Poole added. "I'm with the under-21s now and I want to cement my place here, but that's the next step definitely. "It would be a huge honour for me and my family. "To see everyone coming through with the under-21s shows how much of a good age group set up we've got here with Wales. "It shows anything is possible." You would have heard similar things from the likes of Aaron Ramsey and Joe Allen eight years ago, maybe Wales' next generation just does have a gold future after all. |
