I agree with you, and it's just a problem everywhere with young players I think. It's not a question of whether they're good, because they are. But even looking at Spurs, how easy is it to find someone to sit on the bench for ~70 minutes and watch Kane score and then come on to mop up? Not very, and certainly not enticing, so players aren't wanting to do that.

It's slightly different at United, but not really. They're behind Lukaku/Sanchez etc. and want their shot. If they get time, it's playing against lower league competition in FA Cups or League Cups or whatever. I can see why looking elsewhere becomes more enticing.
