What formation are you playing?
You do all of that in the first season, and you'll get yourself whupped. I get the fun in making a young team, but any team is developed slowly. So many changes in the first season, to the first team will spoil your team cohesion completely, and you'll start to lose. Also, van Persie and Rooney both are beasts in the latest version, although it is advisable to keep RvP as he is a better tutor. RvP as a poacher and Rooney as a F9 in the correct tactical setup will get around 20-30 goals easily in the first season..

Let's see, based on my United save atm:
De Gea
Chambers/Clyne/Rafael - Jones - Evans/Ginter - Shaw
Verratti - Barkley
Powell/Mata - Januzaj - JWP/Hughes
Wilson (United U18s)/Werner
There are a number of other notable exclusions, of course, but most of that team is English.
Also, this. 2 or 3 signings a season, work hard on team cohesion, sell on your old players before they depreciate in value as well.
trying to get clyne aswell, is januzaj a better AP than mata ? becuase ive always player januzaj on the left and rooney though the middle as either AP or SS
JWP ?
Januzaj works very well actually as a SS in a central-right position for me (3 AMCs behind an AF).
