Saka is a classic example of a young player improving when give the chance to with experience.
But nowadays a manager has to have the full backing of his board to go down that road - because these young players will inevitably make mistakes - some of which may come with a heavy price - and that could ultimately cost the manager his job.
It's why managers like Mourinho, Guardiola, and whichever manager happens to be in charge of Real Madrid this week are reluctant to do it.
