Teen's debut double launches United's future

Manchester United's past and future collided as debutant James Wilson scored twice in a 3-1 win over Hull City on Tuesday that marked the end of stalwart Nemanja Vidic's Old Trafford career and set tongues wagging about Ryan Giggs.
Wilson, 18 years old and one of two debutants in the game, scored in each half before Matty Fryatt pulled one back for Hull and Robin van Persie added a third for United in its final home game of a turbulent season.
Wilson stole the headlines, but an emotional finish to the night focused on those at the other ends of their careers.
