Man Utd's TRANSFORMED Academy: Mainoo & Garnacho Are Only The Start 📈 

Mainoo and Garnacho are the 2 latest breakthrough academy stars at Manchester United but more are coming. Our academy really is in the strongest position it has been in years and the quality of players coming through are higher than they have been in a long time. Let me explain it a bit more and the players you should be looking out for.

ten Hag is crucial for the Academy. He believes in young players, we need him now more than ever

Protect these lads at all costs I beg the club. We had seen and dreaded the wasting of great talents in the past decade on the likes of Pogba, Lingard, Morrison, Welback, Andres Pereirra, Chong, Fosu-Mensa, Tuanzebe, Greenwood and even Rashford now. Give these lads guidance. Teach the disciplines and work ethics. Let them know that talents would only take them so far and it's hard work that will bring them to the next level. Don't let them wither under pressure or glory.

Again I would like to say thanks Sam for not being like many United fan channels pumping out negative headlines for views. Keep doing you mate and keep the positive vibes, top man.👹

Dan Gore and Isak Hanson are the two im looking forward to seeing very similar level of potential as Mainoo, not mention Shea Lacey

The greatest privilege as a football fan is seeing youth come through, despite how bad the situation is at Manchester united, players like Mainoo and Garnacho give you genuine hope. Kambwala aswell he doesn't look phased. I'd love it if in 5 years time we had 7 or 8 youth as 1st teamers

garnacho reminds me of young ronaldo with sir alex he would play both wings very well, I remember when Ronaldo said ge doesn't care what position he's put he just wants to play and perform i can see garnacho has that mindset too , very soon garnacho should be given that #7 shirt he deserves it

One of the main attributes about Kobbie I love is how he plays the simple things in the game sooo easily, doesn't try to over complicate things. Sounds so silly saying this but it's such a refreshing change

Not talked enough: the class of 92 was actually recruited. Beckham, Scholes and Giggis were brought in at 14 yo. Same as Garnacho now. We need to build that leg of recruitment as well as first team recruitment.

It really shows how much attention the commentary team a paying (obviously they're both Talksport) that they not only didn't give Mainoo motm, they didn't once comment on how good he is for his age

Hoping Kai Rooney comes through soon too - his numbers are crazy!

I think Ten Hag's strength is bringing the best out of the youths.

Eth is the man to take us to the next level with the youngsters imo, it’s his strength and rn the youngsters are showing the big boys levels

it's a shame greenwood popped under solskjaer and not Hag. Would have sorted the discipline, made him better and most probably things wouldn't have ended up they way they did

We need to trust erik, i remember watching his ajax side rip holes in a real madrid defense that had the likes of Sergio ramos, he has a plan of how he wants to see this team play we need to be patient, remember sir alex did not start so well either and look at his legacy , ggmu!!

The development of garnacho has been mental from claims that he'll be the next Ole (a super sub), that he can't start games because he's not good enough to now being one of our best players on the pitch most games in just 1 season, mental

That picture of ten hag rubbing Gernachos head is wholesome ❤ definitely makes you smile 💯🔥

Tbh academy recruitment has often been good at manutd, even post Fergie. And I think it's because recruitment there isn't centered around any one manager and his biases, rather we just look to recruit really talented players. First 11 recruitment on the one hand suffers a lot because of different managerial biases. We've basically recruited ETHs former players since he came here instead of being objective. We need to adopt whatever academy recruitment strategy they're using.

One thing i have noticed not just once or twice. When our youngsters like Mainoo against Bayern in the last 10mins or Kambwala debut against West Ham, were confident & tried to carry the ball or dribble past 1 or 2 players, their teammates - the seniors around them were not ready for it. There were no movement, no connection, no helping, no teamwork, no understanding. Therefore, backpass - the safest choice. That will become a habit. And the thing is if we don't sell these seniors quickly, our youngsters will get sucked into this mindset, this mentality. For example, Garnarcho at this age needs a mentor who is experienced & definitely not Rashford..someone like Perisic or Willian from maybe 2 years ago

Great video Sam love it I totally agree this current crop at U18 is awesome 👏🏼

GLORY GLORY, MAN UNITED ACADEMY 😁👍🏼

❤🎉 The academy products are now more mature n more better than other players they splash huge sum of money to buy

I just love the way ganarcho support he fellow young lad makes feel this kid has a future captainship in him and he know United

Fantastic!!! Thanks for sharing, mate. The future looks pretty positive.

Contents like this are awesome too. Not just the past and the present, the future is something interesting to look at. Great work!

Great to hear good news from the team we love and support.

The positive videos are a breath of fresh air. The majority of united RU-vid fan channels are very negative atm, it’s depressing.

Shea Lacey, Gabriele Biancheri, The Fletcher twins "who I believe are close to switching their from England to Scotland, Dan Gore and several others the future is looking good for the club!

Bendito Mantato is also top left footed talent who plays for the under 16....So quick with delicious left foot

Shea Lacey & Amir Ibragimov r the ones to look out 😊. As Sir Matt Busby said,“If u r good enough, u r old enough”

Looking forward to seeing Gabe Biancheri in the first team. A great striker at 16 in my opinion.

What a video Sam..!! The whole potter scenario makes sense. Potter didn’t have it at Chelsea hence his struggles. I’m backing ETH now and always will. I hope this new system works, with ETH. But if it doesn’t work, then Potter makes sense

isak hansen-aarøen is also a very good player

Like it or hate it ten haag is doing great work with the academy.

Great vid! I enjoy learning more about the youth teams :)

Isak Hansen-Aarøen is the one i'm excited to be given some chances he looks the real deal in the snippets i've seen of him.

Let's not get carried away, it's early days for Mainoo and Garnacho, potential, that's it, Rashford got hyped look at him now

I always thought Mengi would have made it through seems to be doing well at Luton,

I am getting class of 92 vibes looking at who has come through and those just 1 step behind

ETH took over oversight of the academy last year

We still need to improve the level of strikers in the academy though. Its one area that we seem to really lack in really good quality. Joe hugill has a mental academy goals record but he still looks a long way off the levels he needs to be at to push for 1st team. Credit to Nick cox, Ten hag and the club for turning it around. I think it will only get better under ineos and ratcliffe as well. Lots of investment coming. The future is looking bright red

Ah yes, I am glad that United fans still cherish the indelible contributions of the former Liverpool and Man City captain. After all, he built the club brick by brick in the post-war era.

Enjoy your Video's Sam , but the audio level seems abit Low on this one .. thanks

The academy also has a role to develop players and sell them for good value. City and Liverpool do this particularly well. Very key for FFP since all the money earned for selling youth players allows for greater investment.

Remember even if these academy players only become squad players - thats ok - the Academys job isn't necessarily to produce world class stars but rather those that can supplement the first team squad - and then you go an buy the real first teamers

Looking forward to watching some of these kids grow into the 1st team, Gore and Isak Hansen should go on loan to dortmund or a club like PSV

Jack and Shea are the real deal Jack is giving a Scholes vibe with his passing range Shea is like a morden day Giggs

The best thing is if all these talents break through we avoid all the problems of FFP (because it applies to us unlike that other club) as well as paying over the odds for average players that inevitably fail.

Every year we promote a new player from the academy I treasure that so much ❤

It is said History can repeat itself, but it usually just happens with the same colours. One can hope these academy players can paint history, with the colours of the past.

Amass, Missin & Wheatley are also impressing.

Edward Fletcher from Leeds ( Darren Fletcher son an electrician) is future of Manchester United striker… he’s golden boy next world class player

Kambwala replaces lindelof as 4th choice and we sell varane and maguire for the likes of todibo and yoro.With Martinez that’s an incredible choice of young versatile cbs of which all can play full back too

I was disappointed EtH didn't start Dan Gore instead of McTominay against Wigan last night, it was the perfect opportuniy to do so, with very little attendant risk.

I am really enthustiatic about Uniteds youth program at the moment. Want to see where it is all going before change in managment.

Gotta remember Isak Hansen Aaron first to breakthrough to first team before Lacey and Ibragimov

I'm excited to see them all... but one I'm really excited to see come through whom wasn't mentioned is Kai Rooney!

Jack Fletcher is a player that I like the look of. Very good player from what I have seen.

I think the last few years has shown us that we can’t be relying on our scouting and recruitment department in finding the right profile of players in the transfer windows. We should be putting most of our efforts into developing and bringing through our youth players now more than ever

It’s an interesting point on the academy Sam. As if you’re a young talented player, there’s only really one team that consistently develops it’s academy players into first team players and that’s Utd. City might that the better academy and pull, but surely young players must realise that you won’t make it there.

Our academy seems stacked in midfield. I just hope we can get more defenders in future from the academy.

Shea lacey is a great talent🙌🏾 look out for him reminds me of foden like

I wish van gaal was still there by now hugill could have got some minutes

Lacey is a gem, our rashford replacement in 3yrs

Amas at LB is a good prospect too.

ten hag being good with the academy player isn't suprising. He's been at ajax, which has arguably the best academies in the world. Also, should have included Kai Rooney in the list. He's only 14, but has been a complete sensation

The amount of incredible talent we have coming through our ranks is incredible man. Our youth system is a massive part of our club & potentially could save us millions in the market provided they're developed in the right way & keep their feet grounded. The likes of Gore, Kambwala, Fish, Lacey, Fitzgerald, Jack & Tyler Fletcher, Wheatley among others it's so exciting. If your good enough yoir old enough. Of course these youngsters need to earn the right to play on the first team but with so many of them already training with the first team squad it'll hopefully inspire them to knuckle down & keep working hard. Under The likes of INEOS building a team for now & the future has to be our way forward. No more pissing money up the wall on these big name players. We gotta build around the likes of Hojlund, Mainoo & Garnacho

Top content as always Sam 🫡

i was expecting a Gabriele Biancheri mention tbh but then again our midfield is over stacked atm in the academy

He was MOM! Great Display,we have others like Ahmad,Gore,Pellistry,Hanniball & kwambala

Hansen-Aaroen? I think he plays CAM, I think he is someone to watch too.

Obviously not your fault but you’ve left one out. Isak Hansen-Aørons. He currently feels under appreciated, can’t blame him, and might leave on a free this summer.

Yes, we sold Iqbal & Emeran in the summer with unbelievable prices 😂 and us fans were furious. If it's about the price, blame Murtough or Arnold or maybe the same dude that negotiated with Ajax to get Antony for €95m

For me Mainoo is the real deal. He has everything you’d want in a midfielder in his position. He’s never had a bad game, his baseline of performance is a 7/10 and that’s because his ability and IQ is very high. That’s the level of player we should be accepting to come through the ranks and not handing out debuts for the fun of it. When Ten Hag leaves we can at least be happy he let Mainoo come through. The jury is still out on Garnacho to be a starter for a Man Utd team that is going to win titles. Talent wise he’s not better than Welbeck, Rashford or Januzaj at his age but he does have the mentality and determination which can take him far but only so far. I think he’ll be a Rashford level at best and that’s not good enough to win titles. Rashford should’ve been a squad player. Garnacho has his moments but he isn’t special at anything. He’s not a top dribbler, finisher or crosser of the ball. He’s just OK ability wise. I personally think he’ll be in Osasuna or somewhere similar in a few years because he’s not got the ability to play at the top level. There is no excuse for being young. I’ve seen Rooney at 16 boss Arsenal. When you’ve watched enough football you can see who’s going to be a worldie imo. From the academy I think Shea Lacey looks quality. His close control and finishing looks class at the moment. Dan Gore is potentially a good player as he’s tenacious, great balance and a good ball carrier. He also has the determination. Not sure on Fletchers sons, never seen them but im concerned about the jobs for the boys stuff. If they’re good then they’re good but Darren fletcher needs removing from his position tbh, I hear he does F all.

That is one wickness of EtH imo, deciding what he feels/thinks. Come on, give the boys the benefits of the doubt and give them the opportunities they crave. They all want to prove themselves. Diff players develop faster than others. But when they develop under the proper environment you may be looking at a new, ‘class of (whatever you call them). Play them with 4 or 5 senior players in a game.

PAST 7 Years, they produce good first team 11 in Rashford,Mainoo,Garnacho,Greenwood and Elanga

The future is bright for us

I just hope ten hag does stay and help build the future of united

People talking about Garner but if Garner really loved the club he would have kept his head down and showed his quality.

Adam berry is also top class many people don’t know about him

Garnacho cross for Hoyland was a peach. Deserved a goal

In like 5-6 years, Rooney’s kid will be in the first team. Crazy to think how time flies!

Hi same reminder when Erik ten hag come in he has changed some things in the academy

You forgot the wee left full amoss or something like that

As long as they dont get a couple of games and then are sold off for next to nothing like Elanga, Iqbal, Savage, Garner etc. Loan them but dont sell in case they turn out to be good

i hear lots of people saying "play the kids", turns out the kids are our starters (mainoo, garnacho, hojlund)

I want kambwala playing every game in rcb. At the very least Give varane rest after 70 mins & play him Ideally write off season & focus on play time for youth with potential like Dan & kambwala

John o'shea, Gary neville, Phil neville, Wes Brown, John Evans. Phil Bardsley, pique, Williams, Simpson! 😂

S. Leysea is my absolute talent

I would like to see Dan Gore and Aarons Hansen in the first team.

La Manchester united 😮🔥

Spoiled by the class of '92, give me an academy player breaking through over any big name signing any day

The players look good from the academy. How's the goalkeepers from the academy Sam? Great video Sam

I would like to see Dan Gore get more chances and also Hansen Aaroen

I’ve been excited about it since Januzaj.

Dan Gore is KDB in the making ❤

Dan Gore is the one for me next season

Maino casemiro bruno Greenwood garnacho hojlund I would like to see that

Shea lacy is my man I so much trust him

Kai, Edson, Tunde also
