Andy Mitten is at Old Trafford to talk about Manchester United's Academy, what level is it at in 2024?
Subscribe to the next 10 issues of United We Stand magazine here: www.uwsonline.com/subscribe.php
One of the highlights of the 23/24 season for Man Utd has been to see the emergence of Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo as first team regulars, continuing the clubs proud tradition of youth development.
With recent success for the U18's winning the Premier League North title and also the Premier League Cup it's a good time to think about where the clubs youth system is at currently and how success at academy level is measured. Let us know what you think in the comments below...
United We Stand: The Manchester United Fanzine:
First published in 1989 when Manchester United was very different to the corporate beast it has become, United We Stand is an independent voice of Manchester United supporters.
The majority of UWS writers watch Manchester United home and away and the mag has long been established as one of Britain's best selling football fanzines.
Influential, incisive, irreverent and proudly independent, UWS tells it like it is. You might not always agree with the opinions within, but you'll take note. #ManUtd #ManchesterUnited #OldTrafford

Stretford paddock, used to have an academy review. Unfortunately the reviewer Mr Pritt can't get to the academy games and so it stopped. It's a shame it stopped. It was watching that podcast that got me to see the academy final against forest.

The awful connotation that comes with the term “fan channel” are being challenged here. Great stuff. It’s just real and honest.

@samuelasnake3234 Месяц назад

I'm a lifelong United fan from Ethiopia and nothing makes me prouder than seeing an academy player turn into a star before my eyes playing at Old Trafford. And right now, it looks like we're going to have some gems come through in the next few years and it's very exciting.

@@zeeone4492 No, he sold most of the under 21's. The under 21's is a graveyard for wasted talent. Every under 18 who has turned-out for the u21 this season, by the way, has won man of the match. Mjebri, Fosu-Mensah, Lingard, Borthwick-Jackson, Iqbal, Cleverley... Any player unable to secure successful loans or first team minutes by 19 isn't going to be good enough and absolutely SHOULD be sold for a profit.

@@zeeone4492 Because they weren't good enough or unlucky with their positions in the squad ?? You want ALL the youth players to come into the 1st team ? That NEVER happened or will happen ever .

@ohheyitskevinc Месяц назад

I grew up being in awe of the Cliff and its history when I’d go there as a kid watching Robbo, Choccy and Hughes run round. Sometimes when I was supposed to be at school. Even Littleton Road and Gigg Lane had a thing about them watching what became the class of 92 train and in reserve games. Sadly, that’s not enough these days. Hope they fix what’s wrong at Carrington. At least our new part owners seem to care.

I read your Athletic article and feel such pride about our Manchester United Academy..I cannot wait to see how they do in the next few years as well. I also read the article yesterday about what Sir Jim said about the U18s and U19s Dressing Rooms, and it made me think that he's at least making improvements in the club.

Really good piece from Andy Mitten. Well balanced, insightful and positive. Yes, we’ve had a really poor season but what a beautiful ending. Beating Man City in the FA Cup final with both goals scored by 2 teenagers from the academy and in addition, the Under 18’s lifting silverware 3 times. The message to all Man Utd fans is keep the faith, change is coming…

That anecdote about Woodward asking, ‘how’d you know that?’ When questioned about the amenities and facilitates at Carrington is telling. Almost like he was unaware the facility wasn’t befitting of Manchester United - or he was and hoped nobody had noticed. With every passing day he’s revealed to have been more and more destructive to the reputation and performance of Manchester United.

Excellent video Andy, I've seen quite a few interviews that Nick Cox has done with the likes of Ben Foster, he's doing a great job in preparing these kids stroke young men for life at Old Trafford and away from Manchester United not all make it, those that don't will leave the club and maybe enjoy good careers at other clubs, from what Nick has put in place there is a long standing relationship with kids that haven't made the grade with aftercare and support, they aren't just thrown on the scrapheap and left uncared for. That is something we should all be proud of.

@jaynepal5278 Месяц назад

Excellent insights as always Andy, I couldn't really get the points system thing that you mentioned, however? Can anyone elaborate it please?

@dt937 Месяц назад

It's too complicated for me to elaborate because i don't fully understand it myself. However the way I see it is players achieve points for amounts of minutes played abroad for the first team in their domestic leagues and at youth international level for appearances in order to gain a visa to come and work in the uk 'I think' ! Obviously if you have a 14 or 15 year old player they aren't going to of played many if any minutes in the first team so chances of them having gained enough 'points to 'come and get a visa to play over seas is very unlikely hence the garnacho reference. I think you get more points for how successful the club is aswell as how far the progress in cups and stuff I cant figure it all out but the info is online. Like Andy mentioned. If a player has gained enough points to qualify for a transfer they have obviously been playing at the first team level so they aren't going to be happy coming over playing for the youth sides because they will be of age and see themselves as established players.

@stegill38 Месяц назад

I do think last few years we only really been giving youth a chance in situations when players were injured. Even when rashford made his debut back in the day was because we had no other fit forward player so he was thrown in and lucky for us he hit the ground running
