Thought you'd like it though because it makes Arsenal worse if he buggers off.

United dont have any players ever without that gene.

Poor Juan Mata

Dele Alli nominated for this award? Surely finishes above Rashford

David Gill will see to that

Poor Juan Mata

He's almost the worst. Chelsea then United. He's only really topped by Rooney and Fellaini for the Everton/Mancampaigner double whammy.

Our U23s won again. 3-0. Ings, Ings and Ings.

How can you hat a guy like this

Look at that joy and fun and life

He who is tired of Mata is tired of life

United trying to nick some of our scouts. One has apparently agreed to a move, three more have been approached.

What a result. Think they're about 16 goals for, 1 against for the 3 games. Lot of talent in that squad.

Gomes & Sancho the standouts at that level. Kinda funny that they are best mates and play for rivals haha.

Saw the croatia match and they could have put 15 past them (no exaggeration).

 

[moomba]

Could be the new Summerbee/Best, ha ha. I think I'd take that.

Are your kids playing at Alty any more, or is it all out at Leigh nowadays. I'm keen to have a look at all your new signings so I can tell you how shit they are.

haha Mostly Leigh I think but the odd game will probably be at Alty.

Looks like it'll be a two horse race at U18 level. Our sides are the clear standouts apparently.

A very weird story this one. Idris Kanu left West Ham to join United as a 16 year old on a trial basis. Had a great first game for our U18's and everyone expected him to sign a contract. Then nothing was heard for a few weeks and there were murmurs of him having attitude issues. Then this:

It doesnt take much but this sort of thing will do wonders for the morale in the academy.

Don't your good kids train with the first team during the international breaks normally?

The likes of Tosin, Angelino, Maffeo etc train full time with the first team nowadays. Maybe Brahim as well. But they've been there or therabouts for quite a while now. And have earned the right to train with the first team IMO.

Sancho is a bit younger though, and hasn't really done it at U21/U23 level to get this opportunity. After a few years of the academy being ignored by the senior manager it just shows that the current one has it well and truly on his radar.

 

[Magma]

it's not just having them at training too, he ensures that they get involved, in amongst it and genuinely involved. you could see pictures under pelle where some of those players were just left to the side or having the youngsters train amongst themselves? what's the point of that?

United U18s up 5-0 against Wolves at HT. Could get a bit ugly.
