Our U23's drew 0-0 with Chelsea's last night in the season opener. We were pretty lucky apparently.

NAC take on Vitesse later on today so pretty much our older U23's against Chelseas there as well.

Didn't I tag you in this already?

Good signs he has started well. Hopefully continues on with it and gets that confidence that he is a senior player

This is midweeks start debut and can't see it put up anywhere...

Carabao Cup starts tomorrow. A few more B teams in it this season.

I know some don't approve but I'm looking forward to it. And a great opportunity for our kids against senior pros.

Nice goal for the Angel as United beat Juve and finish 2nd in the Adidas cup behind Real.

Is the Carabao cup the league cup or the j paint trophy?

Think it's the old Paint Trophy.

Hang on. It's the checkatrade cup tomorrow. Not sure what the Carabao cup is now, ha ha.

Yeah I thought Carabao was the league cup.

 

[moomba]

Carabao Cup is the League Cup. Checkatrade is the John Stones Paint Cup.

I'll be quiet now. Ha ha.

 

[Bojan KantKick]

Nice finish from Demi Mitchell in a 1-0 win against Leicester.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Thanks moomba made me think I'd ****ed up the League Cup thread.

 

[moomba]

Our kids drew last night in the Checkabao Cup. Late equaliser, sounded like Rotherham were the better side. Won the penalties for the bonus point.

Big couple of days for England call ups for our kids.

1 in the U21's (Gunn)
3 in the U20's (Buckley-Ricketts, Duhaney, Nmecha)
1 in the U19's (Francis)
4 (for now) in the U18's (Foden, Anderson, Latibeaudiere, Sancho)

Apparently we have 4 in the U17's and 7 in the U16's too.

Marcus Edwards have United's kids a right old dicking this morning in a 3-0 win

 

[Bojan KantKick]

U18s got the job done 2-1 vs stoke

See his goal? Absolute screamer. Hopefully he's involved in the first team squad after the international break when he's fully fit.

I've got no doubt he'll play more this season. Is already ahead of Sissoko and GKN in my opinion

they should be good players for Stoke Watford and West Brom..

If we can develop good footballers and give kids an opportunity of a professional career thats all part of the role of an academy.

that and selling 20 year olds for 8 million pounds a pop of course

Olivier Ntcham looks like being a win-win for City and celtic

 

[Magma]

sancho still hasnt reported for training since the start of august and the club cannot get into contact with him. absolutely idiotic. im sure brahim and foden have concerns about playing first team, every kid does. but to just run off and not even try to impress, that's just dumb. and whats to stop him pulling this at whatever next club he turns up at?

 

[moomba]

Concerns about senior football are bollocks. Promise of senior football at 17. Not many get that, and as talented as he is I don't think he's ready for more than that.

 

[moomba]

FWIW I do think others at the club do have the right to be concerned about the path to the senior team. But is just an excuse for Sancho imo.
