- James Garner becomes the 230th Academy player to play in the first team...since 1939 virtually 50% of all first team players have come through the youth system.... #MUAcademy #youth #mufc @jgarnerr96
- Tahith Chong makes his full debut and becomes the 229th youth player to graduate to the #mufc first team #229 @TahithChong
- Will Fish at 18 years,3 months and 6 days becomes the 243rd Manchester United player to graduate from the Academy into the first team...a British record...seven Academy players on the pitch now...50% of all #mufc players since 1939 have come through the youth system! 👏
- Its 85 years since #mufc started our youth policy and come Monday we will have had a youth player in every match day squad for last 80 years
- Had a very interesting conversation today...my understanding is that Woodward and Arnold have known about SL plan since before Xmas with virtually everyone else at club totally in the dark. Charlie Brooks (PR) actually wrote the Glazer apology...a total shit show!
- Mason Greenwood becomes the 125th #mufc Academy graduate to represent his country at full int. level...aged 18 years, 11 months, 4 days...he is also the third youngest United player to represent England after Marcus Rashford and the great Duncan Edwards...same birthday too!
- At 17 years, 5 months and 5 days Mason Greenwood becomes the youngest ever #mufc player to feature in European competition... #youth #MUAcademy
- 50% of all United players come through the Academy system…we don’t pay for them. That’s a higher ratio than any other league club…which means EVERY other club buys more players as a % than United do…Pep should do his research! 🤷♂️Pep Guardiola: “In the past [Manchester] United won a lot of titles because they spent more money than other clubs. You remember that?” Yes but it was money United generated themselves. Owners have never put £1 billion into United. Glazer ownership has cost United £1 billion.
- Congrats to Harry Amass who becomes the 256th Academy graduate to make his debut in a competitive first team match! We’ve been doing this since 1932…all in our DNA!
- Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has now reached three semi-finals in the same season...a record only equalled by Alex Ferguson in 2008/09...he hasn’t won anything yet and I’m not comparing him to Fergie...but well done Ole! 👍
- Yes United buy players...every club does. But before any other clubs supporters starts pontificating about our transfer policy...just remember 50% of all United players since 1937 have come through youth system...when you have a 50:50 ratio let’s talk...until then...jog on!
