Thats the point I was trying to put across Man Utd has no or very little fully home gown players, they concentrate all their efforts on signing young talent from other teams rather than promoting it from the grass root level and developing their own youngsters.

He didnīt want to sign with Spurs because he wanted to sign for United from the start, before he went training with them.
So if a player is offered contract and refuses it because he never wanted to sign for them and signs for anther team he is poached.
You always learn new things here !
Name one club who doesnīt sign players after the age of 9 for their academies.
