There are other so called "prodidgees" who were considered surely first team United material & thye have sadly failed to make the grade. These I believe included the likes of Ben Thornley who was described to have the dribbling wizardry of Giggs and the crossing ability of Beckham. However, injuries robbed his career. He went on to play for Norwich or some club like that in the lower league. But in his United youth days, he was considered a gem whose prospects were deemed brighter than the likes of others like Butt, Scholes and the Nevilles
