Youth Reports 05/06 & 06/07 & 07/08 seasons

Elliott · 15th May 2006, 21:38

would be a bit strange if we let him go, but mulensteen made him captain for the reserves to test his character this season and if he didn't respond then that could be enough to push him out the door. not a big loss the way i see it

Neumayr was released but has come out with the squad in the end because they didn't have enough players. There is a big tournament in Switzerland next week and they are sending a full squad out. Rene wanted to keep working with him for another 12 months and farm him out on loan, so someone made an arbitrary decision to let him go by the sound of it. Neumayr has an offer from a German club, Duisburg I think it is, but nothing signed yet because he's talking to a couple of other clubs.

Madds Timm is one of the best young players they had, but he can't get his head sorted so he was released.

He reckons David Jones has everything except pace off the mark and he'll make it if he can get his mental game right. Time will tell.

I agree about Timm, he is a wonderful talent. Sad he will not make it.
Really hope Jones will make it.

Had a chat with Marcus this morning and he said the decision to leave was his in the end. He's 20 and wanted first team football and Fergie only offered him 5 to 6 games in the first team next year. A few teams in Germany wanted him but Duisburg have offered him regular first team football in the hole behind the strikers so he's taking it. He said nice money offered too, so he seems happy enough.

Thanks, great to get the information straight from the players and managment.

Thanks mate. At first I thought about going to HK for this tournament, but then realised time does not permit.

It's really sad that Neumayr chose to go. IMO, 5-6 first team games is a fair account, considering his lack of experience and phyical presence. Maybe he spent too much time on adapting to English football in the first 2 years at United.

Wish Markus all the best!

Fagan and Collins scored.
In the newbies socom3 says:
We have lost Sunderland 2-3 last Saturday with two goals from Christopher Fagan and under 16 talent Nicholas Ajose.

The commentry on MUTV was embarising. Joe Evans didn´t know the Christian names of the u-16s and they didn´t say who nr. 17 was or the unused subs. The names of Moffett, Welack and Collins are new to me.
So does anyone know these players?

Correction: According to the United magazine Ajose scored the goal and he is a u-14 player !

We drew 4-4 against Chelsea in the Marveld tornement, lost 0-1 to Real Madrid, won Twente/Hercules 4-1, won Grol 6-2, but lost to Feyernoord 0-1. The team we lost against got through to the semis. We became 3rd in our poll and in the competion for 5-8 place we drew Schalke 1-1.

Mambo from the Newbies said:
U14 IN Holland Done quite good did better than Chelsea anyway. Somebody called Nick got top goal scorer award

We scored 14 goals in the group, the most in the compition. I guess it is Ajose whom was the top scorer.

On Wednesday and Thursday, United's youth team plays in Zurich, Switzerland at the annual Blue Stars Fifa Youth Cup. Last year, United had by far the strongest team and won the Cup. I'm going to watch the lads tomorrow.
United are in Group 2 with Valencia, FC Zurich and FC Blue Stars. The other Group is Fluminense, Udinese Calcio, Grasshopper-Club and BSC Young Boys. Will keep you updated, for more info: www.youthcup.ch

Great, please keep us updated on the squad, scorers and who will be playing.

Mambo in the newbies claims about the Marveld squad:
ONLY 2 UNDER 15 ALL THE REST U14 + 1 U13

Nicholas Ajose, Reece Brown, Niki-Lee Bulmer, Brad Byrne,
Jake Ellis-Rowland, Kristian Platt, Jason Lampkin, Ryan Longworth,
Jay Lynch , Gary McMaster, Oliver Norwood , Michael Potts, Tomos Roberts, Elliot Slingsby, Cameron Stewart, Ryan Tunnicliffe

Roberts, Ajose and Potts are u-14s, Norwood, I belive, is u-15. Platt was added later on, so maybe he is the u-13?
Ajose was the top scorer along with a player from another team.
We ended in 6th place in the competion.

We lost to Blue Stars 1-2 today in the FiFa youth cup.

Blue Stars won Zurich 1-2 so Blue Stars and Valencia are through.
In the "losers cup" we play Fluminense or Udinese Calcio.

United were pretty poor tbh. Physically, they were strong, but technically we were very poor, our passing wasnt sharp. We never dominated and i thought the goals conceded were soft, they should have done better.
The defence was very weak, we conceded 5 goals in 2 games. No pace, no controll and didnt mark them well enough. Another big problem was how to get out of our half, our defenders passed the ball around but never really got forward except the long balls which were not a success.
No one really stood out, probably Mullan (not sure, he had the Nr. 11) looked good and pacey, good dribbler and set up the first United goal perfectly.
Those poor games are probably a result of our very young and inexperienced team (last year we had Rossi, Pique, Spector etc), yet the lads should have done better.
I expected much more, especially from Campbell, who was poor imo. Was lazy and did not really run much, stood around more or less and hardly created anything.
Bingi from the newbies will post further details about the game as he wrote down the line-ups, goals etc. Now we're playing against Valencia (who looked very strong)
More to follow...

I updated my last post. More infos will follow, Bingi from the newbies will provide you with all the infos.
The only goal we scored was scored by Rose i think. Mullan run down the left wing, got past 2 players and played to the middle. Perfect dribble and very pacey, looked good and promising.

Escobar · 24th May 2006, 20:39

We drew our last game against Valencia 1-1, Campbell the scorer and Evans hit the post with a freekick. A much better game and we finally played well. Last of the group though and wont progress.
