None of this is true.We're looking at young and upcoming players say between 19-25. We were quite successful over the past 20 years and there is a good chance many of the current English youngsters would have idolized our club while growing up. For them signing for us would be a dream come true. This might also be true for many youngsters outside England, but the United's success would have been strongly felt inside the country more than outside (for obvious reasons). Also, if we want to build a British core, this is the time to do it as some of the most talented bunch of players are rising.
1. We were successful and just so happened that a number of players were British. There is no correlation between our success and Being British. We had loads of non British that were just as much a part of our success.
2. There is nothing to suggest that its a repetitive methodology. And there in fact there is nothing to suggest its a methodology at all. Sir Alex just happened to have a core if youth players that were British and when he bought he bought from within the league. At that time we could buy the best from other clubs. The game has moved on in so many ways.
3. There is nothing to suggest that British born players love Utd more. Nothing. And even if they did there is nothing to suggest that translates into better performances.
4. This is the time to buy British- its not. Its the worst time. British clubs are minted and dont have to sell. Hence ridiculous prices. There are just as good a froup of Dutch, Portuguese, french etc players
