An interesting piece about the efficiency of City's academy set up involving Jason Willcox,
"Willcox, was promoted to oversee the smooth running of what has turned into a title-winning, money-making machine, players who haven’t made the cut to thrive in Guardiola’s team have been sold for big money, in many cases purely on the strength of their displays through the age groups.
Last summer they sold goalkeeper James Trafford to Burnley for £19m, Shea Charles joined Southampton for a fee that could rise to £15m, Taylor Harwood-Bellis also signed for Southampton on loan with a £20m obligation to buy if the Championship club are promoted, while Carlos Borges moved to Ajax for £17m.
Sam Edozie, Gavin Bazunu and Juan Larios were sold for a combined fee of £31m..
They’ve made £150m solely through the sales of homegrown players since the summer of 2022; a period in which United made sales of all players totalling £70m"
