Simple idea, who is the best United Youth player born in each year. Not seen this thread before so apologies if it has already been done. I'm going to start with Mark Bosnich in 1972 as haven't seen anyone born earlier play live.

Debates: Unfortunate not to get Butt or Gary Neville in there. Perhaps Shawcross for Simpson? Ritchie Wellens for Luke Chadwick? Alan Tate for Danny Pugh? Chris Eagles for Phil Bardsley? Do Gerard Pique and Giuseppe Rossi (both 1987) or Paul Pogba (1993) count as a Manchester United youth?

Also, did we produce anyone born in 1983?

1972: Mark Bosnich
1973: Ryan Giggs
1974: Paul Scholes
1975: David Beckham
1976: Terry Cooke
1977: Phil Neville
1978: Danny Higginbotham
1979: Wes Brown
1980: Luke Chadwick
1981: John O'Shea
1982: Danny Pugh (RIP Jimmy Davis, would probably have been here)
1983:
1984: Darren Fletcher
1985: Phil Bardsley
1986: Tom Heaton
1987: Danny Simpson
1988: Johnny Evans
1989: Craig Cathcart
1990: Danny Welbeck
1991: Oliver Norwood
1992: Jesse Lingard
1993: Michael Keane
1994: Tyler Blackett
1995: Paddy McNair
1996: Joel Pereira
1997: Marcus Rashford

What are your thoughts?

1987：Pique
1989:Ron-Robert Zieler
1993：Pogba
Drinkwater（1990），Brady（1992） and Josh King（1992） are pretty good as well， and I Believe there couple of players are better than McNair for 1995.

Regarding 89 I'd say Cleverley had a better overall career to this date than Catchart. Then there also was Ron Robert Zieler from that year who carved out a decent career in Germany and even got capped a couple times.

Gribbin was the 98 choice initially, and Tuanzebe had a case before Rashford broke out for 97.

Great addition to the list Mr Mujac. But will Lee Sharpe qualify as he played senior football for Torquay prior to joining United at 17?
