At the moment (not in the history of football), is there a reasonable argument to say that we have the best academy? Our current first XI has about £400m worth of talent that all played for us from at least U18 level. The rest of the squad has another £100m+ worth at least. I can’t see any other team that fan boast similar numbers to that in their first team squad. Maybe Barcelona if you combined the value of the likes of Messi, Fati, Puig, Busquets etc.
Pogba, Rashford and Greenwood are all £100m+ players. In a year or so, we’ll likely have about £450m worth in the first
XI, providing we keep Pogba and Henderson comes in.
I appreciate other clubs have produced players and sold them on, but in terms of the makeup of any current squad list, I don’t think any touch ours for academy produced talent.
