WBA topped the group with 9 points while we're second with 7 points - beat WBA 2-0 and Burnley (didn't know the score), drew 1-1 with Palace and were beaten 1-2 by Arsenal.Only the group winner will proceed to the semi final though.

- Thread starter Cevno
- Start date
United proceeded to the Gold Group (for the top 5 teams) today.Had a very poor start (0-0 vs Hertha Berlin,0-1 vs Spurs,1-1 vs Team Europa) but the kids then beat Ajax 2-1 in the last group match and beat Sparta Prague 2-0 in the playoff match to go through the group stage.
They will play against Hertha Berlin,Spurs,Liverpool and Shalke 04 in the Gold Group tomorrow.Seems no semi final so the winner of this group will win the tournament.
Legia Cup tournament highlight.Some of these Ajax lads are a joy to watch (despite them not having a good result).
Final Spurs - Hertha Berlin:

The little scouse diver at 1:02. 
Learning from Suarez I see.
The cartwheel kid at 3:48 is brilliant too, he didn't even score. You got to love some of the kids enthusiasm.
Oh la la cutie at 6:23

I like our no.7 - reet tough little bugger
A Manchester United XI drew 1-1 with Blackpool in a friendly yesterday.Will Keane scored our only goal.
Tournament starts next week - 6 to 7 December.
Squad:
Matt Campbell(GK),Angel Gomes,Aidan Barlow,Harry Spratt,Dylan Levitt,Brandon Williams,Dion McGhee,James Garner,Ethan Laird,Mason Greenwood.
The first 4 are U15s,Greenwood is U13s and the rest are U14s.
Over the last couple of months I've watch academy matches from U9's to U18's and we have some outstanding talent at every level, the academy really does seem to be in a great shape at the moment.
I think our problem (recently) has always been the quantity of "good enough" talents not quality of best talents,which might due to the increase competition from other clubs like City.Also our coaching at some levels seem to be a bit below of the standard (this is only someone's opinion which I have no way to validate).We're very good in scouting and recognising special talents that don't come around too often.

Belgians
Really weird situation with Indy Boonen he isn't registered with any club at the moment and from what I've seen we are the only club that has taken him on trial so I presume we had some sort of pre-agreement with him.Belgians
I've heard we could sign him in January when he turns 16
Manchester United line up Belgian brothers Indy and Seppe Boonen after beating City to Benfica starlet Venancio da Silva Monteiro

Is that Benfica winger the same one we had on trial back in August who Barcelona were linked with too?
No hes been with us since last year and played for us at the Marveld tournament in May
So we signed Venancio last year?
Thanks for the link, always appreciated
That's Joao Filipe.
Yeah hes been playing with us since last year his family moved to England and he had trials with us and City last year. Contract renewal time is coming up which is probably why theres stories about it the past couple of weeks
His father was trying to get a better deal from us hence all the fuss about City.Those who have watched him not exactly rate him that much.
Cheers. Any news on Joao Filipe since his trial? He seems very highly rated.
All I could find was that he was back at Benfica - he scored in a 16-1 win in late November. I don't think the standard of opposition was very good though, for some reason!
Not yet turned 16 and is currently attached to a club (not like Boonen who's a free agent) so we should not expect to hear anything before he turns 16.
Belgian newspaper HLN today reporting that Indy Boonen's trial was successful and that he'll sign his contract in January. His younger brother Seppe will also join Man Utd
Great news.
Sadiq El Fitouri stars on trial at Manchester United... after being released by Manchester City last year

Seems Corrigan has taken down the individual game compilation vids.
Manchester United are taking a look at Stevenage Borough centre back Ryan Johnson.
The 18-year-old is joining up with United at their Carrington training complex after impressing scouts with his performances for Stevenage and their Under 18s.
Johnson started at West Bromwich Albion, where he spent seven years as a schoolboy and was offered a scholarship. However, he believed he had a better chances of breaking through at Stevenage and made the switch there in 2013.
They gave him a two-year scholarship and he quickly impressed, began training with the first team and signed professional terms a year early. He was on the substitutes' bench a number of times last season before making his debut in May in the 2–0 defeat by Brentford.
He became Stevenage's youngest ever debutant at the age of 17 years and 215 days. Johnson played at left back in the game but earned glowing praise from manager Graham Westley.
He'll spend a week at United in the hope of impressing staff.

had a quick check on this Ryan Johnson. He is 6'2 - described as physically strong, good concentration and very composed.
as you have probably found out he made a new channel called 99corriganHD where he uploads the compilation vids of our young lads. Not sure why he changed it tho..Seems Corrigan has taken down the individual game compilation vids.

well chelsea replaced Schurle with Cuadrado and we replaced Janko with Kellett, exciting window.

We won this tournament.
Impressive, some very good academies in that line-up.
Yeah one of our lads won Best Player as well.Though I think the German clubs were a bit younger than the British's due to the age group format difference.
Our 2001 squad (U14s) will participate in a tournament called Copa Sa Pobla Mallorca at Majorca (1-6 April):
