Biancheri starts this week, plus Wheatley back, Musa will be back on the wing or dropped to the 16s, youth football for you
Musa is nothing like Rashford, he’s very slow for a start.and yet , that's how Marcus started in the Youth team. Musa seems to have the same build at the same stage of his development. Im not saying that Musa will be as good as Marcus, but I can see obvious similarities. Musa seems pretty cool in front of goal. When Marcus was breaking through he was arguably third in the pecking order of strikers (behind Wilson and Will Keane) , so you can never predict how these kids will develop.

We are easing the kids into a European Super LeagueInteresting article. I didn’t realise how often we play teams like real and Barca in the really young age groups. Sounds like a regular occurrence.

They heard it was actually going to be televised so left the sprinklers on over night to put a stop to that. Cant have anyone watching.Tweet

The funny thing about that goal is that there were several Leeds players on social media saying their full-back 'pocketed' Lacey. Now that might have been the case at one point but if you concede THAT goal to him, anything else goes out the window.Its some nice moves but goodness me the defending looks like United v. Liverpool.

While it seems to be a talented age group, you’re correct to point out the factor of social media. That and the coverage & exposure didn’t exist to this extent before so difficult to say.Lots of very high profile players in that age group. Wasn't sure if it was all just social media hype but looks like they're quite good, even if it's still very early days of course.

Lovely to see (especially after the 21s debacle). United thorougjly deserved the victory. Of those you mention i think only JJ started. Others were on the bench with Rooney coming on to score.While it seems to be a talented age group, you’re correct to point out the factor of social media.

But luckily we don’t have to make that judgement now but we can just wait and enjoy their journey. When they get to the U18s level we’ll see more of them.
Probably the most annoying thing about the coverage of young kids is the rush to make statements about whether they’ll ”make it”. Let the kids play.
Anyway there’s at least Rooney, Edson, JJ Gabriel & Tunde in that photo, I think. Silvester too?

The lad holding the trophy is Amir Ibragimov's younger brother Gazi, who is a CB. There's also two Spanish lads there - Camacho (who we signed from City last year) is to the right of JJ & Osuchukwu is the keeper back right.Anyway there’s at least Rooney, Edson, JJ Gabriel & Tunde in that photo, I think.

That's what I was thinking as he looked like Amir but I know he's too old for this age group. They look exactly the same.

Yeah I made a mistake about the Albert Phelan part but they're through to the Floodlit Cup final after a 3-0 win against Wigan last night where apparently we were missing quite a few players particularly up frontYeah @jb8521 said:

Not sure about the info now that he deleted it.

We will face Stoke in the final after they beat Liverpool 4-2. They also beat City in the quarters so should be a tough game.U15s beat Wigan 3-0 last night and are through to the Floodlit Cup North final. Not sure who they face but I do know Stoke are one of the other semi-finalists.
Amassive signing
Not the same David Harrison, this one has been at the club since early 2017. The one that got just appointed "only" has admin role and doesn't have anything to do with recruitment.He's only just been appointed hasn't he? Must have a huge offer from Newcastle.
He joined from Man City in 2016.He's only just been appointed hasn't he? Must have a huge offer from Newcastle.
