Good point. Adults can consent to information releases whereas until they're 18 players are incapable of legally consenting to information releases under English law.

Just a reminder that the U21's are playing tonight, away at West Brom. Kick off 7pm. It still says the game is meant to be on MUTV so fingers crossed.
Harry Amass called up to the England U17 squad for their EURO qualifiers. Lacey, J. Fletcher & Fitzgerald all miss out due to injury.
First game is tomorrow against Northern Ireland where he'll face teammate Will Murdock.

The England U16s and U17s are really something else. I'd say the most talented I've seen in the 10 year or so I've been following youth football and a lot of them are with us.

United academy with some good representation here.
TBF with the Spanish teams, their academies tend to be HUGE. Even 4th tier sides have Juvenil A, B, C sides etc. Man Utd don't have U18B or U18C sides.
Juvenil A, B and C are all just the names for their different age groups.
Juvenil A = U19s
B = U18s
C = U17s
Yet they play in the same league system. Cadiz Juvenil A play in the Division Honor (top tier of youth football in Spain) while their Juvenil B side plays in the Liga Nacional (the level below, which teams get promoted from/relegated to) and their Juvenil C side plays a couple of levels further down
I'm not sure on process/accuracy/criteria but Manchester United have 78 former/current youth players featuring in the English league alone. If you count other countries it's over 100.
But that’s just because Cadiz is such a cool club full of kids dreaming of becoming El Magico
Manchester United U/17 defeated Carlisle United 3-0 in a friendly at Carrington on Wednesday night.
Victor Musa with all three goals.

I’m glad to see him get in amongst the goals. In the under 18 highlights I saw he showed some fight and physical application, traits that will serve him well. Like Wheatley, there’s something there.

Can someone make a thread for him like the other youth players have? Especially given the media attention he's gaining this week it'd be a good way to discuss his progress without taking over the general discussion.

The U14s beat Liverpool in the Albert Phelan Cup quarter-finals. 3-2 win after two of our players being sent off. Teddy Garside saved a penalty and JJ Gabriel scored the winner.
Apart from those two it seems like at least Tunde Shoretire, Kai Rooney, Gazik Ibragimov and Edson DeJonge-Seiros were amongst those involved.
We won the North section of the cup both in 2022 and 2023.

Albert Phelan Cup is an U14 competition. Kukonki is an U16 so couldn't have played. Anyway, great win.
Could’ve been Mapengu.
I had a look and I'm pretty sure it's Jodie Naganga, who actually used to be at Liverpool.
As I mentioned in my edit the AP Cup is an U14 competition.
Ah okay, thanks.
Who’se younger relative is DeJonge-Seiros? FdJ?

Are you being Seiros, or joking?

It's just nepotism at its most extreme
Scanlon on the bench again for Gibraltar in Kaunas tonight.
40 year old Roy Chipolina and suspended keeper Dayle Coleing are out of the side, Bradley Banda starts in goal and Evan De Haro starts in midfield with Louie Annesley dropping to defence and Niels Hartman filling his holding midfield role. Scott Ballantine is promoted from stand-by to substitute.

Seems we’ll be playing KdB cup

Scanlon a sub again, when he and Bartolo came on there was a noticeable improvement in Gibraltar's attacking play but they just came on too late to change the result. A number of dangerous attacking runs from Scanlon.
Surely he is better than a lot of the players who regularly play? Is it because of his age? (Which, of course, is a legitimate reason)
U12s at at the MIC Cup, which starts today. You can find the schedule and squad list here: https://live.micfootball.com/competition/WEwzL2E0MXlpRDFIaHhuLzhDVFlWdz09
None of their group games are being streamed.

Definitely because before this weekend he'd never played senior football.
Pretty sure he is the first United player to represent his country before playing a full game for our Reserves (U/23, U/21).
Nah he has a few U21 games under his belt. 90 mis in 2 games, vs Arsenal and Man City. Proper test for him will be in June vs Scotland.

3-0 win in the first game against City SC Carlsbad from the US.
The U18 Premier League Cup final against Man City will be played at Leigh Sports Village on Tuesday 23 April at 19:30 BST.
Our U12s won their second match in the MIC Cup too. 3-0 vs a local side VIC Riuprimer Refo FC. This means we’re already through to the last 16. Our last group game is played later today.
