Apparently Fortune worked with our reserves when he completed his coaching badges, at least as per wiki.Wood, 36, who came through United’s academy as a player but never made a senior appearance, will take over as head coach with Fortune, who made 126 appearances for the club between 1999 and 2005, serving as his assistant.
He has been United's academy coach in the last few years.Never heard of Wood. Has he coached before, elsewhere does anybody know?
He's a very talented young coach from what I was told by people at Carrington.Never heard of Wood. Has he coached before, elsewhere does anybody know?
Edit: Just clicked the link says he was acadamy coach, so was he any good?
Ole out, Brenda in.Took my young fella for a tour of Old Trafford last season , Quinton Fortune was doing a tour with a group just ahead of us, probably a VIP package tour or something now he’s coaching our under 23’s.
Next week they will appoint one of the cleaning ladies to become our new physio.
His work at Villa was very impressive by all accounts. He's still very young at 36 for a coach, but from what I was told, is that he's a very forward thinking attack minded coach.Well thought of at United as @Adnan alluded too, also we pursued him after he was getting glowing reports as a part of Aston Villa's academy set-up.
Wasn't Chong voted player of the year for the u23's?They have a tough season ahead as we have a really young side but we still should not be playing in the second tier and I find it hard to justify Chong and Gomes getting starts in the first team until they are at least killing it at this level.
Saying that, I do think Greenwood should be fast tracked into the first team as i think he is that good.
Gomes already killed it at that level last season. Can't blame him for being in the 2nd division.They have a tough season ahead as we have a really young side but we still should not be playing in the second tier and I find it hard to justify Chong and Gomes getting starts in the first team until they are at least killing it at this level.

Yeah, but it should have gone to Gomes.Wasn't Chong voted player of the year for the u23's?
Well done.So Nicky Butt, Neil Wood and Quinton Fortune it is then - a bald move by United.
Picture can't be from 1999 if we are playing in the 96-98 strip surely ?
What I thought immediately. Did the youth teams not get the new kits in those days?Picture can't be from 1999 if we are playing in the 96-98 strip surely ?
I think the tweeter got the date wrong.Picture can't be from 1999 if we are playing in the 96-98 strip surely ?
My impression was that he was seen as of the same football type ilk as McKenna. Which is different from Mourinho and different from Sbragia. If that says something about our direction under Solskjær and Butt, I must say it is a positive sounding development.His work at Villa was very impressive by all accounts.

It seems we're looking to instill the same style of play from the first team, all the way down the youth levels. It's something Rio Ferdinand even alluded to and that's the feeling I'm getting too.My impression was that he was seen as of the same football type ilk as McKenna.

Yes, Ferguson generally did want us to go the Cruyff/Barca/Ajax way in that respect. (As did I). Meulensteen was part of that way of thought, and Pogba, Lingard, Morrison, Januzaj, Pereira was results of that line of thought. My impression was that after Moyes came, that was all more or less thrown out the window.It seems we're looking to instill the same style of play from the first team, all the way down the youth levels.

Obviously could change with players leaving on loan or permanently but right now it's Henderson O'Hara, Kovar, Woolston, Carney, Fojticek, O'Connor, Laird, Tanner, Borthwick-Jackson, Mitchell, Taylor, Ercolani, Bernard, Williams, Garner, Galbraith, Levitt, Puigmal, Barlow, Gomes, Traore, McGhee, Hamilton, Burkart, Chong, Ramazani, Mellor. Greenwood is still an u18 player but unlikely to play for them.Has anyone seen a rough U23 squad posted? I’m definitely going to try go to the Checkatrade away games, and possibly couple of league ones too.

Yes, it's certainly looking that way, which is good.It seems we're looking to instill the same style of play from the first team, all the way down the youth levels. It's something Rio Ferdinand even alluded to and that's the feeling I'm getting too.
