He was 20 when he joined us.
He's played for our U21's like Amad and Pellistri, but they won't count as Academy products as none played for us at any younger age groups.

Only joined us 2 years ago didn’t he? And he was 19 then I think
Neither are academy graduates at United. Bishop was 20 when we signed him and he never played for us at junior (U18 or younger) level. Neither did Pellistri. @Bertie Wooster was quicker.
"Historian Tony Park says the player has to have signed for the club before the age of 18, and they must have played at a junior level below the first team at United.
In addition to the above two rules, the person is not to have played for another team at senior level."
Yea this record should never end really. Surely you just give a bench spot to some random kid if needed?
Mainoo has not been with the team practicing for the game - Iqbal is though so maybe he would be on the bench
Checkmate to the haters when he starts tonight
If it does come to an end tonight, then what a run.
Yes it would be incredible if it were to continue but the team and our current situation should trump the need to continue it on just for a box ticking exercise.
Elanga will fill that role provided he takes Martial's spot on the bench tonight.

There are a million spots on the bench these days. Can always trust this place to scaremonger based on feck all.
Apparently so, I wasn't aware.
Vitek, Iqbal and Elanga, the streak continues!
So what’s the total now?
Streak almost came to an end tonight but we live to fight another day.
Yep. Only nine academy graduates in the matchday squad. Very close.
