Youth Update
FYI
I know I was out with exact years...just trying to make the point about inconsistency with international appearances.....
I referred to Bardo and Jonah as they were in the same youth team..along with Eddie Johnson......it seems that if your face fits then you're in.....
For example........Foxy played at every level...yet clearly he is not in the same class as others....
Interestingly...Gary Neville didn't win any schoolboy or youth caps yet Phil did.
The people at Carrington have specifically told me....."we would rather England leave us alone, they either dont play them, they get injured, or the training tactics confuse them versus those at United...."
Clearly United are not that arsed about youth representation......
The players and parents are chuffed.....but United pay the wages!!!!
Lee Sims told me that he was 'stopped' from trying out at local representattive as it would hamper his career at United....
Club vs Country at 14...........
More info to follow....

Great to see TonyPark finally promoted. It was a pain having to refer the questions on this forum to the answers he provided in the newbie forum.
That memory sticks because I found it odd that G.Nev was playing right-back for England youth because from what little information I had gleaned back then (1992? 1993?), he had been playing centre-back for United's youth teams.
I remember quite specifically Gary Neville playing alongside Chris Casper, Sol Campbell, Robbie Fowler, Nicky Butt, Kevin Gallen for some England Youth team which won - my memory fades here - the European Championship, a team which Spurs' Darren Caskey capped.TonyPark said:

Quite Right Delta,
He played in the U/18 European Championship victory over Turkey at Nottingham Forest. My oversight.......................

TonyPark do you know if Wayne Rooneys' younger brother joined the academy, that was the rumour a year ago.
Said to be a very good prospect.

And also what about that Daniel Rowe who was supposed to be the next big thing.
they have been saying that for a long time and nothing has happened

Rooney/Rowe
FYI
John Rooney never came to United although there was lots of talk at the time...Daniel Rowe came to United a few years ago from Preston North End but has since left the club....
I need to confirm both of these....
Febien Brandy and Aaron Burns are both walking.....in fact Brandy is already working out on a step machine
Michael Lea will be back in a couple of weeks
Lee Martin is up and about but has a massive bruise on his back
Oliver Norwood, Danny Welbeck and Strickland are all on standby

FYI
United's reserves lost 1-5 to Oldham Athletic at Boundary Park tonight, in the final Manchester Senior Cup tie.

What are they on standby for? What is Stricklands Christian name and position?TonyPark said:
I saw an article for a tournement that in that Manchester United age team were John Rooney and he was the star player.
I'd like to know how old (birthdate year) Norwood, Wellbeck, and Strickland are, and what position do they play.
Would be good also if anybody can help me find out what are the birthdates (at least year of birth) of James Derbyshire and Ben Amos.

Does anyone know more about theese United players (except Norwood): Niki-Lee Bulmer, Reece Brown, Sam Illingworth, Gary McMaster, Keil O'Brien, Brad Byrne, Jason Lampkin, Justin Pickering, Oliver Norwood, Nicholas Ajose, Michael Potts y William Mellor.

nice to hear brandy is recovering quickly. if he's already on the stair-master, i guess he could be back kicking a ball 'round christmas or thereabout. or am i way off here? anyways; like blake, this'll only make brandy and burns mentally stronger and more appreciative of what they've got. got a feeling they just might end this difficult season lifting the youth cup
Need to check all this out Oskar......the three players are all on standby for England's Schools match against Northern Ireland on Thursday.....oskarutd said:

deltakaye said:
Delta, Derbyshire and Amos are 1990 but let me double check......The other lads are all under 15's and trying to get info is tougher...........
I got the same line-up from a Malaga website [source ]. I think that Reece Brown is Wesley Brown's brother [source ]. If that Manchester Online article is correct, he should be born 1991 or 1992. A bit worrying though that Reece is quoted saying "After Wes, my favourite player is Dennis Bergkamp of Arsenal, who are my favourite team.''oskarutd said:

Thats the article I remember, its from 2001, but since then it all went quiet about him.TonyPark said:
Reece Brown about his brother Wes Brown

Seconded - you've set this "thread" on fire! Much appreciated, as is everyone's output here.The Wizard said:
William Mellor, might he be Thomas Mellors brother? He was on the u-15 Nike Manchester United Premier Cup team.

A very reliable source told me that they are both cloned from him, other than that they have nothing to do with him. So you´ll be happy.Elliott said:
Tony (or anyone else for that matter) how is david grey coming along? I am always interested as one of my ex's lived not far from him.
He hasn't had an album out for a while, and in any case he's a cockbiscuit.
You're welcome.
You're welcome.

really should pay more attention to what i am typing.thanks mate.

He is playing regularly for the under 18 side and has captained then recently.....usually plays at centre-forward but had also turned out at right back.....he should be in our FA Youth Cup side this season.....strong on the ball and very direct....needs to score more goals however.....
Hope this helps.....
United's Reserves
FYI
United reserves defeated Wigan Athletic 2-1 at Hyde United this evening. Two Sylvan Ebanks-Blake goals either side of a Wigan equaliser sealed the points for United. United now go top of the Barclays Reserve League with a game in hand.
After a tough first half which saw United dominate but not test the keeper...the teams went into the break at 0-0. In the second half United were still on top and a fine run by Danny Simpson set up Blake for the first goal. Both sides managed to play good football in very difficult conditions. And it was the wet blustery weather that allowed the Wigan keeper to score direct from a kick, which bounced over Tim Howards head and into the net. However, United soon got back on top and a superb through ball by Markus Neumayr set up Blake for his second which he slipped passed the keeper. It was a fine team performance.....but special mention must be given to Jon Evans, Adam Eckersley and Danny Simpson who were brilliant in defence. In midfield, Richie Jones had a blinder and the two forwards worked hard.
A very, very, good game........joy to watch!
Team: Howard, Simpson, Eckersley, J. Evans, Pique, Fox, Neumayr, R. Jones, Ebanks-Blake, Rossi, Martin Subs: Cooper (9), Steele, Gibson (5), Marsh (7)
Interestingly....the teamsheet had Liam Miller down to play...but he has joined Leeds United on loan today.

Great reports Tony, keep them coming!
Great Tony, said it before (at least thought it) say it again; finally someone with insight!
Though my english are not that great and I am wondering about this sentence:
"In midfield, Richie Jones had a blinder and the two forwards worked hard."
Blinder, hm, now that is and expression I've never heard before. Positive or negative? Can imagine that it meant that he were a bit selfish?

Sorry Anders........'blinder' in English jargon means he had a great game....'played out of his skin'......he is definitely not selfish....hard tackling ball winner, can mix it, but likes to play the simple ball....andersj said:
I went to Zurich to watch him in the Blue Stars Tournament in Zurich in May and he was excellent for someone so young.....
Has a big future..
