All that really helped the national team of course. It also improved the image of the english game. Who doesnt want tl watch a cowardly side bore the life out of all?
And why didn;t you get the best two players into your side??? Probably same reasons as Chelsea Chelsea have produced plenty of good academy players ijn the same period, but, like United, no one who has become a star for the club
All but a few have featured heavily for the club. I missed a few off who have had decent premier league careers including a large number of appearances for United. Some on that list have played in Champions League finals and won titles whilst being part of the team. I agree That our academy isnt producing superstars right now but yours really doesnt compare. Uniteds is a different league to everyone elses. Some have good spells but we just keep on producing top division and international level players. Decade after decade.
I think its fair to say Fletcher because a prety important player for us too. Before his illness he was easily one of our most important players. He was certainly a star.
Wow the names on your list Well chelsea have produced Courtouis Lukaku matic Bertrand Carlton cole Gokhen tore Huth Borini Van aanholt
Probably people like Ryan Shawcross, Kieran Richardson, Darron Gibson, Phil Bardsley, Robby Brady have gone on to show they can play prenier league. There are maney others who haven`t quite made it like Zekie Fryers, Tom Heaton, James Chester, Ravell Morrison, Paul McShane, Joe Dudgeon and Fraizer Campbell and Alex Bruce who have played in the prem but not quite made it as regulars.
In conclusion, United win the 'youth players featured cup' on the same day that Di Maria wins the leagues 'Goal Cup' after his notch at Leicester........ a fantastic season after all. LVG, double winning tactical genius.
