well the beauty of the emergence of guys like Rashford and Borthwick-Jackson this season is that the English press had spent months arguing how bad Uniteds youth setup is in comparison to other teams ... especially City. Yet now United continue to produce good young players and are about to win the U21 championship. No doubt they are a bit behind City and others when it comes to the younger age groups, but it'll take a couple of years for that to have an effect on the first team. In the 17-20 age group, United are still doing fine thanks to people like Warren Joyce and Nicky Butt.
