UNDER-19s READY FOR EUROPEAN CHALLENGE
Victory at Stamford Bridge back in May secured United’s U18s the national league title and with it a place in the ‘domestic champions path’ of the UEFA Youth League.
The competition began in 2011 and pits the very best players in the continent up against each other with the intensity of knock-out football. The developmental benefits are clear, with Academy graduates like Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo having learned how to travel abroad and play at their best in the Youth League. In addition, it offers a chance for young players to see new parts of the world and understand how to best represent United as club ambassadors.
