MUTV are celebrating 10 years of showing live Academy football and commentator David Stowell has provided Inside United with his best Under-18 players over the decade.
Stowell selected a 23-man squad featuring the Reds who shone at that level, based on the individual displays for the Under-18s rather than any subsequent involvement in the Reserves or senior football.
Obviously, the exceptional 2011 FA Youth-Cup winning group is properly represented while some, such as Adnan Januzaj, enjoyed early promotion to the Reserves, which lessened their impact at Academy level.
Stowell's 23-man squad: Ben Amos, Sam Johnstone, Ron-Robert Zieler; Tyler Blackett, Craig Cathcart, Tim Fosu-Mensah, Michael Keane, Tom Thorpe, Axel Tuanzebe, Ro-Shaun Williams; Tom Cleverley, Danny Drinkwater, Magnus Eikrem, Andreas Pereira, Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard, Ravel Morrison, Ryan Tunnicliffe; Will Keane, Marcus Rashford, Danny Welbeck, James Wilson.
