The 17-year-old who idolises Ronaldo and has already been called up by Argentina, a striker who scored over 600 goals at youth level and an ex-Barca defender... Meet Man United's next generation after they reached a first Youth Cup final in 11 years

To put into context just how long it has been since Manchester United last reached the final of the FA Youth Cup, you just have to take a look back at the teamsheets.

Paul Pogba was in the United under-18 side that beat Sheffield United 6-3 on aggregate to win the famous old competition for the 10th time back in 2011.

The Frenchman was 18 then, on the cusp of being called into the first team squad by Sir Alex Ferguson.

Pogba has tried and failed to make that breakthrough, prospered at Juventus, and come back to do five more years in the time since United reached a Youth Cup final.
