You'll struggle to find many staff members at MUFC that cover the phrase ‘Heartbeat of United’ as comprehensively as Romone Blackett.
In 2024, Romone is one of Manchester United Foundation’s key workers in one of its partner schools, where the club’s associated charity aims to make a difference in the lives of Greater Manchester’s young people, working closely with students who need a little extra support, mentoring them and providing enrichment opportunities to aid their development.
But Blackett’s own association with the club dates back to when he was just a nipper himself.
Born in Old Trafford, he joined the Academy aged eight and represented our youth teams at numerous levels, before hooking up with the Foundation to use his own life experiences for the benefit of others.
