In a unique documentary on one of the most special weeks in any Academy youngster’s life, Lifeblood follows the club’s Under-16s from Carrington to Hong Kong, where they play two friendlies in front of big stadium crowds, get to know their local counterparts and learn about the culture.
The trip is one of many during the Academy journey, with every young United player travelling around the country or abroad throughout the season to face challenging opponents and have the opportunity for personal growth. Few, however, take the young Reds as far out of their comfort zone as this one.
