A ruthless ten minute bombardment saw this determined group of United youngsters stun their opponents into submission just before the break at The Liberty Stadium in Swansea on Thursday night. With this tricky looking fixture away from home and key players missing from the squad, the game was far from a foregone conclusion, but an [.

Today sees the next round of the FA Youth Cup take place between Swansea City and Manchester United at the Liberty Stadium in Swansea. Both teams have looked impressive during their respective cup runs so far this season with United beating Torquay United easily then producing a much tougher, ultimately more satisfactory performance and victory [.

Firstly, apologies for the lack of articles posted this week, it appears you boys have found somewhere else to get your fix of talking about United. Hopefully things will return to normal from tomorrow starting with Eddie's preview as usual, the relocating Daniele returning with his broadband and his report, and 'AWOL Eddy' fixing his [.

After Wednesday night's magnificent win and performance it's back to the bread & butter of the Academy League as United make the trip to West Bromich Albion to face a team they beat 2-1 back in November at Carrington. West Brom also come into this game off the back of a win in the 4th [...]

Renowned for never doing things the easy way, Manchester United's U18′s had to produce a performance of quality and strength to overcome a Derby County side boasting England U17 internationals, in-form strikers and a notable physical advantage not to mention the early initiative with an opening goal on 20 minutes.

I'll keep this short and sweet. Tomorrow night might see the 4th round tie of the FA Youth Cup take place between Manchester United and Derby County.....then again.....if it doesn't warm up considerably during the day tomorrow, the pitch at Moss Lane (that's no doubt been frozen for the best part of 6 days) will [.

With Christmas now a distant memory, United travel to Stoke City's training facility and Academy centre for their second Premier Academy League fixture of 2012 hoping to distance the memory of a poor last performance. Last weekend saw United held to 3-3 draw in an exciting but error packed game against bottom of the league [.

United's under 18s fell behind three times but each time pegged their opponents back to earn a point and a few lessons against Bolton's under 18′s at Carrington this morning. In steadily worsening conditions throughout the 90 minutes, United failed to get into their stride and dominate possession like they had been doing in the [.

Tomorrow sees the return of the Premier Academy League as United take on Bolton at Carrington in an 11am kickoff. These sides met in early November in what proved to be a enjoyable game between two teams so far struggling for consistency this season. The match ended in a 2-1 win for United with goals [.

In my 2011 season preview, I predicted that Toronto would struggle for the first few months under its newest leadership structure (new general manager and head coach) but toward the end of the year start to look like a promising ...

This team is rapidly becoming one of the most technically gifted youth teams the club has ever seen. Under the spotlights at Moss Lane on a cold rainy night, United's young hopefuls made light work of a determined Torquay United side that set up, at times, with 7 men at the back. Goals from van [...]

It's difficult not to dwell on last years tremendous journey through the stages of the competition as this years FA Youth Cup gets under-way in earnest. It's tempting to compare this team with last years but as we know, every academy team, every year has varying levels of skill, experience and expectations; this seasons is [.

In a wind and rain affected 90 minutes at Carrington today, Liverpool stole the points in the first and last minutes to grab a second win in just six weeks over United's improving youngsters. The minutes in between saw United ride their luck and spurn opportunities in equal measure. Jack Dunn was Liverpool's match-winner with [.

United's U18s are in action again tomorrow as they take on Liverpool in the Premier Academy League. It's been six weeks since the reverse fixture saw Adam Morgan and Matty Regan grab the goals in a 2-1 win for Liverpool. Ex-Liverpool academy goalkeeper Liam Jacob made a howler that gifted Regan a simple header that [.

Mats Daehli stole the show at Carrington yesterday as Manchester United's Academy boys saw off a somewhat spirited fight from West Bromich Albion. Mats was the difference scoring both goals in a 2-1 victory that saw United extend their current winning streak to five games and maintain the momentum that's building up nicely to begin [.

The Academy have won all four of their last four outings (including two friendlies in Slovakia) and they will no doubt be hoping to continue that run of results when they host West Bromich Albion's Academy at Carrington tomorrow morning. West Brom are one position below United in the Premier Academy League and were beaten 4-2 last [.

On the weekend of Sir Alex Ferguson's 25th Anniversary, United's academy travelled to Bolton Wanderers and returned with a slender 2-1 victory. In Sir Alex's twenty five year career, he's given a first team debut to an incredible 79 teenagers. It's impossible to accurately predict which of the current crop of boys will go on [.

Two weeks ago United took on Crewe and got themselves back to winning ways (4-1) before they travelled off on their annual team building and strength-testing trip to Slovakia. Goals from Januzaj, Barmby, van Velzen and Rudge were enough to cement what was a much improved performance by the Academy and also gave us a chance [.

Four defeats on the spin, and beaten by two of our closest rivals along the way, might suggest it's time for the Academy to panic, but hold on, not so fast. There were many positives on Friday and the 2-1 defeat away to Liverpool in no way tells the whole story of this competitive, exciting [...]

The less said about today's result the better. I'm not suggesting we should be dismayed or in any way embarrassed far from it, Wolves looked a competent side with some talented lads. What I mean is, the 5-2 scoreline masks what was actually a closely contested game played at a high tempo and in [..

Saturday's visit to Wolves is the first of 3 games in 11 days for United's boys before they take a well earned two-week break. Having suffered a painful defeat to local rivals City last week, the boys will come into this game fresh from the experience with a new found determination to improve, it's what a [.

Tomorrow sees the first Micro-Derby of the season between United and City with both clubs flying high in the Premier League and showing great potential in the Academy League. But while City currently occupy top spot, United lie 7th (out of 10) in Group C having won just two of their opening matches and suffering [.

With only two matches left in NextGen Series group play, Liverpool find themselves vying for the second qualifying spot with Molde and Wolfsburg in Group 2.

It's always part of the script when you visit Brockhall Village so be prepared for a battle. Blackburn didn't disappoint on that score yesterday and came away with a 3-2 victory after giving United's considerably smaller lads a roughing up early on in the game and stamping their authority with two well taken, but somewhat [.

United's U18′s took on Middlesboro at Carrington today in a later than usual midday kickoff. After an impressive start to the season United's young guns took on what proved to be a very determined, well organised Middlesboro team who showed they were capable of matching United stride-for-stride. The game got off to a flying start [.

Beating Leeds United 3-1 last week Manchester United Academy got their first three points of the season and were sixth in the Premier Academy League Group C, six points behind the leaders, Manchester City. The Academy travelled to Sheffield to play their fourth league game of the season against last season's Youth Cup runners-up Sheffield [.

After defeat at home to Portsmouth two weeks ago and an under-strength young team were beaten by Southampton on the South coast last week, I'm sure the Academy would be desperate for three points today to reward what's actually been a very promising start to the new season. 1st Half United got off to a [.

Highlights from the NextGen Series will more than likely be a little thin on the ground and will rely heavily on the participating clubs' own media departments. Fortunately, Ajax TV have done a good job of putting together this video from our 2-0 loss in Amsterdam in the opening game last week.

Of course, there might be a little bias in the edit, but this seems a fair reflection of the game from as much as I could gather.

So, what did I learn today on the opening day of the Premier Academy League? I learnt what some of the first year scholars look like, I put faces to their names and had an opportunity to pick up a hint on who and how this Academy is going to play this season. Despite [...]

It's that time of year again. The hype and hysteria of ongoing transfer saga's continue, the opening weekend has come and gone and pundits the length and breadth of Great Britain the World are having their say on the season's final outcomes already. Well, for others like me, the season is yet to begin.

He might not appreciate it much as he starts looking for a new job but Sergio Batista's dismal failure as Argentina coach at the Copa America delivered a very important message.
In the run up to the competition, Batista had expressed his intention to impose Barcelona's tactical approach on his side.

Having talented players progress till they're good enough to play regular top level Premiership football is still an art that very few - if any - have perfected. The traditional route of letting them develop in the reserves no longer seems to apply given the dilution of quality in this league whilst the more recent solution of having the players go out on loan is a bit hit and miss.

Harry Edward Kane to be precise and whilst he won't be our new manager, he has a very good chance of being a super star for us in the very near future.

The 6ft, just turned 18 year old forward from Walthamstow has all the attributes of the first class striker that we are dying out for.

- Dwayne De Rosario is the best kind of All-star, the inactive kind. He'll be recognized as one of the league's top performers, get a nice little bonus, but won't have to miss any D.C. practices to go play an exhibition game. Which is certainly a good thing as he has only been with his current teammates for about a month now.

When Martin Kelly joined Huddersfield for a couple of months towards the end of the 2008–09 season, it was the perfect move. This was a team that played football the way that it should be played – ball on the ground and with a thoughtful passing game – and a manger who had confidence in the player he'd just gotten.

Much has been said about the excellent job that Pep Segura and Rodolfo Borrell have been doing at the Liverpool academy yet, at the same time, very little is known about the actual strategy behind their work. Everyone has been saying that they've brought over Barcelona's model without knowing what that model is about outside of vague concepts.

As it always is whenever England take on an international tournament, there is bound to be a fair degree of hype over the Under 17 team taking part in the World Cup in Mexico. And with six Liverpool players in the English squad, expectations will inevitably rise especially if England do well.
Yet the reality of this tournament is that it doesn't really provide a gauge for future success.

Charlton's Academy serving the likes of Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United - originally posted on Soccerlens.com

As a Charlton fan, the recent news about Carl Jenkinson's move to Arsenal has led me to consider the impressive standard of the Charlton Athletic Academy. With the first team about to embark on their third attempt to get out of League One, the academy itself still seems to mix with the established Premiership outfits.

The seasonal poaching of Barcelona youngsters by Arsene Wenger seems to continue apace. The Gunners have just been ordered to pay £300,000 compensation to the Spanish giants for Jon Niquel Toral-Harper, who recently decide to join Arsenal instead of staying at the Nou Camp. Now today it seems that the Spanish Daily Sport is reporting [.
