The UKFF academy side almost made history by becoming the first team to win the Academy Cup on
their first attempt.
Made up exclusively from the website the squad showed tremendous spirit by reaching the final
after a stunning comeback in the semi final to seal a dramatic win on penalties.
It's awards night at Old Trafford tonight and one can only feel there'll be an air of regret and
dissatisfaction in the room after yesterday's high's-and-low's saw players and fans alike begin to
dream the impossible before being Earth shatteringly brought back down to Earth in the space of
just a few short seconds.
Richmond, VA – (Tuesday, March 20, 2012) – Chesterfield United is proud to
announce the new player development structure and club Academy model. After significant amount of
time studying the value of the European Academy club model and structure, Chesterfield United staff
has worked hard to improve the club structure to enhance the player development opportunities to
all of its players.
It only feels like yesterday when United advanced into the semi-final of the FA Youth Cup with a
determined victory over a very decent Charlton Athletic side who refused to be beaten until James
Wilson's dramatic late winner was enough to finally see them off. United started favourites that
night at Old Trafford but tonight [.
In recent years Manchester United have been at the centre of some of the more heavily
media-scrutinised transfers. But if David Beckham and Ruud Van Nistelrooy moves to Real Madrid
exemplified Fergie's resoluteness in parting ways with loyal servants that had overstepped the
line, and Ronaldo's departure for the Spanish capital was seen as the [.
If ever there was a stereotypical 'game of two halves', this was it! United took the initiative and
started the better of the two teams, so much so that after 30 minutes United were literally
'dipping their bread' as-and-when they fancied scoring. Within those 30 minutes United took a well
deserved and impressive three goal [.
The last few weeks and months of the Academy have highlighted its purpose for me; experiment and
develop in the league fixtures but put the boys to the test in the cup. Today United welcome Group
D counterparts Sunderland from the North East as they look for their first win of 2012, in fact,
you [...

Buckle up girls and boys it's getting serious in the FA Youth Cup! Tonight promises to produce real
barnstormer of a match as Manchester United host Charlton Athletic at no less than the Theatre of
Dreams. Tonight will make-or-break the hopes of these teams as we play to a finish, but at 16 to 18

Forget the result, forget United are still without a league win in 2012, forget they led this game
3 three times only to be pegged back after each goal, forget all three Wolves goals were conceded
via set-pieces; this was one hell of a performance and an exciting game that could've gone either
way although, [.
Paul McGuiness and Manchester United's Academy boys go in search of their first win of 2012 in the
Academy League today as Wolves make the journey to Carrington to face a team they easily beat 5-2
the last time the two sides met at Wolves' Academy Centre back in October. United were out played
that [.

In a repeat scoreline from earlier in the season Manchester City capitalised on a lazy first half
performance from Manchester United that saw them head into the break with a comfortable looking two
goal lead. United came out stronger and upped the tempo in the second half and immediately began to
give City problems.

Academy League football returns today with an exciting trip to Manchester City. United's local
rivals were surprisingly dumped out of the FA Youth Cup at home to Fulham on Wednesday night after
squandering a 1-0 lead going into the break through top goalscorer Jordie Hiwula. That goal was
Hiwula's 20th of the season including one [.
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 [.

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 [.
