    I always thought James Wilson looked incredible in the academy. He had pace and could go with either foot but never quite happened for him but last time I knew he was at Port Vale.

    Cole Palmer. Had such a bright future but wasted it all by going to a mid-table club. Now all he is good for is banging in pens against struggling oil clubs. Shame really.

    Weve had our share, but i guess some more recent ones would be the likes of Harry Wilson, Ben Woodburn, Jordan Ibe

    Jack Wiltshire. He achieved a good standard. But could have had a much better career if it wasn’t for injuries

    Michael Johnson would’ve been fucking amazing if injuries hadn’t ruined his career.

    Ravel Morrison.

    Sir Alex Ferguson said he was the best teenage footballer he had ever seen. Even told Rooney, Ferdinand, and Giggs that he was better than them at that age.

    Currently on his 14th club in 12 years, and has had a lot of trouble with the law.

    Despite the issues he had off the pitch, Dele Alli should be mentioned here. So much promise.

    Hudson-Odoi.

    He was looking at being an absolute world beater, I saw that boy absolutely ruin right backs lives at times but injuries and attitude seem to just kill him off.

    Reece James is worrying me, maturity and injury prone seem to be big issues getting in the way of being potentially the best right back in the world.

    Jack Wilshere could have been a one of a kind, world class player.

    Injuries absolutely wrecked him and he had his share of problems off the pitch too it seems.

    Was England’s best player too when he was fit and in -form I think he had a run of 8 games where he was motm in 6 of them.

    We do sell many of our young players to other clubs before they make our first team , so it’s difficult .

    Probably Jadon Sancho for me rn , unless he can resurrect his career away from United .
