I'm with you. I'd rather see us invest more in our youth facilities one summer than our transfer fees. But that would require patience which I'm not sure the fan base has. Because from my observation, I don't believe many of our fans care too much about the youth side of the club.

Obviously only highlights but he looks an exciting player
I have been going to Old Trafford since 1978 and can confidently say that 80% of match going fans don't know anything about our youth team or young players coming through. Obviously social media and MUTV has raised awareness of certain 'names' but most only care about the first team.
It's always been like that.
The youth/loan updates and the bit of general banter is the best thing about posting on here. The never ending civil war between the fans on the first teams lack of success is mostly tedious with some occasional good points made by either side. I can’t be getting into it anymore really. Cheers for the updates lads 
Yep, trust me, people generally don't care about youth teams or youth players. I find it odd, because we have such a rich history with it and it's also our future, but that's how it is.
Looks like he’s signed a contract with Burnley.
Was still on trial as of last week, has he signed now? Thought he might get a slightly better move.
According to his tweet that he quickly deleted. Might of course only allude to the trial. Not sure getting a contract at a PL club is that bad to be honest.
He confirmed that he’s leaving the club after 12(!) years, going to Burnley as expected.
Tbf he looks very much like a Burnley player.
Re-reading this thread is quite funny.
Hopefully he has a good career, going to Burnley has very different connotations these days in the A.D era (after Dyche).

Yes these days you get slammed 5-0 instead of 2-0
