As you no doubt know, City are going great guns at the moment hitting big scores against most opponents, they did suffer a 3-1 defeat at Everton recently though.
A few players to watch
Tosin Adarbiyoyo-Captain and mountainous defender
Will Patching-Lampard type midfielder
Brahim-Pellegrini ensured City signed him from Malaga. Needs international clearance to come through.
Jadon Sancho-15 year old English jaw-dropper. Great hopes for him.
Lucas Nmecha-scores nearly every time he plays.
Sadou Diallo as well and I like Tom Dele-Bashiru.
United U16s beats Benfica 2-1 in their first match of the Premier League tournament final today.
George Tanner was among the goalscorers yesterday.The lads also beat West Ham 2-0 today and will play Reading later.Semi final ticket for the group winner.
Does that guys son play for us or whats he doing at our youth games?
He's father of Jake Barrett, our U16 centre back.
Poole and Goss trained with the first team today.
Christ, I remember the clamour on here to get David Jones playing some games over Darren Fletcher.
Would bet it to be Rashford (Jimmy Murphy) and Fosu-Mensah (Reserves PoTY) this year.
In fairness - David Jones had one season where he looked way too good for the reserves. He dominated practically every game he played.
Matts moller daehli
, How could he have gone from highest rated talent to such lows. What could have been, what bad career choices he made.Another article on our youth system and City's money - I mean brilliance - by Daniel Taylor this time http://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2015/oct/24/manchester-city-united-youth-policy
Lot of time for Danny Taylor but that piece is almost a total rehash of a couple written months back (notably Andy Mitten's). Reference United players sending their kids to City's academy (ignoring fact they may just not have been considered good enough by MUFC)? Check. Reference that 9-0, ignoring the mitigating circumstances? Check. Some decent points but ones that have been made numerous times before. No new information or insight whatsoever. Must have been short of ideas for his column this week.
City aren't shouting about it?They must be the only club that talk about their U13s winning a tournament on Twitter.
Why don't people wait until City start churning out successful first team players from this much lauded academy. Until then it's just pointless conjecture imo.
Yeah City aren't shouting about it yet it seems to be being regularly highlighted in the media. I guess that's just a coincidence.
I don't think that's the point.The success of the academy should be judged on the quality of their products, not necessarily whether they are given proper chances in the first team (i.e the Rossis versus the Cleverleys).The main concern isn't about whether their newly built academy will be a success either but how would it impact our academy considering we're rivals and neighbors and for many kids especially the locals it's a straight choice between the two clubs.If they managed to get a lot of talented kids to sign for them with the financial packages and stuffs it would affect the overall quality of our setup as well with smaller pool of talents to choose from.
Seems he's in Manchester today to watch the Manchester derby (he's an United fan).Would be surprised if he's not going to be signed.
On another note Harrop seems to be out for the U21s match tomorrow and same for Borthwick-Jackson.
Our next game will be on 23rd Nov against Norwich unless there are friendly matches.
FFS, at least they'll have pretty much a game every week after that. Should have just sent the whole squad on loan for the last couple of months.
Can someone clarify the situation with u21 football? Why are all those matches postponed?
The Reading game was postponed because the u19s play tomorrow so the under 21s would be missing half their team if they had played tonight. Not sure why so many other games have been postponed though the only possible reason I can think of is that they want them playing games more regularly in the 2nd half of the season to replicate senior football
Looks like 14 years old Northern Irish striker Ethan Galbraith who played up for their U16s in this year's Victory Shield is going to sign for us.
Anyone watched Fosu Mensah? heard his name a few times now, apparently our biggest talent. That true?
Looks very, very promising. He is one of those whom it is hard not to get carried away with when you watch him.
The name Galbraith made me think of Daniel Galbraith. Sad that his career turned out the way it could have - really talented lad but a lot of injuries both during his time with us and later, effectively ended his career. He played 7 matches last season for Gillingham - and without the injuries he would have played regularly at higher levels than that.
Don't think it exactly counts as reserve news but 9 of the United deaf team were selected for the U21 GB deaf squad.
United losing 3-1 at HT. Rashford scored for us.

FT 4-2
Our lads are smashing it this season so far.
U16s beat Everton 1-0 with a goal from George Tanner.
Any idea how Kinsella has been doing? He's been supposed to be one of Ireland's better prospects for a few years. Not starting at underage level doesn't seem a great indicator...
Bit of a blast from the past but all the talk about Lingard and Fergie predicting him really developing at 22-23 reminded me of Larnell Cole.
Used to really rate him highly, another late bloomer who Fergie rated very highly. Anyone think he'd have gotten a shot under LvG had he stuck around instead of joining Fulham?
I know he's not had the best of time at Fulham but I think we'd have seen him do well under Van Gaal

Larnell is quite inconsistent and unlucky with injuries as well.I didn't rate him as high as Lingard because of his inconsistency.A (more extreme) version of Lingard in the academy currently would be Ollie Rathbone.
