Will the tournament be officially streamed the like some of these are?

No stream but they have match recording service for the teams that need it so there will be some match videos on Youtube (might not fall into any United match though).
 
Bury U18s line-up today. Barrett, Makela and Allardyce who was released by us start.

Always thought Faustin Makela was quite highly rated?

Been injured a lot and had growth issue in the last 3-4 years. We sent him (and Barrett) to Bury on loan so that they can get enough game times and in Makela's case probably to evaluate whether we should offer him a pro deal.
 
United have apparently signed Will Vint, a 15-year old American midfielder. Son of Everton’s Academy Director Peter Vint. Has had trials at Everton (surprise) and Fulham.

Edit: Everton have parted company with Peter Vint on Wednesday 29th.

Weird. But then again on 2nd thoughts he would probably be better off not training in the academy run by his father.
 
I've seen him play a couple of times, he came on both times as a substitute, so I can't really say much on him as he didn't play too long

Didn't we interview WBA's head of academy last season? I think there's a chance that he maybe headed to United.

From the official statement, it seems Vint has resigned.

My first thought as well, times well with his son signing... Headed to me? But I don't need a Head of Academy personally. :nervous:
 
Couple of updates:
- We have signed Theo Richardson after his trial.
- Will Vint is signed from Chester's academy, he rejected a deal from Fulham.
- We signed another Irish for the U14s and released a couple of players at that age group.
- U16s beat Urawa Red Diamonds 3-0 on Tuesday (Dolan x 2, Sotona). There's a trialist played.
 
Theo Richardson, that trialist from Leeds?

Interestingly we can actually play both Gomes and O'Connor in this tournament as overage players according to the rule (of course we won't).

Will be interesting to see the squad since we have only 3 2001 born U16s left (Laird, Garner and GK Carney) so majority will be U15s. Might have some trialists involved (or some players that we already had agreement but act like trialists).

As far as I know the 2 overage players going are Levitt and Mellor
 
Here's the Poland U15 vs Wales U15 match:

Oli Denham plays with number 6, Hughes is number 6 but I'm not sure if he comes on.

Zidane Iqbal is an awesome name... hope the lad is good!

Any clue as to the standouts we should be looking out for?

Shoretire and Fish would be the main ones. Iqbal and Robertson are quite highly rated as well

Manchester United also have a team in Group D. 2005 players.
I'm unsure how to post a photo of the group on this forum.

They (the 2005 - U12s group) beat Uno Sports World (Japan) 7-0 on their first matches. Goals from O'Grady-Macken, Veevers, Mainoo, Fredricson, Wilding x 2, Berry.

u12's (2005) won 13:0 to go through to the next stage of MIC 17, next match is today at 1700 local time.
 
Has Robbie Savage a son called Charlie in our academy? He posted a picture with him in a United kit at a tournament in Mallorca.

Cheers. What age group is he do you know?

Edit: Nevermind. I just spotted on the previous page that it's the under 14's.

This is the only match in the tournament that I can find a video record (they're currently through to semi-final, playing Liverpool).

Shirt numbers are a bit different to the original squad list. Charlie is number 11, Iqbal is 8, Shoretire 10, Mayamona 7, Levent Gundogan is 9 and I have no idea who're the number 6 and 12.
