Charlie Mitten ladies and gents - no need to worry - scored 23 goals in the 49 season in league and cup games, sold on for 20,000 to fulham

The key men in Busby's network would be Joe Armstrong (assigned the duty of finding schoolboy talent in the north of England), Bob Harper and Bob Bishop (keeping eagle-eyes on potential stars in Belfast), and Billy Behan (taking care of business in Dublin).

Once taken on, youngsters were coaxed and groomed by coach Bert Whalley and trainer Tom Curry. They were winners of the FA Youth Cup tournament, first introduced in the 1952-53 season, for five successive years, giving Busby a formidable and reliable source of new and exciting talent. The Busby Babes had arrived, though no-one yet had coined the nickname.

The your question be wrong - Whalley joined 2 years after Busby
 
OK, a slightly easier one this time;

Against what team did George Best, Bobby Charlton and Denis Law play together in the Manchester United team for the first time?

"Bert Whalley had been chosen regularly at half back, however in 1947 he decided to hang up his books and take a coaching job under Busby. This would prove to be highly significant in future years. Bert Whalley was an instant success as a coach, guiding, developing, and motivating a group of youngsters at the Club who would find recognition of their own in the near future, this group of youngsters would be later known to the Football world as: The Busby Babes."

Yes... but he joined as a coach after Busby joined, the coaches in place at the time before he was a coach were - Bill Inglis, Tom Curry and Jimmy Murphy - 2 years later Whalley was added to that, a mis worded question perhaps but never mind

David May only scored one goal in the Champions League with Manchester United, he didn't score for Blackburn Rovers for sure. WeasteDevil is that correct?
 
1 Goal in all European competitions - he scored the opener against Porto in a 4-0 win over them
