The Former United Youth/Reserves Thread

1+1 contract.
Great signing for Ipswich. If he can stay fit, they'll have a fantastic back line.
Big if. Tuanzebe his problem is that he cant stay fit at all. If he could stay fit he would be a starting Premier League player.
True, maybe will be managed better though in a lower pressure environment. Certainly will follow Ipswich a bit more now.
Back to England, and joined Reading
Nice! Savage, Wellens, Pereira…
They also have former academy striker Sam Smith (who we released at 16)
Demetri Mitchell scored the winner for Exeter last night as they knocked out Luton in the EFL Cup. Then sent off a few minutes later for a harsh 2nd yellow. Mengi made his debut for Luton.
And then Fernandez entered the pitch at half-time and helped turn 0-3 to 3-3
Could've won it too, he hit the post in the 100th minute.
Charlie Savage makes his full international debut v Gibraltar
A United XI played a Hibernian XI yesterday as a testimonial for David Gray.
The likes of Wes Brown, Phil Bardsley, Darren Gibson, Danny Drinkwater and Darren Fletcher had a run out for United. Reading the squad list there was one surprising name for United that stood out and that was Ravel Morrison, which is great to see that he's getting involved in matches like this for United.

Lee Martin putting Ramsgate 2-1 up against Woking in the FA Cup.
Tahith Chong puts Luton 1-0 up against Liverpool.
Anyone watch the game. How was Mengi. Always had high hopes for him. He's surely a better 4th choice than Lindlof
Very solid - Ross Barkley should probably be considered MOTM - but Mengi and Lockyer can't be far behind
thanks
Does it look like he's over his injuries? Mengi I mean...
How was mengi yesterday? Looked very solid against Liverpool last week.
Do we have a buy back clause with him?
The deal with Mengi was undisclosed, but I think there's a chance we have since we did it for both Kovar and Iqbal. We only had sell-on for Laird though (probably didn't since Birmingham is on the Championship and we don't see a path for Laird returning straight to us without going to a PL club first in-between)
Mengi is pretty solid recently. I guess we have buy back, but probably solid percentage of next sale and if everything goes well for him with Luton next year he might get sale to PL club in 2 years for solid amount.
Callum Gribbin, Matthew Olusunde, Tom Thorpe, Eric Hanbury, Ro-Shaun Williams, Joe Thompson & Oliver Kilner have been back training at the club this week.
Really brilliant stuff.
Really brilliant stuff.
Do we have a buy back clause on Mengi. Guy looks really good. Shame we never gave him a chance. With him, Willy and Martinez we had the basis of a really good central defense. With Varane acting as the experienced head
Mengi was awful the last 12 months playing for the reserves - I am glad things are improving for him, but there are better (almost) 22 year old central defenders out there
Nice to see so many former youth players flourishing in the PL, Mengi, Garner, Elanga and Pereira all making significant impacts at their respective clubs. Not to mention others like Chong, Johnstone, Henderson, Welbeck and Keane playing their part. Strong United representation.
Rothwell signed for Southampton on loan from Bournemouth.
Ramazani scored against Madrid tonight, linked with Everton this Jan.
They certainly love more La Carrington graduates. Linked with Hannibal too.
Mes que un club, la.
They've probably done the best out of signing players that haven't made it with us, so it's a good gig for them.
Pretty good career so far for Ramazani. Taking a chance in Segunda, promotion and keeping place in Primera, playing, scoring a few goals. Honestly with his size and talent, it is above my expectations.
Our former U23/U21 keeper Paul Woolston who was forced to retire a couple of years ago due to an injury, has joined National League side Hartlepool as a first team goalkeeping coach. He’s done some punditry work for MUTV since his retirement.
Ex-United Zidane Iqbal has played 2 of the 3 games which see Iraq top of their group in the African Cup of Nations with 3 wins
Looked quality at this level here against Vietnam

Mejia scored again, 2 goals in 2 games for Sevilla Atletico. It is 4th tier in Spain.
Gomes assist
Joe Rothwell scored 2 goals for Southampton today. Don't know if he ever scored 2 in a game before 
Martin Svidersky scored his first professional goal for Real Murcia in the Spanish 3rd tier.
Has had a nightmare with injuries in Spain too & is only recently back from a second ACL injury, so great to see him playing again.
They also spelled his name wrong on his shirt
