United signing highly rated youth players (summer ‘24)

[Daengophile]

4 very talented under 18’s signed in 1 summer.

Leny Yoro (CB, 18)
Sékou Koné (DM, 18)
Chido Obi-Martin (CF, 16)
Samuel Lusale (Winger, 16)

Low risk / high reward.

Love to see it.

There does seem to be a big change in recruitment strategy.

We are also paying much less than we have been for new and younger players.

I haven't looked at wages - but I think the new FFP and the new recruitment processes have reduced those too.

I'm sure there will be some stats at the end of the window

Once we start performing and making a serious challenge in the league, it will be easier to hire again

Tbf we've been doing it for a while

Hannibal
Amad
Pellistri

Shaw
Martial
Dalot
AWB
Sancho

Generally the issues been once they've got here. Shaw, Dalot, AWB and Martial have been the success stories - but even then it's been a pain at times. AWBs probably had the most straightforward development.

You forgot the best of the lot - Garnacho

I still cant believe the club landed Leny Yoro considering he was Real Madrid bound and whenever that happens they always go there. Cant think of any top talent that snubbed Real Madrid in the last 10 years. Even that microplastic prick Ronaldo went there when United were better than Madrid. Then you have Varane, Kross, Modric, Oodegard, the list is endless.

I’ve seen people (read: ABUs) saying that Yoro didn’t want to come here but Lille forced him to. Probably not true but still.
