MUFC under 18s add the PL Cup to their league title by beating MCFC 2-1 tonight. Two goals from Ethan Wheatley. Congratulations to all.

He features in the second part of this inside the academy long read for The Athletic | Football

Diogo Dalot has played 150 MUFC games - the fourth Portuguese to reach that for MU. Name the others.
He says: 'it's a huge honour to reach this milestone for one of the biggest clubs in the world.'
He's had his best season in '23-24. I think he deserves his first UWS cover.

Part 2 inside Manchester United's academy. Here, we look at the importance of retaining players, their education, style of football and the facilities.

And good luck to all the boys I met in their cup final tonight against MCFC.

I was a critic of elements of MUFC's academy in 2015 & '19, chiefly funding and facilities.

I got a call in Feb. 'Come in. Access all areas. Speak to anyone you want. Write how you find it.'

So I did, for 10 hours. Part 1 (it's big) for The Athletic | Football
