"I just think, historically, this club's built around the Academy. We've got an amazing Academy. Our record speaks for itself. I'm not going to sit here and say anything other than that. We've got an amazing record. I think it's hard to beat in terms of the history of clubs around the world. I think we've got some amazing players, some amazing talents."
"I think what I see is a lot of hard-working, humble young players, who aren't perfect, because they're young and they're learning and they've got a lot to do. I think we ask and expect too much of young people sometimes - in society and in general. And that's not a criticism of anybody, that's just my beliefs. I think we have to let them learn, educate them, help them, understand they're going to make mistakes, and they're going to do things that'll frustrate you."
Manchester United has a long-standing identity built around its Academy and a proven record of producing top-level talent. The Academy contains hard-working, humble, coachable young players with significant talent and potential. Young players will make mistakes and require time, education, and guidance to develop. Coaches, family members, and first-team players share responsibility for supporting and mentoring Academy prospects. The club must balance expectations with patience and provide opportunities for these players to learn, gain experience, and ultimately transition into Manchester United players and people.
