Erik ten Hag has been given a boost ahead of his arrival at Manchester United after a new stat revealed that United have handed out more minutes to their youngsters than any other Premier League team this year.
Under Sir Alex Ferguson, United became synonymous with success - but the legendary Scot's teams were often spearheaded by young, homegrown talent. The club's infamous 'Class of 92' - which included the likes of David Beckham, Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes - even formed the foundations of the United team that enjoy a sustained spell of success during the late 90s.
While United's powers have waned significantly since Ferguson made the decision to step down from his role at Old Trafford almost a decade ago, the club have at least remained consistent with their commitment to giving academy graduates a clear path to the first-team.
