Manchester United recorded their lowest-ever Premier League points total last season but this failure did not extend to the club's industry-leading academy, which enjoyed an outstanding season with the Under-18s winning the FA Youth Cup.
A record-breaking 67,492 fans watched the U18s claim the Youth Cup trophy at Old Trafford in May and the Class of '22 wrote themselves into the history of the academy, alongside other graduates who have since forged impressive careers.
The academy has remained one of the best in Europe despite a tumultuous last decade for the club and the combination of excellent, dedicated coaches and having the foresight to bring talent in from elsewhere has been key in that.
