The cold Friday nights at Leigh Sports Village are often made worthwhile by Manchester United's academy talent.
There is no escape from the elements at the stadium that is situated around 10 miles away from Old Trafford, but sometimes there are individual performances so brilliant that they are enough to make you forget about the cold biting at your fingers.
United have a rich history of naturing academy talent and that tradition has survived decades when other aspects of the clubs have changed for the worse. There are hundreds of staff that work tirelessly at United and some are tasked with defining and shaping young players' futures every day. United's unrivalled record of producing players is a testament to their brilliant work.
