Crazy this. My brother was telling me that they already have Phil Neville and Robbie Savage's lads in the academy.
I while ago I heard most of the top teams had quite a few ex players kids on their books at early teen years and below. I assume there has to be a minimum amount of talent to be there but there is also a case of who you know. I don't know if that is still the case. Considering that, its amazing how few ex players kids seem to make it.

Sergio Agüero has a son with his first wife, Gianinna Maradona. Just imagine...
Darnell Furlong at West Brom is the son of Paul, journeyman 90s striker.

Only took the FA a month to actually implement their own rules. Impressive.
He’s also seemingly getting off Scott free for assaulting Yerry Mina in the League cup quarter final.

If only they had, say, a 9 year old "heads up" (Suarez v Evra)
Simeon Tegel: Is the term 'negrito' racist? Sadly for the FA, yes and
The fact he said it in the heat of battle against United could undermine his claim

Seems a bit stupid, really. There are plenty of inappropriate cultural 'things' that various countries have, but you can't use your own country's tolerance to defend something you do in another country.
One of the barriers to racism being eradicated is people's denial of it - people can say racist things (often accidentally) without being racist, but will often dismiss the nature of what is said rather than accepting their own ignorance.

I suppose they are in a position to get first digs in case the player becomes good. But you can also argue that they are taking the place of a better youth team player because of this "nepotism"
The title of this thread " lets all laugh at united " considering how they are playing and where they are in the league I suggest we find another team to take the piss out of because we are in no position to be calling them out and it makes our fanbase look stupid and ignorant .

I still laugh at United. They’ve built a strong title push on a foundation of glass. It’s just a question of time before it all comes crashing down. Everyone beats everyone this season, that’s the only reason they are up there.
Would I be surprised if they’re still in the race come may? No, but I won’t be surprised if they’re struggleing to qualify for Europa League either.

How foundation of glass? Their squad is one of the best in the league. The highlighted describes our own position if we continue not to finish teams off
