with Rooney out, they have no recognised striker for the game against Chelsea.
when a reporter asked about promoting a striker from the under 23 team managed by Nicky butt, Jose said no as man utd are too big.
great endorsement of their academy, if I were a trainee I would be looking to jump ship to a team where they play young talent.
I remember scowcroft saying on the times podcast that rashford is the only real huge star from that age group. Apparently city have hoovered up all of the local talent including sons of utd players etc.
This was a year or so back but he was really down on the utd youth system.
