Now in its 71st 12 months, the Youth Cup is likely one of the world’s most prestigious and storied youth soccer tournaments. Its alumni stretches from United’s personal Busby Babes — five-time consecutive winners within the Fifties — by way of to present Premier League footballers, together with our personal Tom Heaton (2003 winner), Mason Mount (2016, 2017), Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo (2022) in addition to Nathan Ake, Conor Gallagher, Marc Guehi, Reece James, Tariq Lamptey, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Cole Palmer, Emile Smith-Rowe, and Kieran Trippier.
No membership is extra carefully linked with the Youth Cup than United. Our 11 victories chronicle how the Academy has proved the bedrock of success right here, and the newest, even in only one evening, was an important reminder of what makes this membership particular. A record-breaking 67,492-strong Outdated Trafford crowd watched on, as followers confirmed their unerring dedication to supporting the subsequent technology of Academy expertise.
Because the competitors begins as soon as extra, we hope to see followers come all the way down to Outdated Trafford as soon as once more to cheer on our younger Reds.
