How many can you name?

Whether it be the Busby Babes, Fergie’s Fledglings or the Class of 92, Manchester United have always taken great pride in the development of their youth system and that has been rewarded with a record ten FA Youth Cup titles. The investment in youth has seen some amazing talent coming though the ranks, most notably George Best, Duncan Edwards, Bobby Charlton, Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes to name just a few.

Incredibly, since 1937 the Red Devils have fielded a home-grown player in the first-team squad for the last 85 years which equates to over 4,000 consecutive games. However, not all graduates make the grade at Old Trafford but many go on to forge a very successful professional careers elsewhere at other clubs. The above squad from the early 90’s contains plenty of talent, how many can you name? Answer in the comments below.
