\nManchester United’s senior team may have struggled but the age group teams have been on fire with the famed United academy churning out one top talent after the other.<\/p>\n
The United U18s clinched the U18 Premier League North title<\/a> while losing only twice all season while they also clinched the Premier League Cup<\/a> for the first time. The U21s have also qualified for the play-offs<\/a>, where they will face off against Arsenal.<\/p>\n The academy has been the source of the only sliver of hope this season from a first team perspective as most high-profile names have struggled this season.<\/p>\n Erik ten Hag has benefited from the breakthroughs of Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo<\/a> while the rampaging injury crisis has seen him hand out debuts to the likes of Dan Gore<\/a>, Willy Kambwala<\/a>, Omari Forson<\/a> and most recently, Ethan Wheatley.<\/p>\n The forward became the 250th academy graduate<\/a> to make his debut for the first team, a remarkable record and testament to the hard work done behind the scenes.<\/p>\n As relayed by The Peoples Person<\/em>, 17-year-old Shea Lacey was next in line<\/a> for a possible debut before the season concluded. But that has to wait now.<\/p>\n Gutted to have picked up another injury to finish my season early looking forward to next season \ud83d\ude24\ud83e\udd1e\ud83c\udffc pic.twitter.com\/wgV1MdiHnf<\/a><\/p>\n — Shea lacey (@Shealacey10) April 29, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nLacey’s season done<\/h5>\n
