First Team Squad
United churn them out because they had the pick of the whole of the North west apart from in and around Merseyside.
There will be a shift in that in a few years time when the money City have spent comes to fruition.
Probably right on this - listened to a 5 Live show on academies not so long ago. Man City are definitely chosen over Man Utd right now. There's supposed to be limits on what the youth players can be offered, but it doesn't sound like they're in place in practice. By all accounts, there's some private school in Lancashire that is basically known as the Man City school.
