The Manchester United academy is one of the most celebrated in world football.
United have managed to produce talent after talent that has gone on to dominate the game.
From the time of George Best to modern days with Marcus Rashford, the academy has always been a source of pride, providing a pathway to stardom.
Beyond the academy, football has always been a sport rich in family legacies.
Father-son duos have long been a fascinating element in the game.
Think of Peter and Kasper Schmeichel, both English Premier League winning goalkeepers. Father Peter won it at Manchester United, while son Kasper won it with Leicester City.
Johan and Jordi Cruyff represented the Netherlands on the world stage, with Johan leaving a legacy as one of the greatest ever.
Jordi even had a short spell at Old Trafford in the mid ’90s.
Both became managers, with Johan Cruyff changing the landscape of football with his style ‘total football’.
There are also the Redknapps – Harry as a celebrated manager and his son Jamie as a English Premier League star and now media pundit.

Manchester United is no exception to this trend.
There are several young players currently progressing through the ranks of their academy, having famous fathers.
Here are four academy stars with famous footballing fathers.
