Manchester United have an absolute wealth of talent in their young ranks, with some having worked their way through the academy, and some joining this year.
The Under-18s side particularly have had an incredible season, having gone 13 games undefeated, even grabbing results like 9-0 against Blackburn Rovers, 8-0 against Leeds United and 6-0 against Nottingham Forest.
The squad already boasted talent like James Scanlon, Shea Lacey and Gabriele Biancheri, however youngsters like Bendito Mantato, Godwill Kukonki and Amir Ibragimov have joined their ranks from younger age brackets this season.
On top of these additions, players like Chido Obi-Martin, Samuel Lusale and James Overy have brought in even more strength to the squad from other clubs.

Manchester United advance in cup thanks to Chido Obi and James Scanlon
On Wednesday the Under-18s side booked their slot in the next round of the FA Youth Cup with a 5-1 win over Chelsea.
The Red Devils had a James Scanlon brace and a Chido Obi-Martin hattrick to thank for their victory, however United have now released news about their hattrick hero.
Steven Railston has confirmed that his name is in fact “Chido Obi” with “Martin” being his middle name which he has now asked to be dropped.
Obi is a tremendously exciting young striker, giving hope to United fans who are hoping to see a prolific goalscorer grace Old Trafford once more amid consistency issues with Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee.
United have confirmed it is ‘Chido Obi’ and not ‘Chido Obi-Martin’.
His middle name is ‘Martin’ and I believe the player has asked for it to be dropped.
Just wanted to clarify to avoid confusion going forward #mufc pic.twitter.com/6iePStjRUa
