About
United Youth is a 100% independent Manchester United weblog focused specifically on the reserve and youth teams of MUFC and related subjects, featuring news, opinion, match previews/reports and detailed profiles and statistics. I am not connected to MUFC in any way and lay no claim to having particular access to inside information – this is not to say this site won’t break any stories itself, but the general intention and purpose of United Youth is to collate and present relevant information from a number of sources (both public and private) in one easily accessible place for those who want to keep up to date with what is going on below first team level at United.

I am a keen Youth historian and have extensive records which I am happy to share going back to 1938.
The site is great and I would be happy to help out in any way as well as gathering information for myself.
One request……when giving youth and reserve line-ups….the formation is a great idea…but can you also post team numbers next to them?
Cheers
JA

Cheers Joe, glad you found the site (I’m ‘PS18′ on the redcafe forum btw). Will remember to add numbers next season and I appreciate the offer of help/shared information, I will definitely look to take you up on that in due course!

Hi Nick,
Some information gleaned from the Internet around McGinty.
1. Has appeared for the ROI U/15, U/16, and U/17 sides (still doing research into actual games but it seems he has 6 u/15 caps starting with a sub appearance v Turkey on 13.2.08)
2. He attends Oakwood Park Grammar School and also plays for Sittingbourne FC in the Kent League as a midfielder
3. He made his reserve team debut for Charlton v Millwal on 1.4.09 and made three appearances in total
4. He has already represented Charlton in the FAYC….coming on as a sub against Blackburn Rovers on 2.12.08
5. Turned down Fulham, Chelsea and West Ham to join United
6. His parents are apparently Irish but he lives in Maidstone
More info to follow

Ivan – as said in the text on this page, I’m not connected with MUFC in any official capacity, I’m just a supporter, so I can’t help unfortunately.
