    Slightly off topic but it looks like Mata's head is attached to Rojo's back :D

    Pic also gives everyone a chance to bask in the glory of Daley's perfect hair.

    Ryan McConnell ex Man Utd youth that moved to finn harps last year....

    "In my last year there under Van Gaal, it was all very separate and you didn't get to see the senior players, it didn't feel like a family club anymore. When Fergie was there it was great, everyone was in together, everyone spoke to everyone and no one was bigger than anyone else.
    The senior players would have spoken to you in the gym, ask how you were getting on, but towards the end, I felt they were being propelled to being like gods at the club. To me, you're the same person if you're in the Man United first team or not."

    doesn't make good reading, shows on the pitch as well

    Scroll up the page there and you'll see half the lads training with the first team are youth players.

    By necessity. Doesn't mean they're all sitting around eating lunch together.

    don't know but all the players ate at the same time under fergie. I remember the incident with Robbie Brady and Ronaldo and fergie told Brady to "man up" after Ronaldo skipped the queue ahead of him

    Maybe that's what's wrong with youth players they expect too much respect too soon. Back 20 years ago they had to clean the senior players boots and its not so long ago that the youths trained at a separate centre let alone eat with the first team.

    Playing "nuts" with bottlecaps was the order of the day with us. The bating you'd get when it went through your legs :eek:

    Empty juice cartons is what we used. I have one fond memory of us kicking a full one though. We were destroyed by Ribera!

    Ours had a football pitch!

    Though there was no crossbars, just two metal posts. And sides had grass that was 5 feet tall, so if your ball went out of play, it was gone.

    But there was a horse in the field next door who'd wander over to spectate.
