    The academy has been a real positive in what's been a depressing time for United. I've certainly enjoyed watching the under 18 matches far more than the first team of late.
    Kukonki has looked very impressive this season and really looking forward to seeing him given a chance for the seniors. The scary thing is he's a huge unit now but hasn't finished growing yet!!!

    Kobbie, Garna (OK, we bought him but I'm still counting him lol), Amir, Amass, Lacey, Kukonki...the academy has been producing some serious talent in recent years. Not everyone will make it of course but one of the reasons I favour keeping EtH is because he gives young players a chance and if he thinks they're good enough has no problem throwing them into the team (though you can argue that he might overplay Mainoo and Garna).

By the time he was 18 all the other lads packed on the same physicality and he looked bang average because of it. Point is, don’t get carried away with a big kid’s abilities at that age when they’re not playing against fully grown men.

      Despite his physicality, the thing he has as well is ball playing ability and is comfortable on the ball, so that alone makes him a top potential player. The physicality is just a bonus and is the reason why hes playing 21s football at 16. Hes taller than van Dijk ffs and plays like Lisandro…
