5 questions to answer post the Alexis Sanchez-Henrikh Mkhitaryan swap deal

#1 Has Manchester United's academy been left behind?

'The Class Of 92', will we ever see another class coming in from United?

Manchester United have always found pride in players emerging from their academy who have been a vital part of the club’s winning fabric. However, in the last few years, the academy has failed to produce any notable players apart from Marcus Rashford, who himself was a lucky beneficiary of an injury to Anthony Martial.

The club's stars have been sending their sons to the Academy of Manchester City, signalling that the Academy of City is superior at this moment. This also reflects the lack of return in terms of trophies in recent times for the Under-23s and the Under-18s.

Surely, this would have been discussed by those in the upper echelons of United’s’ hierarchy? The sooner the academy returns to its glory days the better for the Red Devils.
