#2 Personality
Supporters love their club's players for the personality they display on the pitch. While local talent is present at United, it has been hard for them to break into the first team. The talent from the world over is not Manchester bound either.
At least not the red part of Manchester. Any young footballer will prefer to safely steer away from any interest from a struggling club. Which is why the first team needs a major shake-up. The shirt should be earned; worn by players who bring presence and a fighting attitude. Young kids have personality too. Ajax's captain this season was a 19-year-old Matthijs de Ligt. Cesc Fàbregas bossed the midfield as an 18-year-old for Arsenal.
Reposing faith in the youth works. Rather lose with a young team 'The United Way'. They have plenty of good academy players in Tahith Chong, Mason Greenwood, Angel Gomes, James Garner, Ethan Laird, and Brandon Williams. It will pay off. Sooner than one expects.
