Good point only slightly caveated that they showed him the door. Still didn’t stop Robbie Savage though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just shows that he wasn't good enough for Man Utd - nothing more. The players our academy has produced so far are light years behind the top talent coming out of Uniteds.

mr dynamo Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 The Borkovic one is a bit odd in that it's just coming to light. The kid joined back in March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoyMac5 Posted August 18, 2020 Share Posted August 18, 2020 Borkovic is a winger according to the thread (well himself on the thread!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They usually get let go, because they aren't as good as their colleagues. Don't get me wrong i'm sure he can do a job for us, but Man Utd aren't letting their best talent go for no reason. We have some good facilities, but as yet we've not got anyone even close to the level top prem teams are producing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although Hector-Ingram left West Ham (who offered him another contract) to join us - we might be be at the status of the very top clubs youth set ups, but we are getting further towards them as the years go by.

I told everyone where Borkovic played in the academy thread on the 3rd. In fact, there was a match before lockdown when he made his U18 debut for us and I said where he played.

I agree. There is definitely a lead time before we will see the results of the investment. At the moment though we haven't produced anyone of the quality of Rashford, Mount, Wilson, Greenwood, etc. The likes of Bird or Sibley could improve to that level as they get more game time, but its too early to tell. Realistically the academy investment will have the most impact on the younger age groups though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
