Unless you mean the ones that come after of course which is clearly in the op.

Welbeck.

He has quality that you just can't teach.

Wes Brown

I’d have to say Wes Brown, he had a great chant too Hopefully Ole can get hold of Rashford and refine his game, improve his link up play and his composure in front of goal.

The fact Mark Hughes is still the only CF from our academy to be the real deal is ridiculous for a club who actively promotes youth team players.

Shame Wes Brown had so many injury problems, he could have been a truly great defender.

Yep. Rio was only bought because of his injury troubles, at his best was a monster physically and much superior at defending.

In terms of ability, Wes Brown by a country mile. For me he is up there alongside Woodgate and Kindg as 3 really top defenders that could have been greats if not for injuries.

What's going on with you, Robbing? You seem a little distracted atm mate.

In terms of on-field contributions, it'd be Fletcher for me, quite comfortably, followed by Wesley, O'Shea and Evans, in that order.

Next take your pick from Cleverley, Rashford (probably next for me), Welbeck, Richardson and Lingard. I guess Pogba doesn't count...

Hopefully, we'll be including some of the likes of Pereira, TFM, McT, Tuanzebe, Greenwood and Garner in future lists

The likes of Heaton, Drinkwater, King, Shawcross, Simpson and Keane all are or were good players.

Rooney

Fletcher in my view, but Brown & O’Shea not far behind.

But surely Gerard Pique would have to be the best prospect from the academy if we include players that moved elsewhere?

I would have to say Fletcher just about because he actually made it in his best position. Brown and O’Shea played most of their best stuff at full back

Our academy really is brilliant, it's not just the players who have had careers at United, but those who have left and still been good enough to forge a path in top level football.

You think about the like of Craig Cathcart, Robbie Brady, Phil Bardsey, James Chester, Corry Evans, Mats Daehli, Giuseppe Rossi, Ron-Robert Zieler etc, there are loads of 'em.

Talent - Brown
