Manchester United: Giving Youth A Chance
View attachment 50059
Introduction
It's been a couple of years since I've done a story on here and in fact, I've only just picked up the latest version of FM today!
I thought I would start with my favourite club, one that I know well and always use as my first save whenever I pick up a new FM. The only difference this year is I'm doing a story about it!
Not wanting to make it too easy for myself and inspired by coolmcool's idea about not going crazy on the transfer market, I've decided to limit myself to one transfer per window but I cannot roll it over if I decide not to sign anyone. I can however make more than one if I future date the second transfer to the next or a future window but there will only ever be one senior player joining per window. I have set my Head of Youth Development Nicky **** to find and make offers for young players which will not count towards my one transfer per window.
These rules will help me be more focused on strengthening my weakest area one window at a time as opposed to a scatter gun approach which is easy to do when you have the budget of Manchester United.
Bringing through youth is such a big part of Manchester United's identity so I will of course be looking to blood any youngsters where possible as well as making sure our facilities are at the highest possible standard to keep that conveyor belt of outstanding youth coming through the doors.
I guess there's nothing else to do but get into it!
