There’s plenty of young talent emerging from Manchester United’s academy

While rivals Arsenal and Liverpool have enjoyed watching teenage talents take centre stage this season, Manchester United have their own reasons for optimism. Considerable focus has centred on JJ Gabriel, who must wait until next campaign to make his Premier League bow due to competition regulations, but another academy starlet has already made his bow.

Shea Lacey has yet to turn 19 but is still slightly older than Arsenal’s Max Dowman and Liverpool’s Rio Ngumoha. Nevertheless, former United team-mate James Nolan reckons the winger – who made his Premier League debut in December – possesses genuine quality and is unlikely to be put off by an early red card.

“Shea is that guy,” Baller League star Nolan told Mirror Football, recalling stopping in digs with the England youth international when the pair were together in United’s academy. He witnessed Lacey receive a red card on his FA Cup debut against Brighton in January but maintains even that incident doesn’t diminish the ability he has displayed.

“He’s just got it,” he added. “He’s playing 10, 15 minutes, but you can see the level he’s at.” Nolan, who skippered United’s Under-18 squad and operated at right-back and left-back throughout his academy stint, has first-hand experience precisely what makes the best wingers so tough to play against.

When about the best wide man he has played against, Lacey might not have got the name-check on that occasion, but there was a good reason for it.

“When the first team played Barcelona in the Europa League at the Nou Camp, United and Barca spoke and we played [against their academy team] in the morning and then watched the first team at night,” he explained.

“I came on in the second half and there’s a little 13-year-old kid stood on the side. He comes on and I’m thinking, ‘Oh, nice and easy, this.’ It ended up being Lamine Yamal.

“So he comes on and gets the ball passed to him. I’m tight to him and then takes a touch inside, probably 25 yards out and just whips it top corner. Yeah. I’m thinking, ‘Alright.’ Then two minutes later, I try to nail him and he skips past me and does exactly the same.”

He added: “I’ve played [against] Ethan Nwaneri at Arsenal. You’ve got Myles Lewis-Skelly. Nico O’Reilly, Rico Lewis. And obviously played with Kobbie [Mainoo], played with [Alejandro] Garnacho, played with Shea Lacey.

“There’s been that many where I’ve stepped off the football pitch and thought, ‘You know what? Fair play.’ You know when you’re coming up against someone when with the first touch they just go and do that like with Yamal.

“It’s just special. I’ve been lucky to play against these players and it’s one of those things where I’ll always remember it and it’s been a brilliant time doing it.”

The next in line could be Gabriel, who only celebrated his 15th birthday in October. Nolan recalls coming across the youngster during his own spell in United’s academy and describes it as “scary” to witness how rapidly he has grown into a player who is now knocking on the door of a first-team opportunity.

“When we used to be in college doing our Btecs, he used to come into the school and then he used to train with us in the afternoon and even at 12, 13, it was mental [how good he was],” Nolan continued.

“I think with certain players, when you get to the 14, 15 age, you just know straight away. For me, I think once Shea gets his chance, he’ll do very well for himself.”

Nolan isn’t the only one to have been genuinely impressed by Lacey’s talent. Former United title-winner Clayton Blackmore championed the “if you’re good enough, you’re old enough” philosophy, while the club’s own managers have supported the teenager in the most definitive manner possible by granting him senior appearances.

Under-21s coach Adam Lawrence has highlighted the winger’s “elite technical level” as Lacey continues to train with the first team alongside game time for the younger squad. He has netted eight goals in nine Premier League 2 appearances this campaign and was included on the bench by Carrick for a victory over Fulham in February.

Nolan was close to finding himself in the same boat not that long ago, training with United’s senior squad and coming as close as you can to making a first-team squad without quite taking that last step. These days he’s enjoying a different kind of football challenge in Baller League, playing with and against other players with academy or senior experience, though he knows what it means to be asked to train with the likes of Bruno Fernandes at United.

“Going into like first team like Man United is so fast paced,” he said. “Your touch has to be perfect every time, but I think even for younger lads who got to train at 14 or 15, it opens your eyes to how good they actually are.”

The 20-year-old has rediscovered his passion for the game after a decade-long spell with United came to an end

Just a couple of days before Christmas 2024, James Nolan discovered his Manchester United career would be drawing to a close. The full-back spent over a decade at United, captaining the Under-18s side and playing alongside future first-teamers Kobbie Mainoo and Jack Fletcher, but would leave a few months later without making a senior appearance.

Nolan, from Chorley, has fond memories of his time at Old Trafford but acknowledges he fell out of love with football following his release as he found it tough to find a new club. A switch to the small-sided Baller League has transformed that, however, with the 20-year-old enjoying being surrounded by others who share similar experiences of 11-a-side football to his own.

“I was very close to Man United’s first team,” Nolan told Mirror Football. “I was packed and ready to go to Wembley when they played Coventry in the FA Cup semi-final. [Sofyan] Amrabat was injured and I was near enough there, then Amrabat ends up being fit.

“Then, going out to America [in pre-season] on my first year pro, I’ve got all my kit and then on the day I wasn’t named in the squad to go. So I was touching it [and] that’s why I think I was obviously so disheartened by it all. Because you’re that close and then to obviously be so far away, it’s difficult.”

Nolan joined United aged seven before rising all the way up to Under-21 level – where he proved versatile across both full-back roles – and earning a pro deal with the club. He turned his attention to securing a loan switch for the 2024/25 campaign as he sought his first experience of senior football, securing a temporary move to Inverness Caledonian Thistle following a deadline day approach from manager Duncan Ferguson.

“A couple of months into my time there, I’m loving it, playing every game, scored my first professional goal against Cove Rangers… and then we went into administration,” he said. “The plan from United, my agent and me was to go there till Christmas and then you can come back down south and [United might want me to go] somewhere else.

“We went into administration before Christmas. And then it was two days before Christmas while I was just about to drive back home before Christmas.. I got a phone call from the two main guys United in the academy just thinking it was a check-up.

“I hadn’t really heard much from from United whilst I’d been up there. So it was two days before Christmas, I get a phone call and just think it was a chat [but] near the end of the phone call I got this feeling that something was coming.

“In my head, I’d thought I’d done well, I thought I’d done myself justice up there and then they just turned round and said that we aren’t going off for you a new contract, which is obviously a kick in the teeth. It was a tough one to take and then it did sort of ruin my Christmas

“After that I’d sort of fallen in love with Inverness, as a club, because you’re sort of so alone up there, isolated, so everyone’s so close. I thought, you know what? I’ll see if anything comes up in the January transfer window. And if not, I’m happy to stay. And then nothing came up but then we ended up finishing the season off staying up with the minus 15 [points]. So it was a massive achievement.”

Nolan had trained alongside United’s first team after progressing through the academy, including with Cristiano Ronaldo in one of the final sessions before the veteran departed in 2022. He speaks warmly of how the coaching staff handled him, though, mentioning Steve McClaren and Darren Fletcher by name, while also holding fond memories of some of the senior players.

“All the coaching staff were absolutely sound but I think Steve and Darren took that fatherly figure and got you involved,” he added. “Then obviously [when you] meet in the little boot section where everyone put their boots on, everyone would come over to say hi and then obviously you’d walk out and then you’re looking next to you and you’ve got Bruno, but everyone gets you involved.

“It’s not like you’re going into like the Lion’s den. Everyone understands that. Yeah, you’re under 18, under 21, whatever. But they obviously know you’ve got enough to be there so they sort of take you under their wing.

“Harry Maguire was top with it. He was very good looking after us. We had Scott McTominay, obviously, he’s come through, you know, when it’s like and then obviously you’ve got Rashy (Marcus Rashford) as well.

“You genuinely can’t knock them. Everyone’s just normal lads, everyone’s there because you love football and it’s special because it’s a once in a lifetime thing to do.

“It’s like, 0.01 percent for someone, that. Such a small margin of people get to do it and I’ve been one of them that has got to experience it, which I’ll obviously be forever grateful for.”

Following the completion of his season-long loan, it was time to bid farewell and seek new opportunities. He came back to United to collect his belongings and say some goodbyes but efforts to find a new club weren’t as successful as he’d initially hoped.

“I was lucky at that point to have my missus and my family around me because it was a really tough two or three months after I got released. Because I felt like there was nothing to show from my hard work,” Nolan said.

“I fell out in love with it, which is a tough pill to swallow because football had been my whole life forever. I knew absolutely nothing different from that.”

Nolan spent some time in non-league at the start of the 2025/26 season but consciously chose to step back to spend more time with family and friends, something he hadn’t been able to do as much while at United. He acknowledges that his preference to dive straight into men’s football rather than return to the academy life after his release may have limited his options – his stint at Inverness had whetted his appetite and he craved more, despite the challenge of administration.

Eventually, the opportunity to earn a Baller League deal presented itself. A number of players in the small-sided league have signed up after stints in top academies, with former Tottenham forward Kazaiah Sterling and ex-United and Arsenal goalkeeper Hubert Graczyk among those who’ve made the switch.

Nolan sought advice from his friend Bryan Ly to get a sense of what to expect and was immediately sold on the idea. Ly was the top scorer in the inaugural Baller League season with 21 goals and is now in his third year in the competition, while he also has experience of non-league football.

“I spoke to him about it [and he] said it’s probably one of the best things he’s ever done,” Nolan revealed. “When the opportunity came up, with things that have happened on my side with 11-a-side, I thought I can’t say no.

“It’s like a once in a lifetime thing and [if] I go and do well. It opens more doors for me and it’s just an unreal experience to be a part of.”

United have emphasised the measures they’ve taken to support their former players – those who have moved on to play elsewhere after graduating from the academy. The initiative, dubbed ‘United Once, United Forever’, was unveiled during the 2023/24 season with the aim of broadening players’ understanding of all facets of football, not merely the playing aspect.

Nolan seems to have found a sense of community through Baller League but Nick Cox, United’s director of academy when the project was launched, acknowledged that each situation is unique. “It’s also about creating a network for the young players where they can share experiences, ideas and skills to the betterment of everyone,” Cox stated.

“These boys may not have achieved what they hoped to on the football pitch but you tend to find that young boys who are committed to excellence in football are really resilient, resourceful, creative, purposeful, talented young people.”

Nolan’s switch to Baller League has seen him join forces with the Gold Devils squad, overseen by YouTuber Mark Goldbridge, where his colleagues include the competition’s record goalscorer Bilal Sayoud. He acknowledges the league is brimming with quality, whether that’s the ex-Premier League stars or the gifted players who never secured their chance at the elite level of 11-a-side football.

Nolan explains: “It’s just such a mix of players where you look and think ‘you can go far’. Even in Baller League, Bilal’s been there three seasons and he’s done unbelievable. It just just opens more doors and then gives you experiences that you might never have again.”

His spell at Manchester United might not have concluded as he’d have wished but Nolan can still look back at the positives. Beyond that, he’s delighted to have discovered a setting where he can relish his football once more.

Manchester United wonderkid JJ Gabriel has caught the eye of Marcus Rashford with his performances for the Under-18s

It hasn’t taken long for JJ Gabriel to come good on his promise as a young footballer. Former Manchester United academy graduate Marcus Rashford tipped the teenager to become a future star and believes he’s already there – despite still waiting on a senior debut.

Gabriel, who turned 15 in October, isn’t allowed to play Premier League football until next season due to competition rules on the age of players. He has already trained with the first-team squad under Ruben Amorim and Michael Carrick, though, while continuing to score for fun while turning out for United’s Under-18s.

In April 2025, Gabriel became the youngest player to turn out for the Under-18 side. It didn’t take long for him to also become their youngest scorer, bagging a brace after coming off the bench against Leeds.

At the time, Rashford was on loan at Aston Villa. This didn’t stop him from commenting on the teenager’s post celebrating his achievement, though, writing “”Future star” and adding a star emoji.

Since that goalscoring debut, Gabriel has gone from strength to strength. He has scored 18 goals in 19 matches in the Under-18 Premier League this season and also became United’s youngest FA Youth Cup scorer when he netted the winner against Peterborough on his debut in the competition.

Rashford, who is spending this season with Barcelona, has kept tabs on the youngster. Gabriel shared photos of himself training with the first-team yet again, prompting the England international to write: “Lil bro is a star” – losing that ‘future’ qualifier already.

Gabriel and Rashford have very different tasks awaiting them this week. The former will be out to fire United into the FA Youth Cup semi-finals when they face Sunderland on Wednesday while the latter is in action for Barcelona against Newcastle in the Champions League.

Earlier this season, United interim boss Carrick spoke about bringing Gabriel in for first-team training sessions. “He is not allowed [to be part of a first-team squad on a matchday]. He’s too young,” he said.

“JJ’s doing really well. We’ve got some really good players in the academy and we try and get the younger players up [with the main group] as much as we can.”

He added: “We’re always trying to give them (academy prospects) that exposure. JJ is a big talent, it is pretty obvious and he has had a good season for the Under-18s. We think an awful lot of him.

“But patience is important in managing everything that comes with that and developing him and picking the right moment to step up, to leave them in a certain place. He’s trained well and it is good to have young players up.”

Manchester United starlet JJ Gabriel appears to be destined for a great future, but only if he heeds the advice of those who came before him

JJ Gabriel already carries a great deal of pressure on his shoulders despite being just 15 years of age.

Luckily for him, the Manchester United wonderkid is at a club which has developed a plethora of other talents in the past, allowing them to go from academy prospects to genuine world beaters. Gabriel is currently one of the most exciting youngsters at Carrington, having been a revelation for the Under-18s this season despite his tender age.

He has even been called up to train with the first-team by Michael Carrick and his predecessor Ruben Amorim this season. However, the London-born forward will have to stay patient before earning his first minutes under Carrick, given he is ineligible to play Premier League or Premier League 2 football until next season.

And while there is no doubting his quality, there are certain traits Gabriel still needs to develop and rules he needs to adhere to in order to guarantee his inclusion in the first team, just as the likes of David Beckham, Paul Scholes, Marcus Rashford and Kobbie Mainoo did before him.

The Manchester Evening News now takes a look at some of the lessons some past United greats have shared, which will help the highly-rated teenager reach his true potential and enjoy a stellar career.

Roy Keane

Former United captain Roy Keane previously explained how a player, even one as gifted as Gabriel, cannot be labelled world class unless they manage to play at a consistently high level for many years. Keane lifted almost every trophy there was to win during his time as skipper and will know very well what it takes to be a world class player.

The pundit believes very few of his former team-mates managed to reach those heights due to a lack of consistency – a crucial lesson for Gabriel if he ever hopes to become a world class player himself.

The Irishman used his former team-mate Ryan Giggs as an example, saying: “If I look back now, you’d have to class Giggsy. I always class the world-class players as lads who were doing it for nine, 10, 11 [years] – obviously, Giggsy’s done it for a lot longer. To me, that’s the key to being a really good player: you’ve got to be consistent.”

Ryan Giggs

Giggs himself has explained what it takes to make it through the United academy and become a star previously, by recalling his own journey and mindset. The Welshman, who has more Premier League titles than any other player in history, came through the ranks with the famous Class of ‘92, who each went on to become important first-team players.

The winger revealed the key trait that made each of them successful was a fire in their belly to win and to constantly improve. He recalled how he and his young team-mates were so competitive on the training ground that they often played on the edge of what could be deemed acceptable.

“When I was growing up in the youth team literally I would do anything to win a five-a-side game, against my best friends in Nicky Butt, Paul Scholes, we’d be kicking each other and if you lost it would be with you for the rest of the day and this is the day before the game, an eight-minute, nine-minute five-a-side game,” Giggs told beIN SPORTS.

“Whereas in my experience now you see players coming off and they’ve just lost a small-sided game and they’re laughing and joking and I’m like ‘you’ve just lost a game’. Even if it doesn’t mean anything, it’s that winning mentality and doing anything you can to win.

“My youth team coach, Eric Harrison, I can’t remember him giving free-kicks. He would just let you get on with it, you don’t want injuries but he wanted that will to win and he wanted that feeling you’d take into the Saturday. Maybe that’s taken away from the players a little bit now, but you have to find that winning mentality from within somehow. Sir Alex was the master of mind games and psychology.”

Gary Neville

Gary Neville has perhaps been the most outspoken about what it takes for an academy youngster to break into the first team at United. The former right-back even created a list of 14 key bits of advice for young players to adhere to, which used to hang in the academy changing room.

Neville’s list was made up of the following commandments:

1. Choose who you follow.

2. Give 100 per cent all the time. You have never arrived at Manchester United so you must maintain a high standard all the time, every day.

3. Always remember why you began to play football — you loved it for its own sake and not as a means to get money, fame, girls, cars etc.

4. Ownership and responsibility — take care of your own affairs thus learning to do things for yourself, and not relying on others to do things for you: bank accounts, passports and so on. Make your own decisions!

5. Analyse and assess your own performance — be your own coach.

6. Have a strong work ethic — work harder than anyone else and you’ll overtake players with far more talent than you have.

7. Give the profession all that you have got, and you’ll have no regrets.

8. You have to have character and personality to play for Manchester United which you can develop over time.

9. Be a risk taker because it is a different kind of leadership.

10. Success and failure are two sides of the same coin, and you have to deal emotionally with both experiences. Remember that if you win or lose you can still have that Chinese on a Saturday night — keep things in perspective.

11. Learn more about yourself and what works for you.

12. Don’t leave anything to chance.

13. There are different routes to reach the top and very few players go ‘route one’ — like Giggs or [Wayne] Rooney. The challenge for you is to find the right pathway because we’re all different.

14. The ability to deal/cope with injuries is vital and should be approached with a strong mentality. See injury as an opportunity to develop body strength, and ‘reset’ your mind (refresh) for the various challenges ahead.

Manchester United youth star JJ Gabriel continues to impress for the Under-18s while he is made to wait for a first-team chance

Manchester United are benefiting from a weekend break following their early exit from the FA Cup. The 2024 winners were knocked out by Brighton in the third round, whilst top-four rivals Liverpool and Chelsea have both faced additional fixtures to put extra miles in their legs.

Michael Carrick’s squad also have no midweek commitments, having missed out on European qualification this season thanks to their Europa League final defeat. This means that by the time they take on Aston Villa on March 15, they’ll have enjoyed more than a week without a match.

Victory over Unai Emery’s side could prove pivotal in the race for Champions League football. United and Villa are tied on points in third and fourth positions respectively, with Chelsea trailing the duo by just three points and Liverpool still in the mix.

Whatever unfolds between now and May has a chance of significantly influencing United’s managerial strategy and transfer activity. Here are the latest developments from around Old Trafford.

Gabriel continues scoring streak

Manchester United prodigy JJ Gabriel delivered another standout performance on Saturday. The youngster was on target twice as United’s Under-18s thrashed Nottingham Forest, making the case for a first team chance when he becomes eligible to play Premier League football next season.

Gabriel’s opener arrived eight minutes before the interval when his strike from distance appeared to catch a deflection en route to the top corner. His second goal was even better with the teenager giving Forest defenders short shrift before bending a shot high beyond the goalkeeper’s reach.

Jay McEvoy, Louie Bradbury and Noah Ajayi were also on the scoresheet in a 5-2 victory for Darren Fletcher’s side. Gabriel has now netted 16 times in 18 league matches this campaign despite only celebrating his 15th birthday in October.

Luis Enrique backed

Former Manchester United defender Patrice Evra has heaped praise on Luis Enrique. The Paris Saint-Germain manager is amongst those who have been touted for the Old Trafford position should Michael Carrick not be handed the role on a permanent basis, although he could still choose to prolong his tenure in France.

“Luis Enrique would be a dream coach for Man United,” Evra told Stake as he offered his assessment of the ex-Spain and Barcelona boss. “I love the man, I love his philosophy, what he went through in his personal life and overcame it shows his personality.

“The job he’s done at PSG by bringing them a Champions League without Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe or Neymar, it’s a fantastic job. Players would have to work really hard to play for Man United, they’ll have to run a lot and I think Enrique would bring that.”

PSG have a big test against English opposition in midweek as they take on Chelsea in the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 clash. They prepared for the game with defeat, though, losing at home to Monaco on Friday night.

Kai Rooney, 16, has already played at Old Trafford as he aims to follow his father Wayne into the Man United first team

Manchester United prospect Kai Rooney has already outlined the scale of his ambitious targets. The teenager, son of legendary United forward Wayne, previously stated he aspired to be a regular fixture for the first team at Old Trafford within the next decade.

Kai, 16, has developed into one of United’s most promising talents in recent years. Much like his father, he is a prolific forward whose main strength lies in his goalscoring ability.

The youngster has recently moved into a right-wing position and made his first competitive appearance at Old Trafford in the FA Youth Cup. He is even eligible to feature for the first team this season, though he doesn’t look especially close after he missed much of the first half of the campaign through injury.

Speaking in 2023, he discussed the scope of his goals should he progress to elite level football. He demonstrated that, despite his footballing pedigree, he isn’t expecting things to be handed to him on a plate and is prepared to work tirelessly and commit fully to realising his aspirations.

“In 10 years, hopefully I will be playing in the Premier League for Man United,” the youngster said. “That’s where I see myself but I’ve got to make it happen with the hard work and everything behind the scenes.

“I could play on the wing as well, but I’m mainly a striker that scores goals,” he said while representing Manchester Grammar Schools during an international tournament in 2023. “That’s what I’ve got to keep doing to win the tournament.

“I’m quite pleased with my performances. Obviously, I could have been better, but generally, I think that I have been quite good.”

Coming anywhere near matching his father’s achievements will be no simple task. Wayne found the net 253 times to become United’s all-time leading scorer, but Kai has displayed promising signs of his ability at age-group level.

During the 2021/22 season with United’s Under-12s, Kai racked up 56 goals and provided 28 assists in a single campaign. This means he was directly involved in 84 goals over the course of the year.

Earlier this month, he netted four times for United’s U16s, and his displays have also secured him multiple appearances with the U18 squad, despite being younger than the majority of his team-mates.

“He’s enjoying it,” his father Wayne told The Athletic in July 2023. “That’s the most important thing. He’s doing everything he can to try to have a career in football and not just him, my other children as well.

“They love the game and my advice – to any children – is play to enjoy. There’s that much pressure when you do get to the professional level and sometimes you forget why you’re playing the game.

“You’re playing because you love playing the game and you enjoy playing the game. As long as you’re doing everything right to give yourself the best opportunity then you never know.”

Representing Liverpool Schoolboys, Wayne once netted 72 goals in a single season in his teens – a record that stood for nearly 20 years.

At just nine years old, playing for Copplehouse boys’ club in the Walton and Kirkdale junior league, he bagged 99 goals during the 1994/95 campaign. That remarkable goalscoring run caught the eye of Everton scout Bob Pendleton, who brought him to the Merseyside club.

Following his arrival at Everton’s academy, the goals continued to come. In 1995/96, featuring for both the club’s U10 and U11 sides, Wayne racked up an astonishing 114 goals in just 29 matches before eventually breaking into the first team at 16 and later going on to sign for United.
