Manchester United: Five things the Red Devils need to do to return to glory

#4 Invest in youth

Manchester United need to unearth more talents like Mason Greenwood

Manchester United were synonymous with youth prodigies over the years. The Red Devils had built a legacy by putting their trust in youth since the days of Sir Matt Busby. The blueprint of United's success under Ferguson was the legendary manager’s preference for a strong youth set-up at the club. The United academy was one of the best in the world, as was the scouting network. The Red Devils were able to spot and lure the best young talents of the world into the club, where they were nurtured to become world-beaters. Unfortunately that has been missing in the last few years.

Many clubs have a better-performing youth academy than Manchester United right now. Manchester City and Liverpool have overtaken the Red Devils in their attention to youth and have a better scouting network at the moment. Even Chelsea, a club not previously known for nurturing young talents, is currently showcasing brilliant youngsters at the club. If United are to reach the top again, they must reinvest in youth and strive to make their academy among the best in the world once again.
