Ancelotti wants Chelsea to follow Man Utd lead for youth success

Carlo Ancelotti wants Chelsea to take a leaf out of Manchester United's book and develop their own talent.

Having seen Manchester United develop their own talent effectively though the Premier League era, the Italian hopes to see Chelsea do the same.

"We want to have the same philosophy," he told chelseafc.com. "It is the philosophy of the club, I am involved in this philosophy and I agree with this philosophy, I want to bring players up from the Academy. I have a lot of experience and it is good to work with the young players because you can teach a lot of things.

"We have to have courage and everyone has to support these young players, maybe we take a risk, we put them in the squad in maybe important games but we have to take this risk."

After winning the FA Youth Cup last season, as well as having five youngsters make first team debuts, the future certainly looks bright at Stamford Bridge.

"We want to put maybe three or four players through this year. We have Van Aanholt, Bruma, Kakuta, Borini and they have to improve but we have to be patient with them," he explained.
