Manchester United are poised to win their 19th League title with a chilling assessment from boss Sir Alex Ferguson that there is a future generation waiting in the wings to carry on the Reds dominance. Continuous rotation of their playing staff has been the key to their success, with young talent drafted in to help cover the loss of ageing legs.
"Over the last decade, we've worked upon bringing young talent into the club, like, Wayne Rooney, Chicharito, Anderson and Nani, and we've brought all these players," said the legendary United boss.
"But that doesn't dismiss the fact that we like to produce our own young players and I think there are several players in the present youth team who are doing really well.
"The likes of Ryan Tunnicliffe and Ravel Morrison, you see some of them doing very, very well, so we're always going to put an emphasis on young players coming through from the youth team. That will always be the case.
"We've got some excellent young players of good ages, you know. Like, for instance, Chicharito, who is 22, Jonny Evans and Darron Gibson, who are 23, and Chris Smalling who's 21.
"So, yeah, we've got a good nucleus of young players in the club which gives you the foundation to be able to protect the future and know it's going to be alright."
