Ryan Giggs says it is a prerequisite of the Manchester United Football Club to give young players a chance.
The Welshman has seen manager Louis van Gaal hand Premier League debuts to 20-year old defender Tyler Blackett and 19-year old Paddy McNair this season and suggests it is part and parcel of being involved in a club such as Unitedf.
"That's the philosophy of Manchester United, you always bring young exciting footballers through and the fans demand it and the club demands it," said van Gaal's assistant.
"Yeah, you spend money on world-class stars, but you also have young players coming through.
"Right from the Busby Babes right from before that, right up until now, you give youth a chance.
"That's what Manchester United have always done and will continue to do."
