Man Utd boss Ferguson will maintain youth policy

Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson is proud of the youth policy he's created.

Ferguson insists they will continue to develop their own talent at Old Trafford.

He told The Sun: "The first thing I did when I arrived at United was get a meeting with all the scouts. All we did was trial and trial and trial - bringing in boys from everywhere.

"We had to build a football club and we had to build it through young people. Bobby Charlton (left) was a great supporter.

"The most important thing is the care we give them.

"We do the educational thing, of course, but there's also that development of character that they have to go through and getting them to understand that football is not an easy job. It's a commitment."
