Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs is happy seeing the club's academy continue to churn out top class talent.
A study conducted by Press Association Sport found that United's academy graduates last season racked up more top-flight minutes than players coming from any other system across the world.
"I think you have to go back to when Sir Alex first joined the club and overhauled the whole youth system," Giggs told Press Association Sport.
"He made sure there was a pathway for young, local players to get into the first team. From then on the youth system and that pathway to the first team has just got stronger and stronger, so when parents are picking a team for their son to go to and they want them to get to the first team, they pick United because you've seen over the years Man United give young players a chance.
"Then there is the coaching, the way they are looked after, the way first-team players look after the young players coming into the team. There's a number of reasons, but I think you have to go back 30 years ago to when it all started."
