Manchester United coaching staff have been encouraged by the improvements made by Ugandan youngsters tied to the Proline Soccer Academy.

It's been five months since the PSA players had time at both United and West Ham in England.

United Academy chairman John Shields, who is on a four-day working visit alongside Man Utd Academy director Anthony Whelan, told the Daily Monitor: "When they played in England, you could see a group of players with all the enthusiasm to learn. These players are certainly getting better especially with their ball skills."

Whelan and Shields are visiting Proline at the invitation of Proline director Mujib Kasule and patron Julian Ferdinand, also father of Premiership stars Rio and Anton of Man Utd and Sunderland respectively.
