Man Utd youngster Tuanzebe: We're trying to become next Class of 92'

Axel Tuanzebe hopes Manchester United's new generation of footballers can emulate the famous Class of 92'.

Academy products Tuanzebe, Scott McTominay, Brandon William, Angel Gomes, James Garner and Mason Greenwood are bonafide first-team squad members under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

And Tuanzebe says they want to replicate the success of the likes of Ryan Giggs, David Beckham, the Neville brothers and Paul Scholes.

"It's just like the Class of 92, that's something we've been wanting to replicate," Axel told us. "This group of lads now that we have coming through, the oldest being Andreas [Pereira] and Scott [McTominay], the youngest being Angel [Gomes], Jimmy [James Garner], Brandon and Mase [Mason Greenwood], that bunch there can build the new foundation for the club.

"We have the club's identity installed in us. We help portray that identity to foreign players and help teach them the way of our club and to become better people, better players.

"It's something that's been the club's identity for many, many years and I'm sure there'll be more players to come through."
