BUTT'S CHALLENGE FOR UNDER-19S

Nicky Butt has challenged his Under-19 side to do what Manchester United have previously failed to do in the UEFA Youth League - qualify for the knockout stages.

This is the third time the Reds have entered the competition and, despite including several players who have gone on to make their mark in the first team, a top-two finish has eluded the club in the groups. And even though the Reds lost 2-1 to Basel last time out, victory over CSKA Moscow at Leigh Sports Village will be enough to ensure at least a place in the play-offs.

Basel are two points clear in Group A, ahead of their fixture with Benfica, and only top place guarantees a place in the knock-outs. The second-placed sides travel to meet a side from the domestic champions path in a one-off encounter to decide the eight remaining clubs to complete the round of 16.

"This is vital for our lads," Butt told MUTV. "I've told them it's a great competition to be in. I've taken a team in it three times and we've not got through yet, for one reason or another.

"We've had good teams - Axel [Tuanzebe], Marcus [Rashford], Scott [McTominay] and James Wilson have all been in the teams that have not gone through. The challenge is now on for these boys.

"Unfortunately, we failed in Basel but we have another chance to do that [qualify] and, hopefully, they will learn from their mistakes. The biggest piece of advice I can give them is they can't just fall asleep, come out and expect to play football.

"You've got to prepare yourself right, train the day before, watch the videos and really concentrate on things like set-pieces. We don't have any real chance to coach them so they can learn it, we have to say: 'This is what you do, this is the visual'. Take your Under-18 and Under-23 performances of late and, unfortunately, they didn't do that in Switzerland.

"I'm not asking for unbelievable combination plays because we don't play or train together, but I do expect us to keep possession a lot better than we did last time out."

BUTT: UNDER-19S WERE 'PRETTY FLAWLESS'

Manchester United's Head of Academy Nicky Butt was delighted with his Under-19s' performance in the 4-0 win over Valencia in the UEFA Youth League but delivered a warning to his youngsters.

The Reds were in dominant mood at Leigh Sports Village as, after leading at the break through Josh Bohui's accurate finish, three further goals were added in a stunning second-half showing. Mason Greenwood, Tahith Chong and substitute Millen Baars all found the net against the Spanish side to set things up nicely for the upcoming double header with Juventus in Group H.

Yet Butt felt his players dropped their intensity during a spell in the first half and believes that would lead to real punishment later in the competition, if United can progress.

“I thought it was a good performance,” Butt told MUTV. “We started off well, we were quick and aggressive like wanted, as we were keen to get against them. We knew they were good technically and good on the ball so we had to get into their faces early doors, which we did.

”In the middle 20 minutes of it, I thought we were poor. We sat back and let them back into it. We did what we didn't want to do - let them have time on the ball, which is what they are good at. In the last 10 minutes of the half, we came back into it. I told them at half-time to get on the front foot and we were pretty flawless in the second half really, right through it.

“It was really good attacking play with good goals and good rotations in midfield, with crisp passing, and we were aggressive to win the ball back when we lost it. Overall, it was a good performance. We try for perfection and, if we want to go far in the competition, which we do, I told them they can't have a 20-minute collapse and lose the plan as we'll get defeated.”

Juventus are up next, with the home game again being staged at Leigh on 23 October, and, with the Italians also enjoying two wins out of two in the group, it should be a fascinating encounter against the Bianconeri's teenagers.

“It's another challenge and it's great for the kids,” added Butt. “Experience against big clubs they've watched from a young age play against the first team.

”They won again so we have a big test but it's something we can hopefully rise to. It should be a good football game but the most important thing for our lads is development. If you develop and win, it's ideal, but you don't always get that.

“We want to win and go a long way in the competition but the most important thing is to develop them into first-team players, who can play in the Champions League.”

There is free entry for all spectators at Leigh Sports Village for UEFA Youth League matches.

OPPORTUNITIES COULD BE AROUND THE CORNER

Manchester United's Head of Academy Nicky Butt believes opportunities will arise for his Under-19s players to follow Tahith Chong's lead in obtaining a senior call-up.


The young Reds were outstanding in scoring four goals for the second successive match in the UEFA Youth League, with Juventus defeated 4-1 on the back of the 4-0 success over Valencia at Leigh Sports Village. It was another exciting display by the team, particularly without one of the key men in Chong, who was on the first-team bench for the evening encounter against Juve in the Champions League at Old Trafford.

Chong's elevation may have been just reward for his efforts but Butt is convinced others can hope to push on as well, if they take on board his messages about keeping their foot on the gas. Such was the level of perfomance against the Bianconeri's Under-19s, there were many positive displays in front of the crowd of 1,352. Josh Bohui, Mason Greenwood, James Garner and substitute Dylan Levitt supplied the goals but the coach was thrilled with the overall outlook.

“Chongy has done really well and been one of the stand-out players when he’s played at this level,” Butt told MUTV. “He’s gone up with the first team today [Tuesday] and I said to the lads at half-time there is no better time to go and be a footballer at Manchester United.

”There is room for them to go and play there as it’s a club that really insists on youngsters going up through the Academy and playing in the first team. The club demands it, the fans certainly demand it and the board demand it. I said that at half-time, there is no reason why three or four of them couldn’t be up in the next squad.

”It’s why they need to do well here and not take their foot off the pedal but keep driving and driving. It’s easy for me to say it as an older man who is now retired as, when I was young, I probably did the same thing. But it’s really important to keep giving them the message that, when it gets easy, it’s not the time to take your foot off the pedal.

“You’ve got to keep going and the reason why is because, if not, you let teams back into the game. Also you never know who’s watching. You never know when your next opportunity is coming. It might be around the corner for one or two of those players in that dressing room.”

Butt believes it is a squad game at this level and all about developing young footballers, a factor helped by the ability to make five substitutions in this season's UEFA Youth League tournament. He has also managed to fit a number of attacking players into his line-up, with captain Angel Gomes performing at the base of what appeared to almost be a diamond formation to allow Aliou Traore, Chong's replacement from the previous win over Valencia, to operate just behind striker Greenwood.

Not only did Garner provide a box-to-box display in midfield but Bohui and Aidan Barlow kept attacking from out wide with full-back Ethan Laird, in particular, contributing many goals and assists this term for the Under-18s and Under-19s. With the substitutes contributing, as against Valencia, the whole situation looks rosy at present.

“It's a good way [to do it],” Butt said of the ability to make more substitutions. “It works that you can only do it at three separate times in the game because it stops timewasting. It means you tend to get the players on and the lads need experience.

“It's development football, you must keep remembering that. We like to win, Manchester United is about winning things, but it's more about developing players. If they're going to sit on the bench, you are not giving them minutes and not developing them all. The lads understand that it's a squad game. If we're winning, and doing so well, we brought off probably one of the best players on the park in Ethan Laird.

”He came off and that doesn't usually happen except in development football. He's done his bit and comes off so Brandon [Williams] went on and had 12-15 minutes and did well. Arnau [Puigmal] did well as he has in the past and [Aliou] Traore has come in and got his starting pace today so I was really pleased with how it works.

“Angel has got the ability to play pretty much anywhere. He's a footballer so everyone automatically thinks he's an attacker but we like him in the pivot role to set up play and get the ball moving. He keeps possession and, in European football, keeping the ball is massive. If you don't keep possession in the middle of the park, it's going to be a struggle.

”He did that, along with Jimmy, really well and we had Aliou at the point of the midfield as we knew his power and pace would cause problems. He did that and pretty much every single player on the pitch put in a good performance.

“Again, the lads came on from the bench,” added Butt. “I've mentioned a couple of times now but certainly in meetings, they've been amazing when they have come on.

”They kicked us on again when we got a bit sloppy and injected pace and power and created goals. As I've said in there [the changing room], it's a squad game and we could have a lot of players who are missing the next five or six games. Chongy has gone up with the first team and we have more injured. George Tanner was unfortunately suspended [after his red card in the Under-23s' win over Sunderland] and he could struggle to get back in now but it's a squad game and they have all got to keep going and playing well.

“They must keep the pace and it's very healthy to have that kind of challenge in the squad.”

United's next UEFA Youth League outing is at Juventus as the team strives to keep the 100 per cent run going on 7 November.

Manchester United face huge challenge to restore themselves as the biggest club in the city, says academy coach Nicky Butt

* Man United were beaten 3-1 by Man City in the derby on Sunday afternoon
* City's impressive performance underlined the gulf between the two rivals
* Pep Guardiola's side are top of the Premier League, while United are in eighth
* United academy manager Nicky Butt admits the club may struggle to bridge gap


Manchester United's academy manager Nicky Butt has admitted the club face a tough challenge to reassert themselves above Manchester City as 'the biggest club in the country but also in the city.'

The widening gulf between the two rivals was evident on Sunday when City comfortably beat United 3-1 at the Etihad Stadium to continue their unbeaten start to the Premier League season.

Pep Guardiola's stylish side are currently 12 points ahead of United, who languish down in eighth as Jose Mourinho struggles to find their best form.


Nicky Butt says the club face an uphill challenge to catch their neighbours Manchester City

And Butt, who won six Premier League titles and the Champions League during his time at Old Trafford, is realistic about the scale of the challenge now facing United.

'Every now and again you come up against a team that are too good for you,' Butt said at the Premier Sports Network event in London.

'It happened to us when we were a team that were wanting to do well in Europe. We came up against a team, Juventus, that were superior to us, and they'd beat us every time we played them.

'So every now and again you have got to hold your hands up and say they are a better team than us, [have] better players than us, and are too good for every team in the Premier League, to be honest. They are as good as any team in Europe.

Anyone who had a bit of common sense knew it was going to be a very difficult game on Sunday and that we had our work cut out, and that every single player had to be at the top of their game to get a result off that team.

'It wasn't to be. They were a much better team on the day.

'For Manchester United now we have got a challenge on to get back to where we want to be, which is the biggest club in the country, but also in the city.

'So that challenge is for the owners, the board, the manager and the club in general to be where we want to be. And, to be honest, we have got a challenge on our hands to get there.'

United return to action following ther international break with a home game against Crystal Palace on November 24.

REDS LOOKING FOR NEXT RASHFORD, LINGARD OR POGBA

Manchester United may have successfully integrated youth-team products into our senior squad but Head of Academy Nicky Butt says the search is on for the next Marcus Rashford, Jesse Lingard or Paul Pogba.

A study by Press Association Sport found that in terms of giving Premier League playing time to products of their own Academy in 2017/18, United ranked second in the division (6,858 minutes) for a second successive season. Also, as in 2016-17, the Reds could boast the Academy that had made the greatest contribution with regard to players who got minutes across the top-flight (20 players, 32,157 minutes).

The statistics are proof that the system is continuing to work but there is little chance of the club resting on our laurels as the aforementioned trio compete for places in Jose Mourinho's side, along with the likes of Scott McTominay and Andreas Pereira.

Butt, who came through the United ranks himself, is acutely aware of the need to keep developing and promoting our own talent, with several of the Under-19s team he coaches already catching the eye and gaining senior experience on last summer's tour of the US.

“They [Rashford, Lingard and Pogba] are the shining examples of our Academy,“ Butt told Press Association Sport. “They are young boys who came through the ranks here. Marcus and Jesse are local boys who know the area, are Man United fans and I'm sure their families are as well.

“We're really proud and privileged to have them playing for us, and playing for their country and doing so well, but we've also got to look for the next ones. We can't just stand still and say: 'We have done well, they are going to be in the team for the next five, six, seven years', because it's never a given.

“We have to keep striving to get the next one – where's the next Jesse, the next Marcus, the next Pogba, when you can bring them in from abroad? That is our challenge as a club, that's our challenge as a scouting department.”

“The last 18 months, it has been amazing for us,“ he added. ”We are very happy with our Academy. I think we are the biggest and the best one and we don't shout about it enough.

“We do it our way, and our way has been acknowledged and recognised as the best.”

Butt's side clinched top spot in Group H of the UEFA Youth League with a 6-2 demolition of Young Boys at Leigh Sports Village on Tuesday. The final fixture of the section is in Valencia but the Reds are already safely through to the last 16 of the competition.

'He has brought a smile with him': Nicky Butt hails Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's impact at Manchester United and backs former team-mate to be in charge for a 'long, long time'

* Nicky Butt has been impressed by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Man United
* The two were team-mates under Sir Alex Ferguson and Butt has hailed Solskjaer
* Since coming in, the Norwegian has won his first seven matches as manager
* Academy chief Butt also praised Solskjaer for using the club's young players


Nicky Butt has been impressed by the impact made at Manchester United by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and hopes his former team-mate is in charge for a 'long, long time'.

With the side struggling under Jose Mourinho, the Old Trafford giants acted and brought in the 1999 treble hero as caretaker manager for the remainder of the 2018-19 season.

Solskjaer has enjoyed a record-breaking start to life in the hot seat, overseeing victories in his first seven matches in all competitions as United closed the gap on the Premier League top four.


Manchester United interim manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been hailed by Nicky Butt. The 1999 Treble-winner has revitalised United since taking over following Jose Mourinho's exit

Butt knows the Norwegian well from their playing days and has been impressed by his work behind the scenes in his role as head of the club's academy.

'He's come in and, Ole being Ole, he has brought a smile with him,' Butt said.

'He knows the club, which is massively important for me, and what he's done is come here and just said to everybody "go and enjoy playing for Man United, go and be the luckiest boys on the planet to go and play on that pitch".

'He felt like that when he was a player and he's trying to introduce that to the players now and it's worked.

'But he's also got a little bit of a ruthless streak. I don't think you can be as successful as Ole Gunnar if you've not got that. He had a dream to become a football manager after his playing career and he worked hard at it.

'He went back home to work coaching there, he had his time with Cardiff and he's gone back to Norway again.

'This opportunity has come and I know he's delighted to have that. I spoke to him on many occasions and I also know that he's going to take it with both hands and try and grab hold of that for as long as he can and hopefully it'll be a long, long time.'

Solskjaer's deep understanding of United has shaped his work over the last month, meaning more young talent is getting the chance to be around the first team.


Butt, who coaches United's Under 19s in the UEFA Youth League, has backed Solskjaer to stay

Tahith Chong made his debut against Reading in the FA Cup and 18-year-old Angel Gomes has been involved, while 17-year-olds James Garner and Mason Greenwood have been around the camp.

Butt, who coaches United's Under-19s in the UEFA Youth League, was preparing to loan out some of those players, but Solskjaer's arrival has led to a rethink.

'Plans change,' the head of academy said at the announcement that David Beckham was joining him and the other 'Class of 92' members in taking a 10 per cent stake in Salford City.

'A new manager comes in and he has a say. I think he's got a massive say in what happens. What we had previously was we had plans to get two or three of them out on loan because there wasn't looking like to be a chance for them to go up.

'So, the natural thing is not to sit about playing reserves team football for too long - go out on loan and experience men's football.

'The dynamics have changed now because the two or three lads that were going to go out on loan are now being involved in the training camps, involved in training, on the bench, in the squad.

'The dynamics have totally changed, so it's now another conversation with the boys, their parents and the agents and seeing what is best for them lads.

'It might be stay around now and take your chance if it is given. It's all good for me saying 'go out and do men's football' but you've got to look at Marcus Rashford. He had one chance of sitting on the bench and he becomes a superstar from taking that chance. It's a really tricky one now so more discussions.'

BUTT: OPPORTUNITIES WILL COME UNDER OLE

Manchester United's new head of first-team development Nicky Butt firmly believes first-team opportunities will arise for the club's youngsters during the course of the 2019/20 season.

Four Academy members made their mark during Tour 2019 for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side - James Garner, Angel Gomes, Tahith Chong and Mason Greenwood - but former Reds midfielder Butt believes there are more in the system also pushing for a chance at senior level further down the line.

Solskjaer and his coaching team are strong advocates of the youth already within the club and the boss has already hinted he will look to inject some fresh blood into his squads in the Europa League group stage.

“It’s amazing for the players to go on pre-season and the experience they get from that alone is invaluable really,” Butt told MUTV recently.

“When you go away, you see it. You know how big the club is but you never know until you go on tour as that’s when you realise what a big club it is worldwide. You get in part of a bubble here and are immune to that fact when you’re involved with United, whether it’s as a coach or a player. You’re in a cocoon, a bubble and it feels like a nice, little working-class small club, if you like.

”It’s only when you go out there you actually realise it is the biggest club in the world with a lot of fans there. You’re representing a lot of people when you play football and people genuinely want to hear from you. They speak to you and listen to what you’ve got to say about football.

“It’s a chance for all the players to impress the manager. There’s a chance every time you play or even train with the team, every day is a chance to get into the first-team squad, whether or not it’s an EFL Trophy or Europa League game, a friendly in pre-season or just training.

”Hopefully, it will be at Old Trafford in the Premier League. That’s a chance to go and impress and you have got to take that chance. You’re not going to go in there and cement a place straight away. But you can put a little seed in the mind about yourself and what sort of character you are and the kind of player you can become.

“All the players there and it’s not only the four who went away, there are others who have all got a chance because the thing about Ole, Kieran [McKenna], Michael [Carrick] and Mike [Phelan] is they know the players. Certainly, Kieran was coaching them so they know all our players and it helps.”

Solskjaer handed senior debuts to Chong, Garner and Greenwood last season and, with many challenges on the horizon at home and abroad, there will be others looking to follow in their footsteps.

Butt has stepped into his new role after previously being the club's Head of Academy.

'They're exciting players': Nicky Butt says Manchester United have a lot of talent coming through from the academy but urges fans to 'have patience' with their young starlets

* Manchester United devlopment chief Nicky Butt praised the club's young talents
* The former midfielder urged fans to stay patient with the exciting youngsters
* Butt was part of successful 'Class of 92' crop of United academy graduates
* Mason Greenwood one of several graduates to feature for first team this season


Manchester United's development chief Nicky Butt has urged fans to remain patient with the club's young talent as the likes of 'unbelievable' Mason Greenwood attempt to make headway during a transitional period for the Red Devils.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side have endured a tough start to the 2019-20 season, although Sunday's 1-1 draw against Champions League holders Liverpool showed light at the end of the tunnel.

Among the handful of positives in the opening months have been the opportunities afforded to academy graduates. Brandon Williams recently made his debut and James Garner has been around the squad, while fellow teenagers Tahith Chong, Angel Gomes and Greenwood have played multiple times.

Greenwood last week signed improved and extended terms with United having netted in two of his three starts this season, but Butt has pleaded for fans to remain patient.

'They're very exciting players,' Butt, United's head of first team development, said.

'We're all excited about these young boys and there's probably another four or five in the background that are slowly going to come up behind them.

'Hopefully more behind that and more behind that, but they're only babies and young at the minute.

'But, for me, it's difficult to bring in a lot of players into a team that's not firing on all cylinders, if you like.'

Butt, 44, knows a thing or two about successfully coming through the ranks at Old Trafford.

He was part of the 'Class of 92' group of home-grown youngsters, along with the likes of David Beckham, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and the Neville brothers, who would go on to help United enjoy a remarkable period of success under Sir Alex Ferguson.


Brandon Williams, 19, made his debut during United's promising 1-1 draw with Liverpool

'A lot was made when we came through. It was nothing to do with us as players,' Butt said.

'We were just good players, we were playing with world-class players who were superstars, who were men, who were leaders, who were winning trophies, winning leagues, getting to FA Cup finals every single year.

'We went into a team like that, so you've got to be careful and I am not talking for Ole because he knows exactly what I am talking about, he went through it himself here.

'You have to be careful when you put these players in because if they get too much expectation on their shoulders at an early age, a few bad games can see them fall by the wayside.

'We know ourselves as adults. When you get rejection as a young teenager, whether it be football, girls doesn't fancy you or something happens at college, you fail your driving licence, it's like the end of the world.

'So, can you imagine playing in front of 76,000, having a bad game and getting beat 4-0 and you're reading the paper - because they all read papers and obviously now it's social media - and you get a bit of stick on there? It can kill them.

'I genuinely do believe that we have some really, really top talent but my concern would be putting too much weight on their shoulders at this moment in time, which might have to happen because of injuries or suspensions or whatever goes on in the squad dynamic.'


Butt believes academy graduates Paul Pogba and Jesse Lingard can help the current crop. Marcus Rashford is another academy graduate who is now a first team regular at United

United have a long history of bringing through young talent, with a study by the PA news agency showing that no Premier League club gave more minutes to their academy graduates last season.

Asked if established players like Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard, Marcus Rashford and Scott McTominay can aid the current crop, Butt said: 'Yeah, they can. They can play a big role by going on the pitch and performing.

'But at this club, you have to perform week in, week out, every single week, in front of 76,000, twice a week.

'It's very, very difficult and the message we want to give as an academy and as a club is, yeah, Mason Greenwood, if you want to use his name, he looks like an unbelievable, talented boy, which he is.

'But the word 'boy' is what he is, and we have just to as a fanbase and supporters be patient with these boys.'

Solskjaer says Greenwood is one of the best finishers he has ever seen - high praise from United's treble-sealing striker, whose work with United's young talent has been a positive from his topsy-turvy reign to date.

'He's really approachable and he knows the club inside out,' Butt said of his former team-mate Solskjaer. 'He knows what it takes to be a footballer here.

'Even though he wasn't an academy member, he come as a very young boy over here and was lost and didn't know what to do and embraced the club and ended up becoming one of the family, if you like.

'A big thing about that is the connection between the staff. In fairness to all the managers we've had over the years, they've always helped the academy.

'Some obviously are easier to approach than others because of personal connections and we're fortunate at the minute that Ole is in the hotseat.

'He's coached in the academy, he did his coaching badges with academy players, with academy coaches, so he knows pretty much everybody right down to the Under-12s in the club.

'And that can only be beneficial. We're very, very lucky to have someone like Ole in charge. It makes our job certainly a lot easier.'

Default Re: Nicholas "Nicky" Butt

'You can judge me in hopefully two or three years time when we're winning titles': Nicky Butt opens up on developing Manchester United's next first-team hopefuls and delivering the club back to the top of English football

* Nicky Butt is currently the head of first-team development at Manchester United
* Butt was part of the Class of 92', United's most famous generation of youths
* He says one of the most difficult things is managing expectations of young stars


Nicky Butt has reached the point in the conversation where reality bites.

Butt has been talking about the development of Manchester United’s academy players. How not all of them can become superstars on £200,000-a-week. How success can still be judged by their achievements at other clubs, like the United graduates who helped Leicester City win the Premier League title in 2016. How he would be proud to see his own son make it as a footballer in League One.

And Butt is right. It’s impossible for every boy – or girl – to go all the way to the top at United, or anywhere else for that matter. In his job as head of first-team development, and his previous role in charge of the club’s academy, he knows what it is like to manage young players and the expectations that surround them.


Nicky Butt has spoken at length about the development of Manchester United academy stars

The 45-year-old is not, he insists, a star-maker.

However, a member of United’s fabled Class of ’92, who won a Champions League, six Premier League titles and three FA Cups during a glittering career under Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford, Butt also knows the reality of his situation. He knows how he was judged then and how he will be judged now.

‘I think the peak of the mountain in my job is when Man United are where they should be – and will be again – and we’re still getting players into the first-team. That’s when you know you’re doing an unbelievable job,’ he says.

‘I think you can judge me and the people who develop for the first-team in hopefully two or three years when we’re winning titles and getting to the later stages of the Champions League.’

Development is Butt’s business now but it’s still hard to get away from the fact that, at some stage, it still comes down to winning. Winning games and winning trophies.

It is, he acknowledges, a reality that will dawn for United’s youngsters on Friday night when they play Wigan Athletic at Old Trafford for a place in the semi-finals of the FA Youth Cup. It is, after all, nine years since United won the prestigious competition with Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard and Ravel Morrison in their ranks.

‘We’ve not been this far for a while, but we’ve never really made that point to the kids,’ says Butt, who won it alongside David Beckham, Gary Neville and Ryan Giggs in 1992.

‘We always say it’s developing players and getting players to the first-team, which we do first and foremost. The Saturday games, you know, the league games, we don’t put a massive emphasis on winning every game.

‘It’s nice to win, but it’s a part of developing the players. Ultimately, to be a player at the club for a long time, you’ve got to win.

‘I think when it comes to the Youth Cup games, especially at Old Trafford, it’s a chance to say: “OK, developments put aside for one minute, just go and show us if you’re winners”.

‘Certainly for the kids from Manchester and the Man United fans, it’s their dream to play Old Trafford. I’m sure most of the boys in that team grew up loving the club and wanting to play there.

‘Every time you play there it’s a special moment and it’s getting closer to your dream of playing there with the first team. It gives you a feeling of what’s to come – or hopefully what’s to come.’

Butt knows there are no certainties at this stage of a player’s fledgling career. There are many factors that could hinder the path to the top. While the likes of Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood burst on the scene and hardly looked back, Jesse Lingard went out on loan to Leicester, Birmingham, Brighton and Derby before establishing himself as a first-team player at Old Trafford. Many others never get the opportunity.

‘I’m not going to name five or six players who could have a chance,’ says Butt. ‘Some are going to do what Mason or Marcus have done, some might go the Jesse way; going on loan five or six times and getting there. We do it purposely, putting them under the radar.


Some younger talents, such as Marcus Rashford, have made the jump straight to the first team. Butt believes Jose Mourinho got unfair stick for his treatment of United's younger talents. Butt says Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has a massive advantage as he knows the club inside out

‘It would be foolish to put them out there too soon because you don’t know what’s around the corner. They’re children. There is a long road to the first-team and big bumps.

‘What is a pathway for a young kid? There are experiences at school that knock them back: divorces, falling out with a girlfriend, silly things.

‘There’s no planning it, no crystal ball. As long as we can get them to the top of the mountain – and that top of the mountain might not be Man United.

‘It might be going and winning the title with Leicester – which four of our academy lads went and did, which is massive for this club. It might be going and playing League One, League Two or the Championship.

‘You’ve got some players coming in that, for whatever reason, aren’t going to get to Man United’s first-team. Is it a failure that they're going to play in the Championship or League One? No, it’s not.

‘I’ve got a son who’s mad on football and if he wanted to be a footballer and made it in League One, I’d be the proudest dad ever.

‘It’s not my job to make stars. Ultimately, it’s my job to make players for the first-team, there’s no getting away from it. But we have to also know everyone’s not going to get to the first-team. We’ve got to make them be good people that can go and play football, if that’s what they choose.

‘I say to parents, if you can get a job doing what you love, it’s not necessarily making £200,000-a-week and all that. Rather than going on a building site and working at six in the morning until six at night, it’s an amazing chance in your life.

‘Whatever the top of that mountain is and how you get there. It might be going all the way around the mountain and all the way up to the top, and that might be the Jesse way.

‘It might be Rashford, play two or three games and no looking back. There’s no problem to us in the academy how we get them there, the priority is getting them there.’

United’s record on that score can hardly be faulted. In December, the club celebrated the 4,000th consecutive game with a homegrown player in the matchday squad, and the academy influence has rarely been stronger.

Rashford, Lingard, Scott McTominay and Andreas Pereira have been joined by Greenwood, Brandon Williams, Axel Tuanzebe, Tahith Chong, Angel Gomes and James Garner this season.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has been credited with promoting youth as part of a ‘cultural reset’ at Old Trafford, although Butt believes that Jose Mourinho and Louis van Gaal deserve some credit too.

‘I honestly think that’s a bit unfair because I never had a problem with the other managers here before with the youth side of it,’ he adds. ‘Jose always had bad press for young players but was great with the young lads and me. The same with Van Gaal.

‘This club, no matter who’s in charge, develops players and that’s fundamental. I’m sure when a manager gets interviewed by Ed (Woodward) or the board, they get spoken to about that. That’s part and parcel of coming to the club.

‘It’s not changed in any way, we still put a massive emphasis on bringing the best talent into the club and developing them for the first-team.

‘It just happens that we’ve had a lot of debuts over the last two or three seasons. Off the top off my head, I’d guess 14, 15, 16 players.

‘But obviously with Ole knowing the club inside out and being here for a such a long time, it’s a massive help. Because you’re not trying to explain and make it a bigger deal because you know straightaway the minute he walks through the door he knows what’s expected of him. Obviously with the Sir Alex connection as well and Ole knowing the club it makes it 10 times easier.’


Adnan Januzaj could have been a world beater at United had he shared the same attitude. Butt insists that youth development isn't something he sees himself doing long-term

It was Ferguson who – rather forcibly – suggested that Butt do his coaching badges at a young age. It kept him out of mischief and meant he had something to turn to when a career that also brought 39 England caps, a six-year stint at Newcastle and brief spells with Birmingham and South China came to an end in 2011.

‘I didn’t see myself doing what I’m doing now. To be honest, I didn’t know what I wanted to do. I was just football, football, football,’ admits Butt.

‘Then when I was about 23 or 24 the manager had a pop at us for messing about in Manchester in the afternoon and wasting our time.

‘He said we may as well do our coaching badges. We all did it together. Roy Keane did it with us as well – Giggsy, Scholesy, Nev, Ole did it with us as well actually.

‘We did it in the afternoons and it was the best thing I did because it focussed your mind on something that you could do eventually without taking your mind off your job.’

Is it even harder for young players these days to focus on their careers, particularly with the distractions of social media? Butt doesn’t hold back in offering an opinion.

‘You don’t have to be on social media,’ he says. ‘I was sat next to Jesse a few months ago and did an interview over at the academy about the 4,000th game.

‘They were talking about social media and I said to Jesse: “You don’t have to be on social media – I’m not on it”. He started laughing.

‘The thing is, you don’t have to put yourself out there. You don’t have to read it. It’s harder for them if they’re on it. They’re constantly looking at bad things coming at them.

‘When I was a young lad coming through, yeah you got attention. When you went to Manchester shopping or for a bite to eat or a drink, you got hassle. But you could turn away from it and move out of the way.

‘It’s more difficult for them but in another 10 years something else will come along that will make it more difficult for the next ones.

‘Before us, the likes of Mark Hughes and Norman Whiteside, I’m sure they had a lot of problems coming through at this club as well.

‘No matter what era you come through or what social things you go through as a young person, it’s irrelevant to me, because if you’re playing for this club somewhere along the line you’re going to have to control what you listen to, what you don’t listen to, what you’re going to put yourself out there to do.

‘I always remember when we were coming through and Sir Alex said, “don’t be going to the opening of this film at the cinema – if you put yourself out there, you’re going to get attention”. Some people did it, they liked it and embraced it. Same with social media now, if you embrace it and like it and it’s part of your life, then deal with it. If you don’t, then don’t do it.’

Butt cites Adnan Januzaj’s failure to make it at United as his biggest regret since returning to the club to work with younger players, initially as a reserve-team coach. Januzaj, he says, could have been a ‘world superstar’ on a par with Giggs had he shared the same mentality.

But he finds his role rewarding, even though it wasn’t something he planned – and isn’t something he will necessarily continue to do in the long-term.

‘No, I don’t think I’ve found my niche,’ says Butt. ‘You fall into something. I fell into this, and I’m enjoying it. It’s amazing. I just want to be in football and whatever that brings. I’m happy in football.

‘I never expected to come into this kind of job, certainly at this club, but I was lucky enough to get a chance.

‘Since I’ve been here at the academy, seeing kids get to where they want to be in life is massive. But I never sat down and thought, “right, when I’ve finished football, I want to be in Man United’s academy for five, 10, 15 years”.

‘I never see it as I want to be a manager, I never see it as I want to stay in academy football all my life, or doing what I’m doing now all my life. I just know I need to get out of bed in the morning and I need to get to work and I need to work hard at something I like doing.

‘That’s me as a person and people are different. I was with Gary Neville this morning and he knows exactly what he’s going to be doing for the next 10 years. It’s obvious.

‘I don’t. Scholesey doesn’t. I’m the kind of person that if there’s a challenge that excites me I’ll take it on board and go at it 100 miles an hour. If I don’t, I’ll stop.’
