Manchester United is a club with a long tradition of developing young footballers. From the Busby Babes in the 1950s to the class of '92 under Sir Alex Ferguson, the club has a proven track record of producing home-grown talent. Times may have changed but the philosophy remains the same; to nurture young talent and turn them into first team and hopefully international footballers.

United's dedication to youth development runs throughout the whole club. From the first team to the Academy teams to our Manchester United Soccer Schools, all the coaching staff at Manchester United share the same vision; to coach players to produce high quality attacking and exciting football.

Our objective is for each individual to attain their optimum level of performance and benefit from being coached the ‘Manchester United Way'.

All activity is directed to the developmental age of the participant. Programmes will be challenging but achievable, guaranteeing that each child leaves our camp with a raised self esteem and most importantly having experienced fun and enjoyment.

The Manchester United Soccer Schools team are expert coaches. They have all been through a rigorous qualification and selection process in order to guarantee the quality of the coaching delivered to each and every player. They have experience of coaching children of all nationalities and abilities and in 2011 over 2000 children from more than 80 different countries attended a Manchester United Soccer Schools residential camp.
