Jim Ratcliffe, the co-owner of Manchester United, has acknowledged that the club’s youth academy is not performing as it should.
“Our academy’s performance has declined. It needs to be producing a steady stream of talented players, which also benefits the club financially. However, this is not a quick fix that can be solved overnight. We have recently hired a new academy director,” Ratcliffe was quoted as saying by Times Sport.
After seven matches, Manchester United is currently in tenth place in the English Premier League table. The team is scheduled to play an away game against Liverpool on October 19.
