The Sun Exclusive: La Jue s comments anger parents of Manchester United youth players and make them consider leaving

Hupu, October 25th: The Sun’s chief reporter on Manchester United, Samuel Luckhurst, wrote an exclusive weekly report.

Manchester United academy staff and parents of the next generation of hopefuls are "confused" by Sir Jim Ratcliffe's recent comments. He claimed the standards of the club's famed youth academy had "really declined".

The billionaire minority owner blasted United's talent pipeline in a recent The Times podcast, saying it had fallen behind rivals such as Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal.

Just a few weeks ago, the results of a parent poll were announced at a player-parents evening.

Parents and guardians were told that 80% of them said they were satisfied with their children's journey at the club.

One parent told "The Sun": "Sir Jim Ratcliffe's comments do not represent parents' views on the club. His comments will only make some children and their parents upset.

He may even find that his comments mean that some families Court is starting to wonder if their children's future should be at other clubs

His comments are unhelpful and confusing as most people are happy at United they have access to a great stadium and they have opened a new parents' lounge. Room, children have access to the first team's state-of-the-art facilities for fitness and rehabilitation.

This is in sharp contrast to Sir Jim's remarks. Most parents say Sir Jim seems to have his own agenda, which is not true.

The coaches tried to stay positive and put on a brave face, but you could tell Sir Jim's comments hurt them. They didn't understand what he was talking about. "

After Nick Cox left Manchester United and became Everton's technical director, the club recently appointed Stephen Tope as the director of Manchester United's youth academy.

"The Sun" previously reported that last year, Sir Jim Sir's Ineos management informed some coaching staff that they would face layoffs on the first day of the season resumption, which made some coaching staff members and children cry.
