Why are you trying to pretend Adnan is a youth player of United?...Blackett is the only true youth team player for United
if you are talking only about players in the first team, johnny evans, blackett, lingard, james wilson, darren fletcher are players who came from the united youth team, and there are plenty more in the reserves/academy who started at united. welbeck who just left started at united as a kid also.
Did any of the aforementioned players start at United when they were 13 or younger, apart from Blackett?
saying that a player doesn't count as a youth product unless they joined at 13 or younger is nonsense, plenty of teenagers get released from clubs because the parent club doesn't think they are good enough, if another club then takes them on and develops them into a quality player then that club deserves the full credit for that. if a player joins an academy at 12 and gets released at 14, then goes to another clubs academy who he grows into a top player with, according to you his original club deserve more credit then his second club, odd logic considering he spent far longer at his second club's academy/reserve team.
also, plenty of players didn't join any academy until 14 or 15, so according to you they don't count as youth team players at the club they started at. however to answer your question, yes, other then blackett who joined when he was 8 years old, evans joined when he was a 9/10 year old, lingard only joined united's youth academy officially at 16 but he wasn't at any other clubs academy previously, born and bred in manchester. james wilson, scouted by united when he was 7 and joined as a kid. darren fletcher, joined united at age 11. as i said these are just the players in the first team, there are plenty more examples in the current reserves, youth team, you seem to think we buy all our youth players from abroad.
