Correct me if I'm wrong here, but only Cleverley and Welbeck are products of United's academy. Everyone else was bought from other clubs (some of which were at high prices). The reason why United's spending is not as ridiculous as City's is because all of those players were brought in at different intervals and over a gradual period whereas City brought in many of its players through a few ludicrous spending splurges. | ||

United has been able to obtain their success largely due to their academy (i.e. Fergie's Fledglings) while City is trying to succeed through big spending alone. I'm not trying to say that United haven't benefited at all from spending because that would just be stupid. Just hate City for trying to do everything with huge spending alone. | ||

tbh when it hit the 90th minute I was hoping it would go to penalties so De Gea could get that experience in the EPL. But I won't complain about Nani making a play like that  | ||

It's pretty much a meaningless friendly, so why not throw on a few youngsters. Of course, I think Cleverley played in the Euro U21s where nobody shined that greatly so he might have a bit to go. | ||
