now a community club, they were formed in 1986 and have supplied players such as Wes Brown, Danny Welback, Ravel Morrison, Cameron Borthwick-Jackson and Tyler Blackett. Most recently it has been Marcus Rashford who has made the headlines at Old Trafford. He plays for England U16 and U18 and has made the headlines in the past few weeks. BTW this badge looks a lot like City's!
Marcus has scored twice on his debut in the Europa cup against the "mathematical" Midtjylland from Denmark, (see previous blog on the way the club runs). At 18 years old he also scored twice in three minutes to help the Red Devils beat Arsenal 3-2 at the weekend.
He is the youngest ever scorer for United in European Competition beating a record held by the legendry George Best. He is also the third youngest scorer for United in the PL behind Racheda, Welbeck and Lingard. Jesse Lingard having come from Fletcher Moss Rangers FC too.
The South Manchester club are held together by chairman and lorry driver Rob Jamieson, who gives his time voluntary to keep the club afloat. With the number of starlets making their way to United, the club should be in fine fettle but it needs financing to help build a club house and 3G pitches.
With the conveyor belt being so lucrative, I cannot see United not wanting to develop the Academy at FMRFC!
