Can we read anything into Hepburn-Murphy, Green and Toner not being in the pre-season squad to go to Austria, in spite of training with the first team here. Have they been deemed not good enough? I see our old favourites are all included.

I think it's a shame that they haven't been included, they are our best young talents in my opinion edit- I've now seen the squad on the OS

Man Utd have sacked head of youth player recruitment Derek Langley after 16 years, 

Maybe we have a role for him

I know its a bold statement!

There was an article a few months ago stating that he was leaving United this summer anyway to pursue interests away from football.

Can anyone be kind enough to let me know how to get to Bodymoor Heath by public transport? I'll be honest and say that I've never been there but I am also a keen follower of the u21s and youth team

I have seen many youth and reserve matches at villa park but not at bodymoor, I would very much like to :) edit- I know I am an extremely sad individual but hey that's just me!

The u18s won 3-1 against Derby County yesterday at their Moor Farm training ground yesterday, Harvey Knibbs and Kelsey Mooney (x2) scored for us, there's a report on the OS

Surprised by that I thought he was meant to be highly rated, alongside Green and Hepburn-Murphy.

He is very good but I don't think he's quite on the level of the 2 you just mentioned useless, they are outstanding young players

Sellars is another who seems to have gone off the radar, but the club must still rate him as he signed a new deal in early July. Thought he looked pretty good last summer in pre-season.
