No getting away from it, it's a long one today, but we think it's worth it... Join Ian, Laurie, and Andy as we venture inside Carrington to speak to some of the key figures managing player development in Manchester United's Academy.

We'll hear from Academy Director Nick Cox, Academy Coach Colin Little, and U18s Head Coach Adam Lawrence at a very exciting time...

On Monday, the U18s will face Aston Villa in an FA Youth Cup semi-final at Villa Park. Not only is a place in the final on the line, but it could be a Manchester derby at Old Trafford!
