Manchester United have quite the reputation for producing superstars through their academy but that doesn’t mean you necessarily know them all.
The United academy grew a huge reputation throughout the nineties when they produced the famous Class of ’92. With the likes of David Beckham, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and more all coming through at the same time.
We’ve divided into the archives and picked out nine academy graduates who you had no idea spent time at Manchester United.
Jack Harrison
Harrison had his breakthrough in the MLS in 2016 when he first appeared for New York City FC. After two promising seasons in the USA he then made the switch to Manchester City, but few people know he was previously part of Man United’s academy.
The Leeds United winger spent seven years in the youth ranks at Old Trafford from 2003–2010 before he decided to make the switch over to America.
Ben Brereton Diaz
These days Brereton Diaz is a Chilean sensation. After it was revealed he had Chilean heritage the Stoke-on-Trent-born forward was cast into stardom. He has since gone on to make 17 appearances for Chile, scoring four goals in the process.
These days he is playing for Blackburn Rovers in the Championship, but he did spend a portion of his youth career with United before he was then snapped up by Stoke City.

Dwight McNeil
McNeil made a £20million move over to Everton in the summer transfer window after impressing with Burnley in the Premier League. McNeil supported the Red Devils as a child as was part of their youth setup until he turned 14.
Soon after his release from United, he was snapped up by Burnley and he made his first-team debut for the Clarets in 2018 aged 18.
Robbie Savage
Alright, you probably do know this one, because the Wrexham-born midfielder rarely shuts up about being the ‘forgotten’ member of the Class of ‘92.
He never quite made it at Old Trafford, but still enjoyed a respectable top-level career, with over 600 professional appearances for seven different clubs.
Robbie Savage might have never made a first-team appearance for United, but his son Charlie has already achieved just that.
