Man United has a long history of producing top-level players from their youth programs. Their famous “Class of 92” is a shining example of this that other clubs could only dream of.

Many, though, rush to call that the pinnacle of their young graduates, and they’re not wrong. Over the years, there has still been a steady flow of kids who have gone on to have great jobs at the highest level.

Marcus Rashford, who has been having a rough patch lately along with the rest of Erik ten Hag’s team, is the star of the show right now. But over the years, players like Dean Henderson, Alejandro Garnacho, Anthony Elanga, and James Garner have also done great things for their clubs in the top flight of English football.

They will be hoping that they can soon find their next big star to help them get out of their current situation. In particular, they will be looking for a center maestro to help with the urgent rebuilding that needs to be done.

Many people would rush to sign Kobbie Mainoo, which is understandable given how well the 18-year-old has been playing for the U23s, but there may be someone else in the school with a different background who could help them even more.

How well does Kobbie Mainoo do?

The young musician who is already getting a lot of attention has a very bright future ahead of him. He was given his first senior start just last season.

Before that 3-0 EFL Cup win over Charlton Athletic, the former Ajax manager did sаy, “We want to get into the semi-finals, so it’s a big game.” He did really well at the winter camp in Spain, so this is a great chance for him. In a game, he did really well against Everton. He earned the chance to play, so I’m happy to give it to him. It’s all about earning it.

This was a long-awaited chance for the Stockport-born creator, who Ten Hag had set aside for a chance with the first team while Garnacho was making his nаme: “But we want to develop players into the first team.” In that sense, I think we’re also in a good place: Garnacho, Kobbie Mainoo is also on his way. They can get on the first team, but they have to earn it.

He has scored two goals and set up two others in 13 Premier League 2 games, so it’s safe to sаy that he has done his job. He has been a calm figure in the engine room and has also scored goals.

But he’s not the only star midfielder for the U21s. A Norwegian young star is also making great progress toward a career at the top level. Isak Hansen-Aarøen is his nаme.

What does Isak Hansen-Aarøen do?

The teenager was picked up from his home country in 2020 after playing well for Tromso. It has been a fast rise for the 19-year-old, who is having a meteoric rise through the ranks and could soon be their latest official academy graduate.

After a great last full season in which he helped set up four goals in 22 Premier League 2 games, this season looks like it will be his best yet, as he has already scored twice in just four league games.

This kind of shape could catch Ten Hag’s attention. Ten Hag will probably already know a lot about Hansen-Aarøen’s great qualities thanks to all the great reviews that have been coming in as he’s gotten closer to playing senior football.

Some people were quick to praise the young player who had just lit up the 2022 FA Youth Cup final. Yttergård Jenssen, a former friend of his at Tromso, said, “I think he was very good and the fact that he has taken the next step so well is very cool.” I could tell right away that this boy was skilled after the first training. Jenssen told Dagbladet that.

“Some of his skills are very raw.” He has so much fun with the ball. The way he moves on a football field… It looks like art in some ways. It’s a bit like Martin Ødegaard with him.”

United’s management must have been interested in him after hearing such high praise for his beauty in control and how he was compared to one of the division’s best creators. Given that Bruno Fernandes is often the one who has to do most of the creative work, it would be great to see some help for the Portugal international.

Ten Hag wrote in July that he did well against Leeds United in preseason and made a great pass for the first goal, which probably helped his case even more. “He’s very comfortable with the ball, and he can see and scan well.”

If he becomes even half as famous as Arsenal’s leader, fans will have another successful graduate to root for.

How good does Martin Odegaard seem?

After all, the Norway star keeps getting better and better, having changed every year since he left Real Madrid for good.

When he was 16 years old, he was taken from his home country to play for the Spanish giants because he was seen as the next big thing. Such an overwhelming experience had to have an effect on someone so young. So, it shouldn’t be a wonder that his best years came many years after that. He led the Gunners to an unlikely title run last season.
