Manchester United beat Manchester City 2-1 in the EFL Cup final to claim the title. Following the 2022 English Junior FA Cup final, the two Red Devils rising stars, Alejandro Canazo and Maneo, who served as champions together as the 'adult' EFL Cup once again teamed up for a great achievement, shouldering the hopes of a United revival. No wonder they were earlier listed as non-saleable by the club.
Manchester United have not produced a world-class star since the '92 Classic Generation' of seven youngsters, with Alejandro Canazo and Manuel Maneo providing the Red Devils' youth training program with beautiful signage. In the Youth FA Final two years ago, Ganazu opened twice to help him. The "Little Red Devils" were defeated 3-1 by Nottingham Forest and were already regarded as the "New Cron".
The 19-year-old Argentine international has been a big hit this season, scoring 10 goals and five assists in 50 games for United, contributing far more than the team's in-house 'big man' Rashford, and with the two equally adept at playing on the left flank, it's only a matter of time before Ganassou replaces Fouzai.
Two years ago, in the Youth FA final, another United were selecting Maneo to progress to the previous team. Last season, he only had three chances to start. This year, he advanced quickly, scoring five goals in 32 appearances in the helmets and was selected for England's participation in this year's European preliminary selection list.The 19-year-old midfielder has a limitless future.
Moving forward, United have listed Alejandro Canazo, Maneo, and Heeren as non-sellers, with the trio becoming the new centerpiece of the team's rebuild.
