An exciting EFL Cup final saw Manchester United return to glory with a 2-1 comeback victory over Manchester City. After their brilliant performance in the 2022 English Youth FA Cup, the Red Devils' rising stars Alejandro Garnazzo and Maneo teamed up again to play in the EFL Cup as adult players, a remarkable achievement, and they are the light of hope for the renaissance of Manchester United. As a result, they were earlier regarded by the club as invaluable assets that could not be ceded.

Since the "92 Classic Generation", Manchester United has not produced any world-class soccer stars, and Garnacho and Manuel have become the shining signboards of the Red Devils' youth training camp. In the Youth FA Cup final two years ago, Ganassou scored twice to help his team beat the opponent 3-1, and was called the "new Cron".

The 19 year old Argentinean international has been a revelation this season, contributing 10 goals and 5 assists in 50 matches for United, a performance that has pushed the team's internal "big brother", Rashford, to the limit. With both players specializing in left-sided breakthroughs, it's only a matter of time before Ganassou replaces Fouzai.

Two years ago in the Junior FA Cup, another rising star, Maneo, also came to prominence. He only got three starts last season, but this year, with five goals in 32 appearances and being selected by the England national team for the preliminary squad for the European tournament, the 19-year-old midfielder has a promising future ahead of him.

Looking ahead, United have listed the trio of Ganassou, Maneo and Heeren as non-saleable players who will be the new core force in the team's rebuild.
