There has been a lot of noise around Ruben Amorim's apparent lack of faith in United's academy with many wondering what will happen to the club's amazing record of having had a homegrown player in a matchday squad since 1937.
That will only be more difficult to sustain if Kobbie Mainoo should leave on loan in January.
However, first, Amorim has said that will not happen.
Local-born defender Tyler Fredricson, 20, started the EFL Cup defeat at Grimsby Town in August and 19-year-old defender Ayden Heaven, signed from Arsenal last season, has also been a regular on the bench.
Looking a bit deeper, there are some youngsters worth keeping an eye on.
Midfielder Jack Fletcher, son of former Manchester United player and current under-18s coach Darren, has impressed this season - a red card at Barnsley being the only exception.
Fletcher's twin brother, Tyler, is also a player of promise. The pair might play against each other next week when England (Jack) play Scotland (Tyler) in an Under-19 European Championship qualifier.
In addition, Shea Lacey is now free of injury and starting to show the form that makes him a standout at under-21 level. The winger is on England Under-20s duty this week.
Under-21 captain Jacob Devaney is a very solid performer at both centre-half and in midfield. At under-18 level, Jim Thwaites has adapted to a subtle shift from the number-10 position to the number-eight role. Fellow 17-year-old Yuel Helafu has eased into the under-21 team in recent weeks and has a lot of promise.
Below that, 15-year-old striker JJ Gabriel has already been called up for training with Amorim's first team and continues to impress.
Finally, Harry Amass and Radek Vitek are both enjoying superb loan stints at Sheffield Wednesday and Bristol City respectively.
So Manchester United do have some excellent young players, the problem is there have been very few games to play them in.

Image source, Getty ImagesAs we approach the second anniversary of Sir Jim Ratcliffe's involvement, Manchester United are a much-changed organisation.
When he paid £1.25bn for a 27.7% stake in United on Christmas Eve 2023, Ratcliffe vowed to take the club back to the top of the English game.
Eye-watering financial losses of £113.2m to 30 June 2024 subsequently led Ratcliffe to claim the following March that, without action, the club would "go bust" by Christmas.
Those gargantuan losses have been cut to a manageable size. United's latest accounts to 30 June 2025 showed they were at £33m. It is anticipated that the club will eventually become profitable.
The Glazer family, it is stressed, are not passive observers. They remain active and engaged. But the focus is now on Ratcliffe and his leadership team.
"What is happening next week or in the next transfer window is part of life, but an eye needs to be kept on the mid and the long term," says a club insider.
European football of any description is this season's goal.
But the sweeping changes have not been made to achieve that. The targets are bigger.
"If you are at Manchester United the thought process has to be around competing to win the Premier League and Champions League every year," says someone with an understanding of how the club is being run.
"That is a huge pressure. But it should also be regarded as a privilege."

Image source, Getty ImagesIt was the second round of 200 redundancies this year that allowed Manchester United to pursue a different staffing model, so finance could be used in what was felt to be a more efficient way.
Nowhere is the impact of that more evident than in United's data operation.
In an interview with the popular United We Stand fanzine in December 2024, Jim Ratcliffe described the club's approach to data analysis as being in the "last century".
It was felt that Formula 1 was the sport at the cutting edge of data and AI use. The performance of every single component is monitored in fine detail, and success and failure can be measured in hundredths of a second.
As a result, Michael Sansoni's arrival from the Mercedes F1 team as director of data in April wasn't a surprising move.
Sansoni has completely revamped United's data capabilities, which are now being used extensively across performance, recruitment and training.
Precise details of the work Sansoni has implemented are a closely guarded secret, but one source said the work of United's data and analytics team has accelerated to such a degree it is now "among the top four teams".
Following the second set of job cuts there was a strategic focus to bring in what have been described as "versatile people who are multi-faceted and multi-skilled to help in multiple areas".
And it goes much further. Additions include a head of sports medicine and, for the first team, a new doctor, a new physio and a new performance chef. Experts in nutrition and soft tissue treatment. Academy director. Media director. All part of the nuts and bolts at a leading Premier League club in 2025.
But no-one can be sure if the future will be better.
Image source, Getty ImagesWe wanted your suggestions for Manchester United's all-time best Premier League XI.
And you delivered!
Here's a first bunch:
Peter: 4-4-2. Van der Sar, Irwin, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, Beckham, Scholes, Keane, Giggs, Rooney, Van Persie. Simply the best balanced and most skilful team we could have!
Kevin: 4-3-3. Schmeichel, Neville, Vidic, Ferdinand, Evra, Keane, Beckham, Scholes, Ronaldo, Giggs, Rooney. A blend of United over the years playing in a modern system. It would be devastating.
Samuel: 4-2-3-1. Van der Sar, Valencia, Stam, Ferdinand, Irwin, Keane, Carrick, Ronaldo, Scholes, Giggs, Rooney. Impossible! Leaving out Beckham, Van Nistelrooy, Cantona, Schmeichel, Fernandes. But based on pure quality and reasonable balance, this is it for me.
Steve: 4-4-2. Schmeichel, Neville, Stam, Ferdinand, Irwin, Beckham, Keane, Fernandes, Ronaldo, Cantona, Rooney. Plenty of attacking options but defence also in mind.
Alec: 4-3-3. De Gea, Irwin, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, Keane, Scholes, Giggs, Ronaldo, Rooney, Cantona. Must be the hardest club to pick a best of team from.
Royston: 3-4-3. Van der Sar, Ferdinand, Stam, Pallister, Giggs, Scholes, Keane, Fernandes, Cantona, Rooney, Ronaldo. Too many to choose from so I am prioritising midfield and forwards with 3-4-3 formation.
England midfielder Kobbie Mainoo, 20, remains a target for Napoli and Leeds United, although Manchester United will only let him leave on loan if they can secure a replacement. (Teamtalk), external

It's international break so let's have a bit of fun to pass the time.
Now we know football existed before 1992 but for the purposes of this little exercise, keep it Premier League please.
So tell us, who would be in your dream Manchester United Premier League XI?
The debate starts here.
Image source, Getty ImagesThe Devils' Advocate podcast co-host Gaz Drinkwater has been speaking about what Manchester United might need to do in the January transfer window: "Let's remember the importance of the Africa Cup of Nations.
"Seven Premier League games, one of them being Manchester City, that Bryan Mbeumo is going to miss. Amad Diallo and Noussair Mazraoui are also going to miss it. So we would be well suited to strengthening in January.
"I think we will buy now. I don't think we will buy a striker - we would maybe loan one in. But are there any experienced strikers out there that can come in and just fill in and do a job for a little bit?"
United fan Sam Horsfield of LIV Golf's Majesticks GC team added: "Matheus Cunha and Mbeumo are playing great. Hopefully, in January, we can sign a couple more players to help that midfield area. But I'm really liking the look of us so far.
"It's a midfielder we need. Casimiro is definitely not the fastest guy on the pitch and you have got Bruno Fernandes playing out of position to help him.
"I would experiment a little bit. With Benjamin Sesko being out, you can put Cunha up top, and then put Bruno back into the position he thrives in and plays his best in, up there with Mbeumo. Then, hopefully bring in a good, defensive, holding midfielder to link up play.
"Hopefully the board and everyone gets behind Ruben Amorim and gives him what he wants."
Sin bins? Bonus points? Two goals if you score from distance?
Imagine a world in which you could reinvent football.
It's a dream, of course. Just a bit of fun. But stick with us.
What if you had the power to change any of the game's laws and potentially bring to an end countless hours of discussion about handball, offside, video assistant referees, or anything else you want to?

Manchester United have joined clubs including Real Madrid, Barcelona, Paris St-Germain and Bayern Munich in the battle to sign teenage German midfielder Kennet Eichhorn. The 16-year-old has a £8.8m to £10.5m (10m to 12m euros) release clause at Hertha Berlin. (Florian Plettenberg), external

Image source, Getty ImagesWe asked for your views on who will replace Bruno Fernandes as captain when he eventually leaves Manchester United.
Here are some of your comments:
Davood: Matthijs de Ligt is the ideal candidate to succeed Bruno Fernandes because he offers a captain's pedigree that is both rare and proven. De Ligt wouldn't just wear the armband - he would personify the resilient, winning foundation upon which a new Manchester United era can be built.
Freddie: Casemiro. He has proved he can win trophies at the top level and is back at his peak in terms of performance. A proper player and Ruben Amorim has shown faith in him before. He is nearing the end of his playing days but what's to stop him being given the armband?
Steve: Given another year, it could be Bryan Mbeumo, Amad Diallo or Senne Lammens. However, De Ligt is starting to look like he will run through brick walls for United. We have missed that attitude from everyone but Bruno.
Christine: Definitely De Ligt as the next captain. He shows the character, personality and has the world-class quality that will drive Manchester United and his country to win trophies. De Ligt has been so underrated by pundits and the media. He is arguably the best centre-back in the Premier League.
Paul: Harry Maquire should be vice-captain and captain when Fernandes is not playing. Some fans will say he is injured a lot. I think two seasons ago he had a jaded campaign, but last season and this one he has shown leadership.
Daz: De Ligt is the most obvious and suitable candidate. He has been arguably our player of the season so far and he is a natural born leader.

The club say over 120 people took part in the event, the fourth time it has been arranged, which is aimed at raising awareness around poverty and homelessness and raises money for United's Foundation to help with their community projects.
Brown completed the full night on the stadium floor, while former team-mate Michael Carrick and another ex-United defender Phil Jones also took part in a question-and-answer session.
"I've worked with the Foundation for a long time, so I've seen the difference they make in the community," said Brown.
"This kind of event is so important to help support that work and it's obviously an amazing opportunity for fans to have this experience of sleeping out at Old Trafford."

Image source, Getty ImagesWho succeeds Bruno Fernandes as Manchester United captain if he leaves in the next couple of years is a genuine dilemma. Have you ever thought of that?
Now this may seem like a random topic of discussion on a random Tuesday in November, but stick with me.
In the wake of Saturday's chaotic 2-2 draw at Tottenham - just as the 2-2 draw at Nottingham Forest a week earlier - there is only one logical answer.
Matthijs de Ligt stole the headlines with one of the final kicks (headers) of the match, salvaging a point to end United's losing streak against Spurs and maintain a five-match unbeaten run.
But it was what he did in the 95 minutes before that clutch moment that left me in awe, as he has done on so many occasions this season.
In the week he finally received the Netherlands recall he deserves, boosting his World Cup hopes, De Ligt was everywhere.
If he wasn't completing the defensive action himself, it seemed the Dutchman was in the near vicinity for every tackle, block and interception in United's third.
His pressing was relentless and his leadership undisputed. De Ligt has played every minute of all 11 Premier League games so far this season.
He is essential, the current frontrunner for the Sir Matt Busby Player of the Year award, and, for me, the next United captain.
Harry Maguire, Casemiro and Luke Shaw will be likely to set sail around the same time. Diogo Dalot is a prime candidate given his longevity and relationship with Ruben Amorim, but surely not.
De Ligt is still only 26, somewhat surprisingly. You forget he captained Ajax at the age of 18.
He has all the credentials to lead United into a daunting new era once Fernandes bids farewell.
Does De Ligt have the capacity to be a future United captain?

Image source, Getty ImagesManchester United striker Benjamin Sesko will miss Slovenia's World Cup qualifiers but club officials do not think the forward suffered a major problem in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Tottenham.
The 23-year-old left United with 10 men after sustaining the knock following Ruben Amorim already making all five of his substitutions.
He has two goals in 11 appearances since his £74m move from RB Leipzig in the summer.
Meanwhile, defender Lisandro Martinez will train with Argentina ahead of their game with Angola on Friday but will not take part in the actual match.
A new episode of The Devils' Advocate has landed.
This week Joe McGrath and Gaz Drinkwater are joined by golfer and United fan Sam Horsfield to reflect on the 2-2 draw at Tottenham, the injury to Benjamin Sesko and to what extent Ruben Amorim should be backed in January.

Manchester United showed "good character" to come from a goal down to get a point against Tottenham on Saturday, believes former striker Wayne Rooney.
Matthijs de Ligt scored an equaliser deep into stoppage time to earn a dramatic point and Rooney told his BBC podcast The Wayne Rooney Show how key it was to avoid defeat.
"It's important to try and get something out of each game," Rooney said.
"I think they would have been a little bit disappointed with going 1-0 up and then conceding the two goals. But I think it has shown really good character to come back and then a good header from De Ligt at the end to get a point.
"I know Tottenham haven't been great at home this season, but it's always a difficult place to go.
"So, if you'd have said before the game about getting a point, I probably would have taken it. It was good to keep the unbeaten run going going into the international break"

We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Tottenham and Manchester United.
Here are some of your comments:
Tottenham fans
Herman: The first half was awful, the second half a bit better. Destiny Udogie, Tel and Wilson Odobert were much better than the players they came in for. Some substitutions could have come earlier. We've got no-one in front to hold the ball. Why doesn't Dane Scarlett get a chance?
James: Frustrating first-half display. We got into some decent positions and just lacked quality in the final third. Then for the goal it was reminiscent of so many goals we conceded last season where we'd just try to play out no matter the context. I feel like sometimes our players don't read the game well. Glad we managed to get back into it and take the lead, only to then not close the game out. Again, a similar theme to last season. At least we scored from open play.
Andrew: Poor first half and poor goals - but good second-half display. Xavi Simons is getting better and more influential. Two point-blank saves kept Manchester United in it but we sat way too deep after taking the lead.
David: Mediocre performance overall but relieved by a fine goal from Tel. This squad has more to offer than we're seeing at the moment.
Man Utd fans
Andrew: Happy with the draw but United lacked any urgency to win the game. I was hoping that the first goal it would spark some quality football to be played but it didn't. When we had possession, United did not find the spaces that were there to attack the goal. There was no proactive play. Luckily for United, the opposition were just as bad.
Noel: Another inconsistent performance by United. They lack the physicality as a team to play a full 90 minutes, particularly in midfield and defence. Desperate for a holding midfielder with legs to complement Casemiro. More positively, we came back well and the keeper looks like a big improvement on the previous two.
Matt: That result sums up perfectly where we are right now. We're not strong enough to get over the line in a close match, but we are more resilient than last season, so therefore we're drawing matches we would have otherwise lost.
Dean: United actually controlled the game without having too much of the ball. For 80 minutes I couldn't see Spurs scoring. We miss the pace of Rasmus Hojlund up front. United should have taken all three points. Too many subs all at once and the team lost focus.
