Reserves''' are the [[reserve team]] of [[Manchester United F.C.]]. They play in the [[FA Premier Reserve League\|Barclays Premiership Reserve League North]]. They have been champions four times since the league's inauguration in 1999. In 2002, 2003, 2005 & 2006. They also participate in the Manchester Senior Cup, although in recent years the teams entered in this competition have featured an increasing number of youth players. ~~{{Uriah Heep}}~~ ~~[[Category:British keyboardists\|Lanzon, Phil]]~~ The current Reserve team manager is [[Brian McClair]], who was appointed for the second time in the summer of 2006 upon the departure of [[René Meulensteen]]. His assistant is [[Jimmy Ryan]]. Manchester United Reserves play their home games at [[Ewen Fields]], the home ground of [[Hyde United]]. In previous seasons the team has also played at [[Moss Lane]], the home of [[Altrincham F.C.]]. From the beginning of the 2007–2008 season the reserves will play all of their home matches at the [[Victoria Stadium]] in [[Wincham]] the home of [[Northwich Victoria F.C.\|Northwich Victoria]]. ~~[[Category:Uriah Heep members\|Lanzon, Phil]]~~ ~~[[Category:1950 births\|Lanzon, Phil]]~~ The club has always invested heavily in youth and reserve team players right back to the days of Sir [[Matt Busby]]. ~~[[Category:Living people\|Lanzon, Phil]]~~ ~~{{UK-keyboardist-stub}}~~ The most successful Manchester United Reserves coach has been René Meulensteen. Meulensteen won four of the five available reserve team trophies in the 2004-05 season - the [[FA Premier Reserve League\|Barclays Premiership Reserve League North]], the [[Football Combination\|Pontins Holiday Reserve League North]], the Pontins Holiday Reserve League Cup and the national play off between the [[FA Premier Reserve League\|Barclays Premiership Reserve League North]] & Barclays Premiership Reserve League South winners. The team also finished runners-up in the Manchester Senior Cup. Meulensteen followed this up in 2006 by leading the team once more to the Northern and National [[FA Premier Reserve League]] titles, and going one better in the Manchester Senior Cup. The current captain of the reserve side is [[Kieran Lee]]. ==Players== ===Reserve team=== The following players are expected to play for the team during the [[2006-07 in English football\|2006-07 season]].

Manchester United's greatest ever players, including - in [[Bobby Charlton]], [[Ryan Giggs]], [[Bill Foulkes]], [[Paul Scholes]] and [[Gary Neville]] - the club's top five all-time appearance makers. It is based at the club's state-of-the-art Trafford Training Centre, a 70 acre site in the Mancunian suburb of Carrington. The academy comprises age-group teams ranging from under-9's up to the flagship under-18's, who currently compete in Group C of the [[FA Premier Academy League]] and in the [[FA Youth Cup]] (a tournament which they have won a record nine times). The under-16's and under-18's typically play their academy league games at 11am on Saturday mornings at Carrington, while Youth Cup games are generally played at either [[Hyde United]]'s [[Ewen Fields]] ground (where Manchester United's reserve teams play their home games) or the club's 76,000 [[Old Trafford (football ground)\|Old Trafford]] home, in order to cater for the greater number of supporters these fixtures attract. [[Paul McGuinness]] is the head coach of the under 18's academy side. he is also in charge or the side that is currently in the [[FA Youth Cup]] final, captained by [[Craig Cathcart]]. ==Sources== [http://www.manutd.com] ==External links== * [http://www.premierleague.com/fapl.rac?command=forwardOnly&nextPage=enCompReservesNorth FA Premier Reserve League North] {{fb start}} {{Premier Reserve League seasons}} {{fb end}} {{fb start}} {{Manchester United F.C.}} {{fb end}} [[Category:Manchester United F.C.]] [[Category:English reserve football teams]]
