United unveiled a £50million makeover to the main building in August and have announced plans to bring academy facilities in line with the ‘leading standards’ they have for the first-team.

There will be upheaval while the academy building is redeveloped, meaning the Under-21s and Under-18s will use the modular building, a two-storey block behind the main building. The women's team used the same setup during the £10m redevelopment of their facilities at Carrington.
