About
The Club is renowned across the globe for developing talented young players for both Club and country.

Player Development Pathways
The Global Football Development Programme ensures a competitive environment to maximise the individuals’ potential. Working closely with both our Academy and Women’s Junior Talent Pathway, our programmes are designed with the aim to improve and support the individual progression of all players through the development levels and through our player pathways that are inspired by the Club’s player development framework.
Player development is at the heart of the Club and is a significant point of difference for us on and off the pitch. The Global Development team impact circa 6,500 players annually and demonstrates year-on-year growth. Technical sessions are delivered by our FA and UEFA-qualified coaches who take inspiration from our Men’s and Women’s First Team training methods to help develop every player that takes part on our programmes.
