Manchester United have a healthy history of producing and recruiting some of the game’s most talented young stars and that has continued under Erik ten Hag.
Four places ahead was Kieran Richardson. The winger ultimately became a left-back when he left United for Sunderland in 2007 via a loan spell at West Brom in the 2004/05 season.He tallied 81 senior appearances for United, in which scored 11 goals. Moves to Fulham, Aston Villa and Cardiff ensued before he hung his boots up in 2016 after 264 Premier League appearances, two titles and an FA Cup.
At number 69 was Bojan Djordjic who was at United between 1999 and 2005, making sporadic appearances amid a spate of loan spells. After leaving for Rangers, he joined Blackpool before playing in Sweden and India. He finished his career in the Asian country in 2015, 17 years after his senior debut.
