Default Re: Manchester United's Academy - News and Rumors

Manchester United close in on Nick Cox to join revamped academy coaching staff

* Nick Cox has long been on Manchester United's youth setup radar
* The Blades' academy manager is expected to join United next season
* United are changing their academy structure under club great Nicky Butt


Manchester United are set to appoint Sheffield United coach Nick Cox to their academy set-up.

The Blades' academy manager has long been on United's radar as they stepped up their efforts to revamp their junior ranks.

And barring any last minute hitches, Cox will join the Old Trafford club ahead of next season.

Cox, who has been at Bramall lane since December 2012, will work alongside head of academy Nicky Butt.

A number of academy players have made their mark under Louis van Gaal this season, Marcus Rashford, Cameron Borthwick-Jackson and Timothy Fosu-Mensah.

Nevertheless, United are carrying through with planned changes to their academy structure as they continue their commitment to homegrown talent.

Last month, United's academy underwent an audit to see if it still met Category One status.

Highly regarded Belgian company Double PASS has been enlisted by the Premier League to carry out the four day check starting at Carrington on Wednesday.

United executive vicechairman Ed Woodward was at Carrington holding a series of meetings ahead of their arrival though academy staff were already well drilled on what is required under the Elite Player Performance Plan (EPPP).

The Red Devils were among the last of the top category clubs to be looked at as the Premier League ensure all standards are kept up.

Academies are independently audited and given a category status of one to four, with one being the most elite.

They are rated on productivity rates, training facilities and coaching, education and welfare provisions. The higher a club's category the more funding will be available to it from the Premier League.
