Manchester United Football Club Reserves are the reserve team of Manchester United F.C. They play in the North section of the Premier Reserve League. They have been champions five times since the league's inauguration in 1999; in 2002, 2005, 2006, 2010 and 2012. 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.
The current Reserve team manager is Warren Joyce, who took over from Ole Gunnar Solskjær in December 2010, after spending two years as Solskjær's assistant. Joyce was previously the manager of Royal Antwerp, Manchester United's feeder club in Belgium. Since November 2008, the reserves have played all of their home matches at Moss Lane in Altrincham, the home of Altrincham F.C. In previous seasons, the team has played at the Victoria Stadium, the home of Northwich Victoria, and Ewen Fields, the home of Hyde.[1]
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 Premier Reserve League North, the Central League North, the Central League Cup and the national play off between the winners of the Premier Reserve League North and the Premier Reserve League South. The team also finished as runners-up in the Manchester Senior Cup. Meulensteen followed this up in 2006 by leading the team once more to the Northern and National Premier Reserve League titles and winning the Manchester Senior Cup.

The Academy
The academy is the core of the youth setup at Manchester United, and has been responsible for producing some of Manchester United's greatest ever players, including the club's top five all-time appearance makers, Ryan Giggs, Bobby Charlton, Bill Foulkes, Paul Scholes and Gary Neville, and the new wave of home-grown talents known as Fergie's Fledglings. The current academy is based at the club's state-of-the-art Trafford Training Centre, a 70-acre (280,000 m2) site in the Manchester suburb of Carrington.
The Manchester United youth team is statistically the most successful in English football. Nine players, far and away the best record, can be found in the English football Hall of Fame (West Ham United are second with four) (Duncan Edwards, Sir Bobby Charlton, George Best, Nobby Stiles, Mark Hughes, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, David Beckham and Johnny Giles). Manchester United also have the best FA youth cup record; winning on 10 occasions and being runners-up on 4 compared to Arsenal in second place with 7 and 1 respectively.
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 Premier Academy League and in the FA Youth Cup (a tournament which they have won a record ten 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 Altrincham's Moss Lane ground (where Manchester United's reserve team play their home games) or the club's 76,000-capacity 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 18s academy side. He was in charge of the side that won the 2011 FA Youth Cup after beating Sheffield United 6–3 on aggregate.
In 2007 the Academy were the inaugural winners of the Champions Youth Cup, intended to be a Club World Championship for youth sides, beating Juventus 1–0 in the final in Malaysia.
