development at the club. We will help them to develop their
scouting network and will loan their young players to assess
them as they come through the ranks.
Walsall chief executive Roy Whalley:
"We are delighted to have this link with Manchester United
and to be able to call on the expertise of some of their
specialist staff to improve the effectiveness of our own
youth development programme.
“Our challenge is to attract good players to Walsall and
then to ensure they are given every assistance to reach
their potential.
"This agreement will help us to do this and the link with
Manchester United will be a big stimulus to our young
players to set their standards high."
