Equally as important, children also learn vital ‘Life Lessons’ relating to attitude, behaviour, communication, discipline, enthusiasm, fair play and the benefits of maintaining a healthy lifestyle which will help them both on and off the pitch.
Emma Savage, head of Manchester United Soccer Schools, commented: “Our courses have become increasingly popular every year, as they offer young players so much more than just football training. Children gain so much confidence from attending our courses, which are designed to help develop vital social skills as well as their technique on the pitch.
“Since 1999 we have built a programme of Soccer Schools that promote a lifelong passion for the game, which is why we have young players returning year in, year out.”
At a cost of £69.95, the two-day Player Development Course includes expert training from UEFA qualified coaches from Manchester United Soccer Schools, use of state of the art training equipment and a player diary to help monitor progress and ongoing development.

Speaking exclusively to Glory Glory Man Utd Javier Hernandez said “Playing at Manchester United is a dream come true and one of my biggest tips would be to listen to your coach. No matter what level you play at there can always be room for improvement, and your coach is there to help and guide you to be the best player you can be. Having Sir Alex Ferguson as your manager is an honour, so I take the opportunity every day to listen to his advice and put it into practice on the pitch.”
