“You can’t win anything with kids.” So said Alan Hansen on a now infamous Match of the Day in 1995, following Manchester United’s 3-1 defeat to Aston Villa early in the season. The Scottish pundit was referring to manager Alex Ferguson’s decision to sell superstars Paul Ince, Andre Kanchelskis and Mark Hughes, and replace them with several of the club’s youth players.
But history was to prove Hansen very wrong, as those “kids” were David Beckham, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, Nicky Butt and Gary and Phil Neville, who went on to win the league that season, and formed the back-bone of one of the most successful teams in football history.
The Class of 92 charts the rise of those players, who joined Manchester United as juniors, quickly claimed the FA Youth Cup, and went onto make more than 3,000 appearances for the club, winning 26 major trophies and counting.
