The Football Association is showing contempt to young professionals. They still haven't announced a date or venue for FA Youth Cup final, which is Man City v United. The FAYC final is a big fixture - the crowd was genuinely 60,000+ when United hosted the final v Forest in 2022.
You’ve got the best two youth teams in England meeting in the FA Youth Cup final.
The idea that it’s played in a 6,000 capacity stadium at MCFC is such a shame. 60,000 would watch this game if it was done right.
