THE SIGNIFICANCE OF THE YOUTH LEAGUE
As well delving into fan culture in the Baltic state, this latest episode of Lifeblood explores why the Youth League is such an important competition for the Academy, and what challenge it presents to the club’s staff, as well as players.
You might recognise some of the players involved. Many have been featured in senior matchday squads over the last few months, including Ethan Wheatley (graduate number 250), Jack Fletcher, Harry Amass, Jayce Fitzgerald and Godwill Kukonki.
As well as Higham, you’ll hear from Lawrence (lead coach), Colin Little (assistant) and the head coach of Zalgiris, a lifelong United fan.
