In contrast, Charlie Crew played four games in the FA Youth Cup for Leeds but, other than that, he's been with their under-21s (who play in the same league as Man Utd), making eleven starts. He was captain for the recent game with Arsenal.
I thought the same, that sounds like a pretty modest beginning to life at Old Trafford, but training with the first team squad is pretty impressive I suppose.

I think Crew may well get a senior Wales cap within a year, although the fac5 we don’t play as many friendliest now might work against him.
