Before the club's last Premier League game against Cardiff City at the Old Trafford on Sunday, manager of Manchester United, Ole Solskjaer talked about his plan for the team's future-the Red Devils will eye more on youth development.

"I don't think we've ever been a ready-made club – (Cristiano) Ronaldo was not ready-made, (Wayne) Rooney was not ready made. Loads of players have come here and developed into the top superstars they've become. It's always going to be the model here that we develop players because we have the best staff, the best environment, the best supporters," said Solskjaer at the pre-game press conference.

Man United had been known for finding and developing young talents into stars. From the well-known 92 Class to Rooney and to Ronaldo, are all proud fruits of the club. However, in recent years, they preferred to sign established star players for quick success, which did not work well. Many of the deals became toxic, and the players who cost the club tons of money did not contribute as expected either. Man United failed to make the UEFA Champions League this season.

Back when Sir Alex Ferguson was the boss, Man United always had a long-term plan going on for team and player development and thus were willing to invest in promising youngsters. In return to the club's patience and help, the young players were willing to give their best in the games and were more loyal to the jerseys they were wearing.

However, as Ferguson retired, Man United began searching for a new manager. From David Moyes to Louis van Gaal and then to Jose Mourinho, it's hard to say whether they had long-term plans for the club, but each of them was under great pressure for achievement, thus leaving them little time or patience for young talents.

The good news for Man United was that Solskjaer has been with the club long enough to learn from their development culture, which should give him a better chance of helping the Red Devils focus back on youth development again. Nonetheless, first, he must deal with the club's overstuffed franchise by cutting the unnecessary parts.
