Academy Special: Brian Barry-Murphy & Ben Wilkinson

In this episode we look ahead to the future, with the help of two of the coaches responsible for developing incredible talents at the club like Phil Foden, Cole Palmer, Rico Lewis, and James McAtee. First up is Brian Barry-Murphy, manager of the Elite Development Squad, who uses his experiences to not just bring out the best in his players, but to prepare them for whatever the future may hold for them. Then we sit down with U18 Lead Coach Ben Wilkinson, and his father Howard - the last Englishman to manage a winning team in England's top footballing division. Join Academy graduate Nedum Onuoha and Rob Pollard as they ask our guests how they take talented youngsters to the next level, and what the club has done to build an Elite Development Squad that has dominated youth football, and an academy that is one of the most revered in the country.
