Manchester United is taking its youth development to the next level by sending several of its academy teams abroad with Orange Veins, the international tournament organizer known for bringing together top clubs from across the globe.

In the coming seasons, many of United’s youth sides will travel with Orange Veins and compete in some of their renowned tournaments, facing elite opposition from every corner of the world.

Both Manchester United and Orange Veins have expressed strong mutual trust and a shared goal: to give United’s young players valuable international football experience and the chance to test themselves against the best talents from other leading academies.

The connection between the two organisations already has a rich history. Current first-team stars: Matthijs de Ligt, Senne Lammens, Kobbie Mainoo, and Joshua Zirkzee all took part in Orange Veins tournaments earlier in their careers — experiences that helped shape their journeys to the top level.

With this renewed collaboration, Manchester United hopes to continue that tradition, offering the next generation of Red Devils the same kind of global exposure and high-level competition that helped produce some of today’s biggest names.
