Manchester United Academy play at the club's Carrington Training Complex, Leigh Sports Village stadium and occasionally at Old Trafford and Altrincham FC's J. Davidson Stadium.
The world-famous youth set-up has moulded the careers of some of the game's most iconic players including Sir Bobby Charlton, George Best, Norman Whiteside, Ryan Giggs, David Beckham and Marcus Rashford.
Fans hoping to catch a glimpse of the next star in the ascendancy at the Manchester United Academy may like to attend a fixture and make their own judgement.
Here's everything you need to know about where Manchester United Academy teams play their home matches.
Manchester United Academy U18s home stadium
United's U18s play nearly all home fixtures at their Carrington training ground, which is no longer open to the public. Fans used to be able to attend games here but can't do so anymore due to building works and “safeguarding issues” with other training sessions ongoing.
United's U18s do play some home fixtures away from Carrington, most often at Leigh Sports Village or Old Trafford. These fixtures tend to be in the FA Youth Cup or the UEFA Youth League (U19s). Early matches in these competitions will be at Leigh Sports Village while more significant games and ties can be at Old Trafford.

Where do Manchester United U21s play?
United's U21s most regularly play at Leigh Sports Village, also the home stadium of the club's women's side.
The U21s compete in Premier League 2 and the EFL Trophy, with all of their fixtures in the latter tournament played away from home. This season, the young Reds are in a group with fellow Greater Manchester sides Stockport County, Salford City and Bolton Wanderers.
Three league games per season must be hosted at Old Trafford, as per Premier League regulations. These often come nearer the end of the season and against high-profile opponents like Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City.
Travis Binnion is U21s lead coach, having previously worked at Sheffield United and then with United's U18s, whom he coached to FA Youth Cup glory in 2022.
