Sir Alex Ferguson is confident that none of the young players he develops are ever thrown into the fray too early.
Ahead of Wednesday’s Carling Cup quarter-final meeting with Crystal Palace, Ferguson said that all inexperienced footballers at the club are put through a development procedure which allows them to flourish at the top level.
"Players are never simply thrown into first team action," Ferguson told the club's official website. "They always follow this step-by-step process.
"I don't think we've ever been off the mark and given a boy his chance too early. That can be very damaging. If he's not up to the standards we require at United then we don't venture there.
"The last thing we'd want is to humiliate a player. I'm not saying every player I've ever given a debut to has gone on to be a fantastic player at this club, but most of them have at least forged successful careers.
"The monitoring system here is good and there's a lot of consistency within our academy staff.”
