Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag is taking on a bigger role with the academy.
Ten Hag is eager to bring through more talent from the youth system - though is insisting those promoted must be able to fit into his system.
The Manchester Evening News says the Dutchman is now more involved in the academy's decision making.
Ten Hag took a similar approach when in charge of Ajax.
Last season, Ten Hag brought through Alejandro Garnacho and also introduced Kobbie Mainoo to his first team.
