Manchester United have reportedly banned Chelsea scouts from attending academy games over a recent incident
Manchester United and Liverpool have reportedly banned Chelsea scouts from attending their academy matches, in what appears to be a response to the Blues' similar actions against them.
According to Premier League regulations, scouts should be allowed to attend academy matches if they have informed both clubs involved before noon on the last working day prior to the game and can provide valid identification. It is speculated that United and Liverpool perceive this action as a reaction to Chelsea losing Rio Ngumoha to Liverpool during the summer.
This leaves the new heads at Chelsea's academy in a tricky situation. Neil Bath and Jim Fraser, who guided the club through a golden era of youth development for 20 years, exited Stamford Bridge earlier this year. Chelsea poached Glenn van der Kraan from Manchester City for the role of academy technical director, while Jack Francis got an internal promotion to academy football operations director.
