Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson is hopeful that the club will be able to produce another pool of young talent in the coming years.

The Scot, who celebrates his 25th year in charge of the club this weekend, brought through players such as Ryan Giggs, David Beckham and Paul Scholes, who all went on to achieve success in the 1990s and beyond.

"It's going to happen again," said Ferguson. "You can't think that Manchester United could have only one cycle of players as good as that. We will always keep chasing the dream.

"We will get a bunch like that again. We have got to. When the academy system changes to what it should be then we are capable of doing it, getting five or six through at one time again."

The Red Devils host Sunderland in the Premier League later today.
