2 Gary Neville
3 Arthur Albiston
4 Norman Whiteside
5 Paul McGrath
6 Kevin Moran
7 David Beckham
8 Paul Scholes

I thought Bailey was South Africa, how is he home grown?

Good point.
OP, did Bailey progress through the ranks i.e. played in all the youth teams.

Bailey came straight from college football in SA.
McGrath and Moran never came through United's youth system like the others did.

That is true for those three, im pretty sure they didnt play for the youth teams but i was struggling a bit for quality in those positions. i could have used greenoff i suppose

What about
Charlton,
Edwards
Jonny Berry
Viollet
Stiles
OP there have been many more home grown players over th years, not just the past 30 years
In any case McGrath was Irish, GB was south african, Whiteside was N Irish, Moran was Irish
