Salford-born defender Phil Bardsley began his three-year scholarship in July 2001.

Phil was farmed out to Belgium to help feeder club Royal Antwerp in their relegation battle at the end of the 2003/04 season. Despite an impressive four month spell, Phil was unable to help them avoid slipping down to the second division.

Since returning to Old Trafford, Phil has been a regular in the Reserves and is now a fully-fledged member of the first team squad.
