Manchester City's U18 Premier League title-winner Dire Mebude is already looking to make a big step up next season, while his coach says there is a talented group of under-16's who are looking to replace the current group.
City had already won their U18 Northern league, and were at Southampton on Thursday to contest the national title they had won for the previous two seasons.

"We need to recharge and see what happens next season. EDS hopefully, it will be very good next season, so see what happens."
His coach Ben Wilkinson offered a similar analysis of the game, and had particular praise for Mebude and fellow winger Carlos Borges.
“I'm delighted, it’s a great way to finish the league season. I think we’ve deserved it over the course of the league season,
