The squad from Old Trafford intends to utilize the image of the striker from Barcelona to serve as a reminder to the players that they should not become complacent.
One of the photographs that is displayed on the wall of the changing room at the Youth Training Center of Manchester United is of Lionel Messi washing a pair of yellow shoes. A message that even a great player like Lionel Messi “doesn’t let his feet leave his face.” That is sent by the photograph, as reported by the Times (UK).

It has been speculated that the photograph was taken in the locker room of Upton Park in 2014, during the time that Messi was competing for Argentina in a friendly match against Croatia. In the photograph, the striker for Barcelona is seen using a towel to wipe his shoes while he is still dressed in the outfit of the Argentina national volleyball team.
Despite the fact that Messi has won a great deal of trophies throughout his career and is widely regarded as one of the greatest players in the history of the sport, he is seen as an example of humility. In order to recall younger players, Manchester United wants to use his image.
Former Manchester United midfielder Nicky Butt, who was a member of the generation that Alex Ferguson, the club’s former coach, coached in 1992, has now been named to oversee the Youth Training Center for the club. As a man of discipline, Butt is well-known for his reputation.
Young Manchester United players were given numerous opportunities to play for the first team when Ferguson was in charge of the club. Products of the Manchester United training facilities, such as Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard, are currently playing on a regular basis under the direction of Jose Mourinho. The Portuguese coach has placed his faith in Scott McTominay, who is considered to be a “homegrown” player.
