Danny Stapleton who scored in every game up to the final. In the final, they met an even stronger Baku United than previously faced and this was proven with a 3–0 victory to the Azerbaijan backed club, meaning they regained the prestigious cup trophy once again. Samuel Richardson finished as the club's top goal scorer, with 40 goals in total and setting a new season club record. The 2016 campaign, saw the FA National League's top regional competitions absorb into two main leagues; North and South. Samuel Richardson took over the captaincy, Stuart Cook moved to London Helvecia and England International Jordan Parker moved on to pursue other interest. Due to the squad make-up, their club focused on developing some of the younger players for the longer term benefit of the club. However, the club remained relatively competitive throughout the season and still finished a comfortable second, behind a strong Team Birmingham that had recently brought in a number of experienced overseas players as their core. The club drew London Helvecia in the Super League playoffs, and similarly to the games against Birmingham earlier on in the season, it competed well in its first game until the final quarter, where the game quickly ran away from Manchester's control and ultimately the difference in experience saw Helvecia win. Helvecia comfortably won the return game, but ended up losing to Oxford Lions on penalties in the Grand Finals. In the FA Futsal Cup, the club made it to the Quarter Finals of the competition losing out to surprise package Cambridge United and Oxford Lions beat Genesis in the finals of the FA Futsal Cup, to complete a season double. Samuel Richardson and Raducio King were the joint top scorers over the season with 18 goals each. The development focus of the current first team proved fruitful, exemplified by Danny Stapleton, Ben Seol, Giles Collier and Jordan Edge all moving up to the England U23's squad and Yussef Abdullahi being selected for England U19's. Furthermore, recent addition to the squad Richard Ward, represented the England national squad in the Main Round of UEFA's European Championships qualifier's. 2017 - 2020 2021 - Present First Team Squad 22/23 Academy Squad 22/23 Player Records All statistics from top flight FA National Futsal Series, FA National Super League, FA National League, Playoffs, Grand Finals and FA Futsal Cup games from the 2007/8 season only* Manchester Futsal Club
