Manchester United boss Ryan Giggs is backing the FA's plans for a 'B League'.
The league would sit between League Two and the Conference.
Giggs said: "I would support it.
"I remember playing at Old Trafford for the reserves when I was 15 or 16 against Everton.
"I was playing against men and it helped me. It helped you physically, mentally and it definitely brought me on.
"Rather than playing against players of their own age when it is all about technical ability, which is obviously important, you would be coming up against men at an early age and that would prepare you for what is the fastest and quickest and strongest league in the world."
