Manchester United's academy graduates played more than 27,000 minutes during the 2018-19 Premier League season - almost 10,000 more than any other club.
According to research by PA Sport, 20 players who finished playing youth football at the club featured in the top flight during last season.
Including the likes of Paul Pogba, Marcus Rashford and Jesse Lingard, they accumulated 27,395 minutes.
Tottenham are second with their 13 graduates amassing 17,903 minutes.
Meanwhile, 16 Southampton academy graduates, including United's Luke Shaw and Fulham's Calum Chambers, played 15,964 minutes, putting them just ahead of Chelsea in the standings in third.
Portuguese sides were the only clubs from outside English football to reach the top 10.
It is the third year in a row that United have topped the standings as the "leading developers of Premier League talent", according to PA Sport's data, despite their graduates' playing time dropping year on year.
More than a third of United's minutes were accumulated by players still at the club, who helped Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team finish sixth in the league.
In addition, Joshua King, Michael Keane and Craig Cathcart played more than 3,000 minutes for Bournemouth, Everton and Watford respectively, while Burnley trio Tom Heaton, Phil Bardsley and Robbie Brady - who all began their careers at Old Trafford - amassed more than 4,400 minutes.
