United's Kids - Not the Pride of Manchester

MCFC U18s 3 - 2 MUFC U18s

Manchester United were yet again shown by the better half of Manchester how to develop young players with the game against the league leaders being a loss. United also had a rather favourable referee who decided to award them a very generous penalty, but order was resumed as England youth international, Danny Welbeck had his shot saved by Filip Mentel. City's goals came from Robbie Mak, Ian Daly and Donal McDermott. United had taken an early lead, but Mak equalized soon after. City took the score to three, one; but later in the game they took their foot of the pedal and allowed United to score a soft goal to give the score line a less realistic reading of the game which City controlled for the most part. Having played third place United, City go away next week to second place Everton where they will hope to stamp their authority on the league title that they easily won last season.

City: Mentel(GK), Trippier, McGivern, Ramsey, Mee, Kay, Weiss, Tsiaklis, I Daly, Mak, McDermott.

Subs: Clegg(GK), Morris, Poole, D Ball, Robinson.

City's U16s could not continue their winning ways but fought out a one all draw with United's U16s.
