Our under-21s showcased a first-half attacking masterclass, securing a crucial three points with a convincing 4-2 victory over Manchester United at Carrington on Saturday.
Mehmet Ali's side, featuring several players from the UEFA Youth League, began the match brightly and quickly took the lead. Lino Sousa, displaying exceptional skill, cut inside and unleashed a precise strike with his weaker right foot to find the back of the net.
Maintaining our dominance, we extended our lead 15 minutes later when Jack Henry-Francis's shot from the edge of the box took a fortuitous deflection, sending the ball looping over Elyh Harrison in the United net.
