Manchester United's Under-21s THRASHED 8-1 by League One Bolton in their EFL Trophy clash...as Wanderers notch up their biggest win for 40 years

Manchester United may have bossed Crystal Palace as they breezed into the fourth round of the Carabao Cup at Old Trafford - but just 17 miles away their under-21 side were being taught a lesson of their own by Bolton.

United's under-21s were thrashed 8-1 by League One outfit Bolton Wanderers in the EFL Trophy at the Toughsheet Community Stadium on a chastening night for coach Travis Binnion.

Sections of United's support - many of whom travelled with anti-Glazer banners - opted to attend the game in Bolton instead of the senior team's 3-0 win over Palace.
