Manchester United's Under-18s enjoyed a season to remember under Kieran McKenna's tutelage, thrilling supporters, including regular MUTV viewers, with a flurry of goals.
The vibrant young Reds hit six goals on four occasions but the highlights were probably a 4-1 demolition of fellow northern title hopefuls Everton and the 2-1 triumph over neighbours Manchester City that clinched the championship.
A season that began with defeat at West Brom featured improvement from the individual players, with this development the main aim of McKenna and his staff and not the match results. The teenagers visibly grew in stature and even the disappointment of an early FA Youth Cup exit, to Derby County on penalties, failed to dampen any enthusiasm or affect form.
