UNDER-18s PUT 13 PAST LEEDS

Manchester United responded to FA Youth Cup semi-final heartbreak with a ruthless league victory over Leeds at Carrington on Saturday lunchtime.

Captain Victor Musa scored a first-half double hat-trick, with Jim Thwaites also netting three, in an utterly dominant display from Adam Lawrence’s young Reds.

Leeds offered greater resistance after the break and scored through Kenneth Mensah, although only after James Bailey had thumped one home to reach double digits. Dan Armer and Gabriel — an U14 on as a substitute — brought up United's dozen late on, with the latter scoring twice.
