MIDWEEK EUROPEAN CHALLENGE
Fans are encouraged to show their support for our Under-19s on Wednesday night as we host FK Zalgiris, Lithuanian champions at this level, in the second leg of the UEFA Youth League second round.
The 19:00 GMT kick-off at Leigh Sports Village sees Adam Lawrence’s United side start with a three-goal advantage, having triumphed 5-2 in Vilnius a fortnight ago.
Gabriele Biancheri and Ethan Williams scored doubles in the Lithuanian capital, with the fifth coming from James Scanlon during a frenetic final few minutes which provided Zalgiris with some hope going into the second leg, thanks to their two goals.
