Premier League 2: Leicester 0 United 1

Premier League 2 | Belvoir Drive Training Ground | Scorer: Mitchell 62

Manchester United Reserves got the Premier League 2 campaign off to a good start with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Leicester City.

The victory for new boss Ricky Sbragia’s side came courtesy of a delightful Demi Mitchell free-kick, which he fired home in the 62nd minute, after a goalless first-half.

The match at Leicester’s Belvoir Drive facility began in frantic fashion as both sides looked to grab a firm hold of the game but, in truth, neither team were able to consolidate possession long enough to mount any serious attacks.
