Premier League 2: Man City 1 United 1

Premier League 2 | 9 September 2016 | Etihad Stadium | Scorers: Diaz 63 | Willock 25.

Manchester United and neighbours City warmed up for the senior action with a 1-1 draw at the Etihad Stadium at Premier League 2 level.

The Reds' reserves went ahead in the first half through Matty Willock, soon after a tactical reshuffle by coach Warren Joyce, but the Blues levelled through substitute Brahim Diaz to ensure the spoils were shared.

Rodney Kongolo really should have put the hosts ahead when latching onto a miskick by Regan Poole and advancing towards Kieran O'Hara's goal in only the seventh minute.
