It’s never easy, at any level, to face the Whites from Elland Road and this was no different with just one Dillon Hoogewerf goal proving decisive in a fiercely competitive contest which saw referee John Matthews hand out six yellow cards and one red, to Leeds’ Henri Kumwenda.
United will now meet Wigan Athletic at home in the last eight, after the Latics ran out 4-0 winners over Birmingham City.
There have been several FA Youth Cup meetings between the clubs over the years, with the 1993 two-legged final proving the most memorable.
United were the cup holders having beaten Crystal Palace the previous year with the famed ‘Class of ’92’, but that meant little to Leeds, who won both games to lift the trophy.
