Manchester United’s Under-21s earned just reward for a dominant Friday night performance at Leigh Sports Village as they comfortably defeated visiting West Brom.
A flurry of goals before the half-hour mark gave the young Reds a dominant lead, and they refused rest on their laurels, extending the advantage further before the break as Jack Fletcher netted a three-minute double, assisted twice by his brother Tyler.
West Brom hit back in the second half with a penalty earned and converted by Harry Whitwell, but United held firm for a good home victory.
The young Reds are not back in competitive action until Monday 31 March, when they travel to York to take on Leeds United at the LNER Community Stadium.
