Under-18 Premier League | Rockcliffe Park | Scorers: Curry 40; Buffonge 43, Diedrick-Roberts 50
Manchester United’s Under-18s came from behind to claim three hard-fought points against Middlesbrough at Rockcliffe Park on Saturday.
Middlesbrough opened the scoring just before the break but United were level three minutes later thanks to DJ Buffonge and then Kayne Diedrick-Roberts claimed the winner five minutes into the second half.
Middlesbrough started the game looking intent on making an early breakthrough, but United’s defence coped well with the threat. The young Reds weren’t under extreme pressure and before long they were providing questions for the Boro defence to answer.
