United reach semi-finals of Terborg tournament

Manchester United reached the semi-finals of a prestigious youth tournament in the Netherlands last weekend.

Having taken a strong 18-man squad, the Reds finished fourth in the final standings in the 38th edition of the Terborg tournament.

Despite losing 2-0 to Ajax Cape Town in their opener, Kieran McKenna's side finished second in the group in the Under-19 competition after goals from Indy Boonen and Callum Gribbin secured a 2-0 win over Brazilian side Flamengo before a goalless draw against Dutch side De Graafschap.

It was enough for the young Reds to advance to the semis but the team were unfortunate to see the journey cut short by an agonising penalty shoot-out defeat – losing 5-4 on spot-kicks following a goalless draw against Atletico Mineiro, who went on to win the competition as the Brazilians saw off Ajax Cape Town 2-1 in the final.
