Manchester United’s U18 side resumed their league campaign on Saturday morning after over a month.

In the pursuit of a second successive U18 Premier League crown, Manchester United’s academy is looking unstoppable.

Adam Lawrence’s side had been unmatchable through the opening 10 games of the season and sat second in the league by one point with two games in hand.

The U18s have also been progressing in the FA Youth Cup, thrashing Preston last week to progress to a fifth-round match against Chelsea in early February.

Now, Saturday has seen the U18s back in league action and picked up yet another win.

Manchester United U18s win 11th league game in a row

Back in action and Lawrence’s United side has not skipped a beat, winning their 11th straight league fixture of the season to maintain a 100 per cent record.

It was a 1-0 win over Wolves which saw United remain just one point behind Man City – with next week’s game potentially an early title decider considering the games in hand.

This result is now as impressive a scoreline as we are used to with the U18s, but without Chido Obi up front, there was always due to be a struggle.

It was surprisingly Jaydan Kamason who got the goal from right-back, his second of the season.

The goal was assisted by Tyler Fletcher, his seventh of the season as he continues to impress and look like a great bit of business for United.

Tyler Fletcher is having an excellent season

Tyler is often overshadowed by his twin brother Jack Fletcher, due to the latter pushing into the United U21 set-up and even being noticed at senior level.

But this is not to take away from Tyler and his ability on the football pitch.

Playing in the double-pivot, Tyler has scored once and assisted seven for the U18s – while also scoring for the U21s

Being the son of Darren Fletcher, many United fans were excited by Tyler and Jack – well this season both are proving their worth.
