Key points
Manchester United’s U18 side are back in action this weekend and takes on Newcastle, hoping to continue the form built last week.
Darren Fletcher’s side were back with a bang last weekend in a thumping win for Manchester United against Liverpool in the U18 Premier League.
United thrashed Liverpool 7-0, with goals flowing easily just like they did during the days of Adam Lawrence, and this form continued this weekend with a 3-0 win over Newcastle.

Excellent football from United ends in a Mantato pull back but there is nobody able to get a foot on the ball.
