Key points
- Manchester United XI View post
Manchester United take on Tamworth in the National League Cup on Tuesday night. Travis Binnion’s side are already out of the tournament against opposition with a 100 per cent record.
This game was originally not meant to be in December, but rather it is a replay of Manchester United’s opening group stage game from August, which was abandoned.
It was due to Sekou Kone’s orbital injury that the game was cancelled at the time, and now it will finally be replayed with the Red Devils looking to end the tournament campaign on a high.
WHO is the most UNDERRATED academy talent at Manchester United right now? 🤔🔥
JJ Gabriel and Shea Lacey are obviously exciting but who else are you excited by?
We are absolutely expecting a strong team for Travis Binnion’s side, and hopefully a win to show Ruben Amorim’s academy comments wrong.
Tamworth 3-0 Manchester United
3-0 Tamworth
That’s game over. It’s been all United but poor in the final third while Tamworth have been clinical.
[Link]Disappointing half
United will be frustrated after that half in which Tamworth scored two goals from very few attacks. Don’t write the Red Devils off just yet.
[Link]Nice play from United
United do well to fashion an opportunity. Kone looks great, quality passing so far.
[Link]1-0 Tamworth
Weak defending from a corner and poor goalkeeping from Murdock. Bad goal to concede.
[Link]Big return for Obi
Days after Amorim commented on Obi, he is back in the squad and will want to announce himself with goals later in this match.
[Link]Manchester United XI
Murdock; Helafu, Armer, Kukonki, Leon; Kone, Devaney, T Fletcher; Sharpe, Biancheri, Mather
Subs: Byrne-Hughes, Kamason, Plunkett, Mantato, Scanlon, Obi
[Link]Shea Lacey is surely in line to play
Having spent three games on the first-team bench and then out of the squad vs Bournemouth which surely means he gets vital minutes here.
