Reserves win at Fleetwood
Darron Gibson captains United Reserves to victory at Conference club Fleetwood.
Darron Gibson was on duty for United Reserves on Wednesday night as the Reds beat Fleetwood Town 2-0 in the latest pre-season friendly.
The Republic of Ireland international again captained Warren Joyce's side, but fellow midfielder Paul Pogba stole some of the limelight with a stunning first goal on 58 minutes. The young Frenchman produced something of a trademark strike, a right-footer from 25 yards that arced into the top right-hand corner giving Fleetwood goalkeeper Scott Davies little chance of saving it.
Danny Drinkwater maintained his record of scoring in every Reserves warm-up game so far when, five minutes from the end of a feisty yet fair contest, he attacked the right-hand byline and beat the full-back before slotting home from a tight angle.
This confident defeat of an ambitious Conference side represents the Reserves' best pre-season result so far and sets up Joyce's young squad for a two-match trip to Scotland where Spartans and Ayr United will provide the opposition.
United: Sam Johnstone; Michael Keane, Tom Thorpe (Larnell Cole, 46), Sean McGinty (Luke Giverin, 87), Ezekiel Fryers; Danny Drinkwater, Paul Pogba (Max Lonsdale, 87), Darron Gibson, Davide Petrucci (Jesse Lingard, 65), Oliver Norwood (Rafael Leao, 89); Will Keane (John Cofie, 46).
