RESERVES: MANCHESTER UNITED 1 SWANSEA 1



Premier League 2 | Leigh Sports Village | Scorers: Gorre 53; Boonen 79

Manchester United's Reserves grabbed a late point against Swansea City at Leigh Sports Village in front of 2,136 fans, who also saw Luke Shaw and Ashley Young both make a successful return from long-term injuries.

This may have been a reserve-team fixture, to use old-fashioned terminology for a second-team game, but it was a hugely important evening for senior duo Shaw and Young, who were both returning to action after being side-lined through injury for almost four months.

Shaw damaged ligaments, coincidentally, against the Swans at Old Trafford last April, while Young picked up a serious hamstring problem during the Europa League semi-final against Celta Vigo in Spain.

United’s pre-match planning was disrupted as early as the third minute when they lost defender Ro-Shaun Williams after he took a knock to his head. He was given treatment on the field but after a few minutes he was helped off looking in an unstable state. Fortunately, United had a ready-made replacement in Tyrell Warren on the bench to fill the void.

The Reds were presented with the opportunity to take the lead in the ninth minute, when Joshua Bohui was felled in the area by Swans’ skipper Joe Rodon.

Demetri Mitchell, who grabbed United’s winner at Leicester last week, stepped up to the plate, but his shot flew wide of the keeper’s right-hand post to leave the teams on level terms.

The Reds held sway for much of the first half, with Young and Shaw linking up on more than one occasion, but chances of real quality were few and far between.

It was certainly as useful workout for the returning stars, with Young in particular taking several heavy challenges in what was turning out to be quite a physical contest.

Eight minutes into the second half and Kenji Gorre, one of two United old-boys in the Swansea side, Tyler Reid being the other, fired his team into the lead with shot from the edge of the area.

A few moments later and speculative effort from Mitchell bounced off the top of Swansea’s crossbar. Young and Shaw, having undergone a really good return to action, were both withdrawn to be replaced by Joe Riley and Tosin Kehinde.

It had been a very encouraging return for the pair, who will surely be aiming to back in the first-team picture as soon as possible.

Indy Boonen grabbed United’s equaliser with 11 minutes remaining, with a close-range finish after the Swansea defence had failed to clear their lines.

United: J. Pereira; Olosunde, Williams (Warren 3), Tuanzebe, Shaw (Kehinde 59); Young (Riley 59), McTominay, Willock, Mitchell; Boonen; Bohui. Subs not used: Richardson, Hamilton.

RESERVES : TOTTENHAM 3 UNITED 0

Premier League 2 | Lamex Stadium, Stevenage | Scorers: Edwards 11, Tanganga 13, Pritchard 25

Manchester United's Under-23s suffered defeat at Tottenham with all the damage done inside the opening 25 minutes at Stevenage's Lamex Stadium.

On the plus side, Luke Shaw played the full 90 match and James Wilson lasted 78 minutes as they stepped up their bid for full fitness.

Marcus Edwards was allowed to set his sights on goal from outside the box and duly curled a left-footer around Theo Richardson for the opener. Around 100 seconds later, Joe Pritchard's corner set up Japhet Tanganga for a towering downward header beyond Richardson to double the lead.

When Shaw was robbed of possession in the 25th minute, the situation worsened with Timothy Eyoma slipping in Pritchard, who was in acres of space and cut inside to slip the ball under an exposed Richardson.

United looked shell shocked until finishing the half on a positive note with Ethan Hamilton forcing a save out of Brandon Austin and Wilson miscuing an Indy Boonen centre. Yet Spurs came out of the traps quickly again in the second half and Shilo Tracey should have scored when firing a great chance wide.

Tracey was off target again before Edwards skipped through the heart of the defence to force a decent save out of Richardson. By now, the visitors were also creating chances but Josh Bohui's shot did not have enough power to beat Austin when Boonen robbed Oliver Skipp and Scott McTominay failed to direct a header from a Demi Mitchell corner.

Wilson started to come into the game and he had a couple of attempts, while Mitchell blazed over following some more good work by the bright Boonen. Austin's diving stop to deny Wilson in the 75th minute looked to kill off any flickering hopes of a comeback, and the home keeper also blocked a Boonen header at his near post.

Shaw collected a late booking and Matthew Olosunde was denied a consolation that the second-half display deserved when his shot from a Mitchell pull-back crashed against an upright.

United: Richardson; Olosunde, Warren, Tuanzebe, Shaw; Hamilton, McTominay; Bohui, Boonen, Mitchell; Wilson (Buffonge 78). Subs not used: M. Johnstone, Sang, Scott, Whelan.

RESERVES: UNITED 0 ARSENAL 2



Premier League 2 | Leigh Sports Village | Scorers: Nelson 33, Da Silva 38

Reiss Nelson and Josh Da Silva scored free-kicks inside five first-half minutes as Arsenal beat Manchester United 2-0 in Premier League 2.

Luke Shaw played the full 90 minutes at centre-half for the Reserves, his third successive outing in an attempt to regain full fitness, but Ricky Sbragia's side were unable to bounce back from defeat in the last fixture at Tottenham.

The Gunners could have been ahead inside 30 seconds but Nelson missed a glorious chance, with the visitors soon getting on top. Kieran O'Hara denied Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Chuba Akpom while Da Silva delayed a shot and had it blocked.

A heartening trademark run by James Wilson forced Ryan Huddart into a save but nobody followed in to profit from the rebound, while the keeper did well to deny Joe Riley when he latched onto a fine through ball by Shaw. O'Hara was the busier of the goalies, though, as he made a sprawling stop when Akpom seemed certain to provide the finishing touch to a slick move involving Nelson and Maitland-Niles.

O'Hara dived to keep out an effort by Marcus McGuane but he was deceived by Nelson's free-kick that flew in at his near post, following Matthew Olosunde's foul on Akpom. Five minutes later, Da Silva followed suit with a powerful set-piece that also found the net, from the other side of the area.

It was a hammer blow to United, who struggled to contain the Londoners at times in the first half, but Wilson provided some hope with a run and cross that Indy Boonen could not convert, before turning to fire in a drive that was beaten away by Huddart.

With the rain lashing down, the chances dried up after the break, although yet another free-kick, by Maitland-Niles, worked O'Hara at the start of the second half. A rare opportunity for the Reds should have been taken but substitute Zak Dearnley was unable to net at full stretch when Boonen dived to head on a Demi Mitchell cross.

As Wilson appeared to persevere to overcome a knock, there was little attacking threat and he appeared to do more damage to his hip when attempting to convert a centre by Riley from the left, deflecting it over the bar. He soldiered on a little longer and managed to trick his way through, only to place his finish too close to Huddart, who saved well. Scott McTominay almost forced in the corner as the hosts were desperate to find a lifeline.

Mitchell tried his luck from a free-kick but was unable to replicate Arsenal's earlier efforts as it dipped too late and cleared Huddart's bar. The wide man was also on the sharp end of a dangerous late tackle by Jordi Osei-Tutu, soon before a cross by lively substitute DJ Buffonge nearly created a consolation with a nice cross.

United: O'Hara; Olosunde, Warren, Shaw, Mitchell; Hamilton, McTominay; Riley, Boonen (Buffonge 57), Bohui (Dearnley 46); Wilson (Whelan 78). Subs not used: Richardson, Scott.

RESERVES: CHELSEA 2 UNITED 2

Premier League 2 | EBB Stadium | Scorers: Christie-Davies 72, Hudson-Odoi 82; Kehinde 38, Wilson 56

Manchester United and Chelsea Reserves fought out a terrific draw in extraordinary conditions at Aldershot’s EBB Stadium on Monday evening.

United were two goals to the good at one stage, with Tosin Kehinde and James Wilson netting, but Chelsea rallied well to claim a share of the spoils.

This is one of the longest trips of the season for United’s Under-23 side and it can hardly be described as home game for Chelsea considering the military town of Aldershot is in Hampshire, some way outside Greater London.

But is has to be said that the EBB Stadium, once upon a time the Recreation Ground, is one of most picturesque in the country, with towering trees dominating the scene.

There was decent crowd inside the ground, which is just a stone’s throw from the town centre, as the game started and, within a minute of the first whistle, Chelsea’s Miro Mukeim had forced Kieran O’Hara into action after hitting a blistering drive.

Isaac Christie-Davies also had a great chance to put the ‘home’ team in front a few minutes later but he squandered the opportunity.

Chelsea were certainly making the early running and, on the quarter-hour mark, Jacob Maddox looked to have succeeded in giving his side the advantage but his shot struck the post and stayed out following his darting run from midfield.

Chelsea continued to have the lion’s share of the attacking play, but United’s defence were coping well with the threat the Stamford Bridge lads were posing.

And Chelsea’s finishing was leaving a lot to be desired as Callum Hudson-Odoi completely miscued his shot from a great position.

Then, in the 38th minute, United showed Chelsea how it’s done as Kehinde unleashed an unstoppable shot, after taking a pass from DJ Buffonge, which Jamie Cumming, the Chelsea goalkeeper, had little chance of stopping.

Half-time and United went in a goal to the good when they could have easily been looking at a mountain to climb in the second half.

The half-time entertainment came in the form of an incredible downpour of rain that was still swamping the arena as the teams started the second half.

The first real chance after the break fell to United, in the 52nd minute, when Wilson headed wide from Joe Riley’s inch-perfect cross.

United had opened the second half brightly, making more visits into Chelsea territory, and in the 56th minute they doubled their lead with a terrific header from Wilson.

United’s genuine chances in the game had been considerably rarer than Chelsea’s but it’s the ones that go in that count.

Hudson-Odoi was set free with the goal in front of him and he looked odds-on to score but Riley and keeper O’Hara combined to stop him in his tracks.

Chelsea finally found a way past United’s defence in the 72nd minute when, following a sweeping move, Christie-Davies hit the net with a neat finish.

Still the rain came down and almost every pass and challenge was accompanied by a plume of water.

The home side had certainly regained their momentum since halving the deficit and, with eight minutes remaining on the clock, drew level with Hudson-Odoi grabbing the equaliser from close range.

United: O’Hara, Riley, Mitchell, Warren, Olosunde, Warren, Dearnley, Hamilton, Wilson (Bohui 79), Buffonge (Boonen 79), Kehinde (Kenyon 84). Subs not used: Richardson, Sang.

UNDER-23S: UNITED 1 DERBY 2

Premier League 2 | Leigh Sports Village | Scorers: Buffonge 58 | Shackell 56, Zanzala 72

Jason Shackell and Offrande Zanzala scored the goals as Derby County moved off the bottom of Premier League 2 with a 2-1 victory over Manchester United at Leigh Sports Village.

DJ Buffonge scored his first goal at Reserves level to equalise in the second half but the loss of Matthew Olosunde, who was taken off on a stretcher at the end of the first half, was another negative on the night for Ricky Sbragia's men.

After surviving an early scare, the Reds almost scored in the fifth minute when James Wilson latched onto a Demi Mitchell through ball and, from a tight angle, thumped a drive across Josh Barnes and against the far post. The visiting keeper may have got a faint touch to it and Zak Dearnley's rebound was blocked.

Barnes was in action again to save a low shot by Dearnley, following some neat skill by Buffonge, but Derby carried a real threat with Ikechi Anya particularly dangerous down the left. Luke Thomas was thwarted by Kieran O'Hara but headed the rebound goalwards, only for Joe Riley to make a superb clearance to keep the scores level.

Zanzala had a glorious chance to open the scoring, only for Olosunde to block, as the Rams continued to ask questions of the United defence. However, after referee Peter Gibbons was replaced by Richard Holmes due to an injury, Sbragia's side enjoyed a bright spell.

Wilson unloaded a fine strike that forced a diving stop out of Barnes and the keeper also denied Ethan Hamilton. Dearnley then fired across goal from a wide position when picked out by Buffonge. Olosunde was injured towards the end of the half and it looked a serious one for the American, while Wilson headed the final opportunity of the first period over the top from a Mitchell centre.

Substitute Jake Kenyon and Mitchell were off target before Zanzala looked certain to score for Derby, only for O'Hara to stick out a leg to divert the effort to safety. The deadlock was finally broken on 56 minutes, when Ethan Wassall flicked on a corner for Shackell to loop over O'Hara, a little fortuitously. It took only two minutes and 33 seconds for the Reds to respond with Kenyon feeding Hamilton, who did tremendously well down the left. They were queuing up in the middle and the cut-back was perfect for Buffonge to arrow a precise finish into the top corner of the net.

Wilson was crowded out after a surging run and Buffonge dipped an attempt over the bar but the Rams scored next as their 11th corner of the game led to Zanzala directing a downward header past O'Hara. Mitchell's free-kick sailed wide but Thomas twice went close to ending the contest in the closing stages.

United: O'Hara; Riley, Warren, Olosunde (Kenyon 45), Mitchell; Whelan (Boonen 82), Hamilton; Dearnley (Bohui 65), Buffonge, Kehinde; Wilson. Subs not used: Richardson, Sang.

UNDER-23S : UNITED 2 CELTIC 0



Premier League International Cup| Leigh Sports Village | Scorers: Wilson 28,82

United’s Under-23s ensured continued involvement in the Premier League International Cup when we secured our place in the next phase with a hard-fought 2-0 win over Celtic at Leigh Sports Village.

James Wilson bagged both goals - one in each half - to clinch United’s progress and also maintain his personal record of having scored in all this season’s games in the competition.

United were defending a five-game run in which we had avoided defeat in the Premier League 2 and Premier League International Cup with an encouraging return of three wins and two draws.

Earlier victories over Swansea City and Athletic Club Bilbao meant that Ricky Sbragia’s lads were in a strong position as we approached this clash against the Glasgow giants. It was one of those miserable Mancunian days of drizzle and mist at kick-off time and it was United who made the first genuine opening, in the seventh minute, when Wilson was given a clear run at goal, but his shot, which looked destined to find its target, was diverted past the post by the fingertips of Celtic keeper Conor Hazard.

Two minutes later, Celtic were unlucky not to move into the lead when Regan Hendry’s goalbound shot took a crucial deflection off its intended destination. Callum Gribbin rattled the Celtic bar with a cracking shot and the game constantly switched from one end to the other.

Celtic certainly looked to be a decent team and the Reds had to be on their guard when the Green-and-Whites ventured up field. However, Zak Dearnley was looking to be enjoying himself on the left wing and, in the 28th minute, he instigated the move that led to United taking the lead. Dearnley and Gribbin were both involved in the build-up that ended with Wilson planting the ball into the Celtic net.

The 1,016 supporters who attended this extremely entertaining Anglo-Scottish confrontation could only be well pleased with the fare that was put before them.

The high-quality performance from both sides continued into the second half and, with 10 minutes remaining, it appeared that defender Wallace Duffy had claimed an equaliser for Celtic, but the assistant referee's flag was already fluttering in the breeze to disallow it.

The impressive Dearnley was in the thick of the action, in the 82nd minute, when he threaded through a beautiful forward pass to Wilson, who coolly collected the before depositing it neatly past Hazard.

United had one scare to survive in the last minute when Celtic’s Ewan Henderson spotted Kieran O’Hara well off his line and attempted an audacious attempt from fully 65 yards. O’Hara was beaten but the ball squirmed inches past his right-hand post.

This was a thoroughly enjoyable 90-plus minutes of football that continued right up until the referee’s final whistle, with United safely through to the knockout stages.

United: O’Hara; Riley, Olosunde, Tuanzebe, Mitchell; Gribbin (Buffonge 84), Scott, Sang, Dearnley (Whelan 89); Kehinde; Wilson. Substitutes not used: Johnstone, Barrett, Kenyon.

UNDER-23S: UNITED 1 LEICESTER 1

Premier League 2 | Leigh Sports Village | Scorers: Gribbin 6 | Knight 77

Manchester United's Under-23s had to settle for a point in thick fog at Leigh Sports Village as Leicester City finished the game strongly to clinch a 1-1 draw.


On arriving at the complex, it was shrouded in mist, giving the whole scene a look of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s legendary tome ‘The Hound of the Baskerville’s, which various film producers have adapted to the big screen. Referee Michael Diciccio made a five o’clock inspection of the conditions before confirming that the game could indeed go ahead.

The pitch was perfectly playable, but the visibility – which of course is vital not only for the players but also the officials – wasn’t perfect and required the referee and his colleagues to make the important ruling.

United got off to a flying start to the game when, in the sixth minute, Callum Gribbin found the net from distance after a clearance from Foxes keeper Max Bramley had landed fortuitously at his feet. It was a composed finish from the midfielder on his 19th birthday after his initial through ball looked to exploit James Wilson's pace.

The teams were certainly making light of what from the comparative comfort of the press box appeared to be quite challenging conditions. Leicester’s Josh Eppiah tried his luck from outside the area but Kieran O’Hara, guarding United’s goal, dealt with the shot efficiently despite the murk. Moments later, at the other end, Tosin Kehinde followed Eppiah’s example, but unfortunately met with the same conclusion as keeper Bramley comfortably fielded the ball.

Leicester went close to levelling the scores, in the 28th minute, when Layton Ndukwu hit a curling, dipping free-kick but, happily for O’Hara, it flew inches wide of the angle of post and bar. Charlie Scott could then only place his finish wide after excellent work on the left by Wilson.

The fog appeared to thicken during the half-time break, but that did not stop the teams from resuming the contest with the aid of a yellow ball instead of the white one used in the opening half. Only an astounding save by Bramley denied Ethan Hamilton when he turned inside the area to get his shot away.

Gribbin was given the opportunity to double his output, 27 minutes into the second half, when he was awarded a free-kick after being grounded by Leicester defender Josh Knight. United’s number seven took the set-piece himself and his shot was not far away from reaching its intended target. Two minutes later, Gribbin went even closer with a left-foot drive that was deflected over the bar.

Leicester clawed their way back into the contest and started to show the form that has taken them into second place in the table. Knight found a route past O’Hara to level the scores with a cheeky finish to a George Thomas cross to spark some sustained pressure. Yet it was United who probably came closest to a winner, in stoppage time, when Tom Sang was narrowly off target.

The gloom did little to assist the art of match reporting and, several times, it was virtually impossible to make out who was doing what as they disappeared into the distance.

United:
O'Hara; Riley, Ercolani, R. Williams, Mitchell; Sang, Scott (Dearnley 85); Gribbin (Bohui 85), Hamilton, Kehinde; Wilson (Boonen 90). Substitutes not used: Richardson, Warren.

RESERVES SET FOR OLD TRAFFORD OUTING

Manchester United's Reserves have been hard at work in preparation for Monday night's Premier League 2 game against Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford.


The 19:00 GMT kick-off is free to enter for all spectators and is also being shown live on MUTV as the Under-23s aim to pick up a first win of 2018. With several of the Reds' Under-18 players fighting for a place in the squad, there should be a real opportunity for the youngsters to impress on the big stage.

Angel Gomes and Aliou Traore, who have both signed professional contracts recently, trained with the group in front of the MUTV cameras, while Aidan Barlow could also be in contention.

Sbragia told ManUtd.com: "The fans who come to Old Trafford on Monday night can see what's there and what talent we've got coming through.

"We've got a nice number of players now. Maybe two to three weeks ago, we were down to 10 in training but we've balanced it up to 18 now. Some players are coming back from injuries - Tosin Kehinde and Jake Kenyon. We're just waiting on Gribbo [Callum Gribbin].

"The Under-18s are doing really well and we have great communication with their coach Kieran McKenna, while Nicky [Butt, Head of Academy] controls everything. We've taken five or six of their players up to the Reserves and we had 10 of them training with us over Christmas. It was a little opportunity to see where they are and where they want to be. They adapted extremely well to that side of it.

"That process of making room for younger players to give them reserve-team football early has always been in place whenever I've been here. If we have good 15 or 16-year-olds, we'll bring them in with us but it's certainly important for the 17 and 18-year-olds that they see a door there and a pathway as well.

"We know them, we know what they can do and it's great they can come and train with us. Some of them are playing in the games as well and are maybe slightly further ahead."

Ahead of the transfer window closing in midweek, there is likely to be more loan interest in the senior members of United's Reserves squad - particularly given the impact already made by James Wilson (Sheffield United) and Demi Mitchell (Hearts) with their new clubs. The Spurs match at Old Trafford could be an opportunity to impress any scouts and managers in attendance.

"We looked at it and talked with Willo, who knew the importance of going out on loan again," said Sbragia.

"He chose to go to Sheffield United, which is a good one for him, and his move makes room for Joshua Bohui and Indy Boonen. They had a few chances to play in the early part of the season when Willo was injured and they played extremely well against Leicester and Swansea.

"Josh is the main striker in my team now and he's got to stay in there. I thought he did well against Arsenal and made really good runs. He retained the ball quite well but he's not well developed physically yet. That will definitely come. We played Angel behind him and are giving him games as well.

"I think, in general, from my point of view, I love the senior players going out on loan. When I was here for the first time, I think we had 19 young players go out on loan and it's great development for them. It gets them in the market and people can see them, plus it leaves an opening for the younger players to show what they can do.

"I think it's the Manchester United way and it should always be that way."

Premier League 2 | Old Trafford | Scorers: Chong 50; Bennetts 59, Roles 62, Sterling 70

U23s: Manchester United 1 Tottenham 3

Tahith Chong’s goal five minutes into the second half of this Premier League 2 match raised hopes that Manchester United's Under-23s were on course to end a recent run of unfavourable results, but Tottenham Hotspur hit back to score three times in eleven minutes to claim an impressive victory.


United’s starting line-up showed four changes from the team’s last outing against Spurs’ North London neighbours at Borehamwood. The Reds came unstuck in that fixture, losing 4-0 to Arsenal, so it was no huge surprise to see Ricky Sbragia shuffle his pack.

Chong and defender Lee O’Connor were called up from Kieran McKenna’s Under-18s side to make their Under-23 debuts along with Aidan Barlow, Nishan Burkart and, fresh from his cameo appearance against Yeovil Town last Friday, Angel Gomes.

This was the first of three Under-23 matches that United are obligated to play at Old Trafford each season and there was a modest crowd gathered in the lower tier of the Sir Alex Ferguson Stand as the game got under way.

United were defending the Stretford End in the first half, but it was at the other end where the first real action occurred when Ethan Hamilton tested Spurs’ keeper Alfie Whiteman with a well-struck shot from outside the area.

The match took a little time to get rolling, but it eventually developed into a really feisty contest with referee Andrew Miller kept busy with his whistle.

Spurs were given the opportunity to take the lead in the 35th minute, when Tyrell Warren was penalised for a challenge in United’s 18-yard box. Miller immediately pointed to the spot and Spurs striker Kazaiah Sterling stepped up to take responsibility, but his nicely struck shot wasn’t good enough to beat Joel Pereira, who pulled off a fine save.

United were inches from finding the net shortly before the break when Indy Boonen’s header, from Warren’s cross, struck the woodwork to leave the game goalless after 45 minutes.

The Reds moved into the lead five minutes into the second half when a defensive error allowed Chong to intercept the ball before beating Whiteman with a confident finish.

However, the advantage was to last less than three minutes before the visitors capitalised on a loose ball in United’s penalty area to claim the leveller through Keanan Bennetts. Worse was to follow soon after when Spurs’ Jack Roles put his side in front with a tap-in after snatching the ball from Pereira’s feet.

The Reds were really faced with an uphill task twenty minutes from the end when Sterling made amends for his earlier failure from the penalty spot when he smashed home Spurs’ third goal.

Sbragia introduced three substitutes in Tosin Kehinde, Darren McIntosh-Buffonge and Nishan Burkart late in the game, but by then his team had too much to do to avoid a third defeat in three matches in 2018.

United: J. Pereira; Warren, R-S Williams, O’Connor, Riley; Hamilton, Barlow (Burkart 73); Chong, Gomes (McIntosh-Buffonge 79), Boonen (Kehinde 70); Bohui. Substitutes not used: Olosunde, O’Hara.
