Under-18s: West Brom 1 United 1

Barclays U18 Premier League
Saturday 8 August

WEST BROM U18 1
(Melbourne 11)

MANCHESTER UNITED U18 1
(Dearnley 18)

Manchester United started the Barclays Under-18 Premier League season with a 1-1 draw at West Brom with Zach Dearnley scoring a first-half equaliser.

The Reds, who included trialists Thomas Sang and DJ Buffonge in the line-up, fell behind in the 11th minute when Max Melbourne broke through the defence. Although Oliver Byrne kept out Melbourne's initial shot, the Baggies man snapped up the rebound after it bounced off Jimmy Dunne.

Seven minutes later, Buffonge took a corner to the back post where Dearnley climbed highest to convert a header for the leveller.

United had the majority of possession throughout the game but struggled to take the chances that were carved out in the final third. Consequently, West Brom played mostly on the counter attack and, despite hitting the bar before half time, they rarely threatened Byrne's goal.

Marcus Rashford also rattled the woodwork in the second period after a great run and, in the closing minutes, Callum Gribbin's free-kick hit the frame of the goal to leave the Reds frustrated not to get a winner.

United starting XI: Byrne; Sang (Thompson 78), Williams, Dunne, Hamilton; Whelan, Kehinde (Kenyon 69), Buffonge, Dearnley; Gribbin; Rashford. Subs: Dorrington, Tanner, Diedrick-Roberts.

UNDER-18S: MANCHESTER UNITED 1 SUNDERLAND 2

Barclays Under-18 Premier League | 16 January 2016 | Scorers: Boonen 32; Molyneux 7, Casey 50.

Manchester United’s youngsters put in a battling performance against Sunderland on Saturday afternoon, but they just fell short of halting their recent run of disappointing league results.

Paul McGuinness’s lads were certainly hoping for a timely boost ahead of Friday’s exciting FA Youth Cup fourth-round clash against Chelsea at Altrincham, and they certainly made a bright and enthusiastic start to the game in chilly but sunny conditions at the Aon Training Complex. Early frost had disappeared and the pitch looked perfect as the match got under way.

The Reds were full of running in the opening moments of the match and Sunderland were required to put in a good deal of chasing in an attempt to gain possession of the ball. That said, Black Cats winger Luke Molyneux cut in from the right to hit a fine warning shot that thudded against the woodwork.

Five minutes later, Molyneux tried his luck for a second time with more success as his strike flew fiercely into George Dorrington’s net. It was a disappointing setback for the young Reds who had looked the better team up to that point.

Happily, McGuinness's team responded well to Sunderland's opener and proceeded to look threatening when approaching the Black Cats’ penalty area. It therefore came as no real surprise when, in the 32nd minute, Indy Boonen provided the finishing touch to a splendidly-structured attack and levelled the game at 1-1.

The parity lasted until five minutes into the second half when Molyneux sent over a corner from the right and Sunderland skipper Dan Casey got above the United defence to head home.

The Reds, to their credit, kept their composure and continued to give the Sunderland defence some nervy moments. Callum Gribbin was really unlucky with a free kick that required a great save from visitors’ keeper Michael Waud to prevent it from entering the net. Jake Kenyon also went close, with a shot that could easily have produced a second equaliser.

At the other end, Dorrington performed well in goal, particularly in the second half, with a couple of saves that helped to keep his team in with a shout until the final whistle.

This was the young Reds' 10th straight defeat in the league but that can now be put to the back of their minds as the focus switches to Chelsea’s visit to Moss Lane on Friday. That promises to be a tantalising cup tie and will hopefully be, like the third-round victory over Queens Park Rangers, a night to remember.

United: Dorrington; Sang, Reid (Spratt 78), Dunne, Kenyon; Whelan, Gribbin, Scott, Kehinde (Tanner 74); Dearnley (Diedrick-Roberts 74), Boonen. Sub not used: Moutha-Sebtaoui (GK). Pictured: Tosun Kehinde.

This match was shown live on MUTV and the club's official television channel will broadcast highlights at 17:30 GMT on Sunday after post-match reaction to the first-team clash with Liverpool.

UNDER-18S: MANCHESTER CITY 2 UNITED 0

Barclays Under-18 Premier League | 27 January 2016 | Scorers: Nmecha (pen) 20, Brahim 78

Manchester United slipped to defeat in the Academy derby on Wednesday afternoon despite putting in a battling performance against title favourites Manchester City.

Goals by Lukas Nmecha and Brahim Diaz in the first and second half respectively were enough to give the Blues victory after the Reds' Charlie Scott was dismissed in the 20th minute.

Cloudy, windy and chilly was the only way to describe the conditions as the game got under way at City’s Academy Stadium on the Etihad Campus in Clayton. Both sides were wearing their traditional kits with the only exception being that United were in black shorts to contrast with City's white.

There was a tentative start to the contest with neither side pulling out the stops in an attempt to claim the first goal of the game. But as time wore on the Blues began to have more possession of the ball and as a result chances started to arrive.

United were working hard against the league leaders, but then, in the 20th minute, another City attack was ended abruptly when Scott felled Nmecha just inside the penalty area. The referee awarded the spot-kick instantly, but then, following consultation with his assistant showed Scott the red card and directed him to the dressing room.

It was a major blow for United and the situation was compounded when Nmecha stepped forward to comfortably despatch the penalty past Reds goalkeeper Oliver Byrne.

City continued to dominate the play during the first half and despite looking capable of adding to their tally, Nmecha’s goal was all that separated the teams at the break.

The pattern of the game altered little after the restart with the Blues continuing to make most of the pressing, but without any end product.

Midway through the second half, United broke away down the right wing in what looked to be a promising attack, but it all came to nothing when Zachary Dearnley fired just wide of the far post.

City had threatened to increase their lead for most of the second half despite a good performance from United’s defence and, with twelve minutes remaining, the Blues eventually found a second successful route to goal when Diaz fired home from close range to complete their 2-0 triumph.

MUTV will show highlights of this match at 21:00 GMT tonight (Wednesday).

Manchester United's Under 18s lose 11th straight game - the root and branch overhaul Ed Woodward ordered is urgent

* Manchester United Under 18s were beaten 2-0 Manchester City
* It is United's 11th straight defeat and the gap between the rivals is growing
* Ed Woodward has ordered an overhaul of United's youth system

The cracks in Manchester United’s famed academy were apparent again on Wednesday as the Under 18s suffered their 11th league defeat in a row.

The fact that it came at the hands of neighbours Manchester City only served to highlight once more the increasing gap between the youth systems of these two rivals.

The ‘root and branch’ overhaul of United’s academy ordered by Old Trafford chief Ed Woodward cannot come soon enough for a club that once prided itself on youth development.



Manchester United's Under 18s lost its 11th league match in a row against Manchester City on Wednesday

It’s not only the Under-18s who are under-achieving, even though their current slump has caused alarm around Carrington. The 2-0 defeat to City followed a 5-1 FA Youth Cup thrashing at the hands of Chelsea.

Paul McGuinness’s side were handicapped by the early sending-off of defender Charlie Scott, but City could have won far more emphatically.

The shift in power has been evident in other age-groups for some time too. Only last September, United’s Under-14s were hammered 9-0 by their neighbours.

The last bastion of Old Trafford supremacy is the Under-21s, led by Warren Joyce. The 51-year-old has been in sole charge since December 2010 when co-manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer left to take over at Molde in Norway, and has won the Under-21Premier League title in two of the last three seasons.

Just as importantly for United fans stupefied by the football being served up by Louis van Gaal’s first-team, Joyce has got the reserves playing the kind of attacking football that has been so sorely missed at Old Trafford this season.

The Under-21s have hit 20 goals in winning their last six games against Sunderland, Southampton, Reading, Tottenham, Leicester and Liverpool since suffering their only defeat of the season at Norwich in November.

United are in second place in the table, three points behind leaders Sunderland, but have three games in hand and are favourites to retain their title. The only other club with a realistic chance of stopping them are City, with the two clubs due to meet home and away in February.

Joyce has been responsible for maintaining a steady flow of young talent during his eight years at United, including current first-teamers Jesse Lingard, Cameron Borthwick-Jackson and Paddy McNair. It has not gone unnoticed by the club’s hierarchy, and the former Hull City and Royal Antwerp boss can be assured of a place in the new set-up.

Nicky Butt will head up the academy once he signs a new contract but almost every other position is open to change, from head of recruitment Derek Langley to age-group coaches like McGuinness.



Almost every position is open to change, including that of Under 18s manager McGuinness

United will also consider appointing a director of football strategy whose role would be to forge closer links between the senior squad and academy.

Oxford United manager Michael Appleton has been linked with a return to the club where he started his career, potentially in a role working with the Under-21s, but United know they cannot alienate Joyce.

As Woodward tries to make up lost ground on City, he will need all the good help he can get.

UNDER-18S: MANCHESTER UNITED 2 STOKE CITY 0

Barclays Under-18 Premier League | 13 February 2016 | Aon Training Complex | Scorers: Gribbin 27’, Rashford 33’

Manchester United Under-18s reacted positively to the departure of coach Paul McGuinness with a deserved 2-0 win over Stoke City for their first league victory since September.

Tommy Martin, in temporary charge following McGuinness’s exit on Friday, will be delighted with what he saw as first-half goals from Callum Gribbin and Marcus Rashford earned the Reds all three points at the Aon Training Complex.

United, who made three changes to the team unfortunate to lose 1-0 at Stoke a fortnight ago, had to defend well in the opening exchanges as the Potters began brightly on a crisp morning in Manchester.

Thibaud Verlinden and Jake Dunnwoody tested United goalkeeper Oliver Byrne from outside the box before the Reds began to pose a threat and broke the deadlock on 27 minutes.

Gribbin won possession on the right hand side, drove purposefully into the box and stroked home past Chris Marques from a tight angle.

After scoring for the first time in three games, the Reds quickly followed it up with a second goal six minutes later when Rashford, an unused substitute for the first team’s win at Watford in November, raced on to Callum Whelan’s pass before cutting inside several defenders to slot into the bottom corner.

The Reds were firmly in control of proceedings without creating many chances but Stoke almost reduced the arrears just before half-time as Dunnwoody chipped an effort wide from Danny Jarvis’s through ball.

United continued in the same vein after the break as Rashford went close with a curling free-kick before Darren McIntosh-Buffonge had a low shot from 20 yards tipped onto the post by Marques.

Stoke enjoyed most of the play in a second half which lacked the same intensity as the first but the Potters struggled to break through.

The visitors' substitute Shola Ayoola, who scored the winner when the sides met at Clayton Wood, brought a fine save out of Byrne as the well-organised Reds stayed determined to record only a second league clean sheet of the season.

The win lifts United off the bottom of the Academy Premier League North, a point above Stoke, and ends a 12-game losing run in the league.

A dominant display and three points will give the Reds a much-needed confidence boost ahead of the next game against local rivals and league leaders Manchester City at the Aon Training Complex on Wednesday afternoon (KO 13:00 GMT).

United: Byrne; Reid, Warren, Dunne (c), Spratt; Whelan, Kehinde, McIntosh-Buffonge (Makela 70’), Gribbin; Rashford (Tanner 67’), Dearnley (Diedrick-Roberts 80’). Subs not used: Dorrington. Booked: Dunne.

UNDER-18S : DERBY 3 UNITED 0

Barclays Under-18 Premier League, Merit Group | 19 March 2016 | Moor Farm | Scorers: Gordon 8, Walker 54, Babos 85

Derby County completed a comprehensive 3-0 victory over Manchester United in the Merit Group phase of the Under-18 Premier League.

The Rams made the perfect start when taking the lead after only eight minutes, capitalising on some lapse defending by United. Kellam Gordon was on hand to supply the finish past keeper George Dorrington.

In response, Callum Whelan mustered two shots on target but the hosts finished the first half strongly, with a few close calls towards Dorrington's goal, and pushed on again in the second period.

Lewis Walker doubled Derby's advantage nine minutes after the interval and the Reds were unable to finish off some great chances to force a route back into the game. Substitute Aidan Barlow and Zak Dearnley were both guilty of failing to provide the necessary finish while DJ Buffonge fired over the top following a dynamic run.

Alex Babos wrapped things up late on with a header past Dorrington to round off a disappointing day for the United youngsters.

United: Dorrington; Sang (Barlow 41), Warren, Dunne, Reid; Scott, Whelan; Kehinde, Buffonge, Boonen; Dearnley (Barrett 81). Subs not used: Byrne, Spratt.
