U/18's v Bolton

Mr. MUJAC · 31st October 2007, 20:43

United'[s Academy game with Bolton Wanderers on Saturday was brought forward to tonight at the Cliff with a 7.00pm kick-off.

United took the lead just before the half-hour mark with a deflected strike from Cameron Stewart......

Almost immediately the floodlights failed, and the couple of dozen supporters were thrown into darkness........

More to follow.......

Most supporters now left the ground with no signs of immediate resumption of play......apparently the whole area had an electricity failure......

Thanks for the updates Tony. This Macheda lad seems to have started well at United.

Cheers, Tony. Line up and ratings?

Macheda seems to be getting better with every game, him and Welbeck are proving a good partnership upfront, alongside eikrem and drinkwater in midfield who are supply great balls to them. Its very intresting watching the youth team play.

How did Corry Evans play (if he played)? He's also started very well this year.

M160RA · 1st November 2007, 12:51

Has Eikrem grown at all?

He is in the Northern Irish u-19 squad.
Fagan is with the Irish u-19s.

U18s: United 2 Bolton 0

United's youngsters shone on Wednesday night, as the U18s beat Bolton Wanderers 2-0 to register yet another victory in the Premier Academy League.

Goals from winger Cameron Stewart and striker Federico Macheda handed the Reds a fourth consecutive win - the team's eighth in 10 matches - to leave Paul McGuinness' side third in the league.

Manchester City currently top Group C, United's regional division of the league, with 29 points from a possible 33, with Everton nipping at their heels on 28.

Stewart got the opening goal for the Reds after 26 minutes, then with just over quarter of an hour remaining former Lazio striker Macheda, who joined United in the summer, got the second. The 16-year-old Italian is now top scorer for the U18s with five goals in six games.

United's next competitive test comes with a trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday 10 November, although the Academy team will be in action between 6 November and 8 November in the Pele Trophy. Organised by Sheffield United's Academy, the tournament pits the Blades' youngsters against squads from United, Sao Paulo and FC Porto.

United: Amos; McCormack, Strickland, Gill (Norwood 61), Derbyshire (Ajose 61); Bryan, James, Eikrem, Stewart; Brandao, Macheda.
Subs not used: Woods, Curran, Potts.

Haven't seen him since the Milk Cup this summer, but he put on quite a bit of muscle in his first year at the club. His dad is a weightlifter and his ma is a sprinter so I'm sure he'll be alright.

Glad to see Brandao in the starting line-up. How did he do?

I'm impressed with Macheda, he seems to be settling in well.

Him and Welbeck are in great form.

yep. i live about half a mile from the Cliff and we were plunged into darkness for quite a while as well.

great to see Macheda settling in so quickly.

M160RA · 2nd November 2007, 07:40

So what's the story on Macheda? Did the club poach him from Lazio and help his family re-locate to England, or was his family going to move anyway?

Elliott · 2nd November 2007, 19:54

We poached him. He's been on Sir's radar since he was 13 or something like that, and we got his dad a job ages ago.
