Hardley starts after playing 70 minutes last night
We’re missing a lot of players, down to the barebones and calling up a lot of u16s.

Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) discuss United's fantastic win away against Athletic Club in the semi-final of the Europa League.
They also pick out the positives of United's 4-3 loss away at Brentford, and Nik reviews a day out at Old Trafford watching Manchester United Women qualify for the Champions League.
Are Willy, Omari, Garnacho still injured?
Interesting to see Kobbie Mainoo in the starting 11.
Finally, Daniel Gore (Kavanagh) on the bench.

McNeil gives us the lead with a front post flick on from a corner. Very poor from the City defender.

Runs to the nearest cameraman and kisses the badge.

1-0 McNeil. Header from a corner. Bad goalkeeping
McNeil almost with a second. Emeran with a defence splitting pass. McNeill tries to chip over the on rushing keeper but gets it wrong and it dribbles wide.
Emeran wins a penalty. McNeil misses but slots home the rebound.
City defence looking really weak. We’re passing the ball into their box with relative ease.

2-0 McNeil rebound from his own missed pen. Emeran has been very good so far- surely a promotion to u23s on the cards soon
Has looked a kid with real potential whenever I’ve watched
yeah hopefully the injury nightmare is behind him now and he can kick on
City give us the ball back after we put it out. Their striker runs in and takes it and scores. Scumbag behaviour.
City then let McNeil score for his hat trick. Their striker yells at his teammates for doing it and continues to be a cnut.

Well done City
Brainless play by Juarado
City lad should have got a second yellow for ungentlemanly conduct, but City allowed us to score again to rectify the cnut move

Well that was mad.
Fair play to City for letting us score the third then after.
It was quite obvious that the City-striker didn't notice what was going on - so I ll give him the benefit of the doubt
This is one of the best halves I have seen at this level - there is so much quality out there from both sides. Quite even half but we have been efficient, City haven't.
Yes, they’re kids after all. Make your errors of judgment at this level and reflect after. No need to go postal on kids at U18
I thought he knew what he was doing alright. I thought Jurado was playing with fire though if he didn't think city were going to press even when giving the ball back.
Blowing an absolute gale out there, United players can barely clear the ball into it.
All of his teammates knew what was going on but him? He must be the most oblivious person in the world then.
He took the ball while no one was moving and scored and then proceeded to argue with his teammates for agreeing it was wrong. How did he not know what was going on?
That wind is insane, doing well to be a couple of goals up going into that.
Terrible defending for those last two goals. The strikers had way too much space. 
Emeran and McNeill are playing well.
Mainoo seems to have been quiet. I've not seen much of him. Anyone know how good he is? Presumably he's a skilful AM, but he's not really had the ball much to show the level of his ability.
And I know the positions of the U16's on the bench, and I've seen Murray and Gore as a sub once or twice. But has anyone seen much of any of them?

He knew after though and was still arguing?
Here's the incident again. There's no chance of him not knowing what's going on here.
3-2. City score on the counter.
He probably thought well the RB had the chance to control the ball and just left it, so why not play on?
I guess technically he's not wrong - not sure why the RB didn't just play on from that point either. Anyway, at least they made up for it.
Murray came on for Hardley and is struggling to cover the movement of Sodje.
Jurado is being destroyed by that city winger in second half.
The left winger for City, Borges, looks very good.
Defence looks to have been reshuffled now. Hughes into RCB and Murray over to LB. Bennett over to LCB to cover Murray.
Dan Gore on for Mainoo.
Wind wrecking match as a spectacle but after decent first half look like we are hanging on this half and not touching ball much. We are an older side mainly. City only one second year scholar and we have 6 playing. Both sides playing 16s also I notice tbf.
Interesting you say that because they seem a much more muscular side.
How are we doing and how long is left? Can’t watch today unfortunately.
8 mins to go 3-2 united
good first half, scrappy second. wind has disrupted the game with the team playing into the wind having an advantage with the passing.
City could've scored 3 in the last five minutes. 84th minute.
McNeill gets his proper hattrick
McNeill looks a deadly finisher.
Finishes 4-2 to United but really City should have won it with some of the chances they had in the second half.
