The World Cup 2026 Forum is now open.
Ended either 6-0 or 7-0 apparently. Jim Thwaites with a nice goal. Looks like it could be another year of dominance over every team bar City.
Will be interesting to see how will we incorporate Gabriel and the Nkoto brothers to the U18s squad this season... Last season we didn't give that much game times to the schoolboys due to having a quite large squad.
Lost one game 0-3 and won the next 2-0. Seems it was older players in the first one and younger players in second.
Fleetwood put a few clips out on their Instagram. This would appear to the starting XI:
? - Kamason, Bennett, Armer, Amass - McAllister, Baumann - Ennis, Fitzgerald, Mather - Biancheri
Not sure who was in goal. They briefly showed the back of their head but I couldn’t definitively say who it was. Possibly Byrne-Hughes or it’s someone new.
A trialist apparently. On Twitter his face is in the background of one picture but it is just a blur.
Gabe Biancheri with the assist.
18s beat Watford 6-1.
Ibrovic-Fletcher scored two, JJ Gabriel got one.

Silva Mexes and Louis Kibbalya involved as well, so not down to injury that they're not at the Super Cup.
Bailey & Ibragimov also scored.
Thwaites, Lusale, Overy, Helafu, Mills & Kukonki all featured too.

Team to play Rochdale this afternoon.
Still yet to see a clear picture but the trialist keeper looks a bit like Abdulla Alhammadi, a keeper from the UAE who has also been on trial at Everton.
Finished 1-1, Ennis with the goal.
Yeah, it's definitely him.
U16s beat New England Revolution 10-0 in a friendly today.
Clearly the Revolution will not be televised.
Live stream will be available on the National League's YouTube channel
Looks like first 2 u21s league matches won’t be broadcasted. Third match vs City is labelled as on MUTV but the first 2 aren’t.
The restrictions have been scrapped but means nothing when they’ve just been choosing not to cover the matches anyway.

Confirmed, not being shown.
Rest of August, 3 matches on MUTV, 3 confirmed not being shown and 1 TBC. No restrictions to hide behind anymore either.
Looks like the U21's coverage from last season continues. Their visit to Middlesbrough tomorrow is not on MUTV. Kickoff 19:00 BST.
Seems so silly to me that a club the size of United and with the storied history around our academy choose not to give fans access to so many games. Even in the u18s game that was televised the other day the camera was basically sitting on the ground making it bloody hard to see(though it was at Everton so maybe that’s their fault and not United)
Middlesbrough vs U21s
Nice to ”see” Mantato play in the defense for a change.
HT 0-0
51’
0-1 Ennis
0-1 Ennis
Will Ennis head out on loan again?
Pity we didn't ask about Hackney whilst there
I'm guessing Mantato was on the left? Interesting that even though he's often played on the right wing, he's not been tried at right back in the Amad/Quenda-style position that Amorim likes to employ.
U14s/U15s beat Cork City 4-1 today. New signing Ben Lyne scored & assisted.

Amen.
Can someone please remind me why these games are no longer shown on MUTV? I know it's been like this for more than a few seasons now, but I can't recall the reason why.
Fired all the staff and they just don't care.
