United reserves vs. Chelsea reserves

[SecondFig]

Not seen much about this, but they're playing this morning.

Don't know the line-ups but Amos, Neville & Welbeck all started. As of about 15 minutes ago United were leading 1-0...

There is this article on ManUnitedYouth about the fixture, written back when it was originally scheduled

Chelsea come back and it's 2-1 to Chelsea's reserves. The game's being played behind closed doors which is why there's so little coverage

 

[SecondFig]

And now it's 3-1 to Chelsea

 

[PS18]

Finished 4-1 to Chelsea, surprising given the strength of the United side.

Amos, Neville, De Laet, Gill, Dudgeon, Evans, Eikrem, Possebon, Keane, Welbeck, Ajose

 

[SecondFig]

Full time, final score 4-1 to Chelsea.

United's starting XI:
Amos
Neville
De Laet
Gill
Dudgeon
Evans
Eikrem
Possebon
Ajose
Keane
Welbeck

Disappointing score for a fairly strong reserve side, no idea what side Chelsea fielded though.

Welbeck scored after 8 minutes before Chelsea pulled a goal back on 33m. Chelsea scored their second on 37 minutes and Norwood came on immediately afterwards.

Chelsea scored their last two goals in the last five minutes of the game.

Final score 1-4

Two keepers on the bench? Bit odd.

Cathcart's absence would fit in with reports of an imminent move to Blackpool.

Brady also wasn't involved. Is he away with Ireland Under 19s/21s?

Do we have any idea when Vermijl will make his debut?

Highlights (or rather lowlights, for the most part) - YouTube - Chelsea Reserves v Manchester United Reserves (H)(F)

Some seriously sloppy defending/keeping there.

Would expect Young, Gifted and Red later on to have the goals from all our pre-season games so far, don't know if anyone will be able to record/upload it.
