Man United’s youngsters humbled by massive defeat to City

Demolition derby...

Sometimes a scoreline doesn’t tell the whole story, but Manchester United under-14s’ 9-0 defeat to Manchester City is pretty noteworthy however you look at it.

United are thought to have been without a number of regulars due to a clash with an under-15s tournament, but they’d have expected to run their neighbours closer than this.

The future certainly looks bright for City, whose youngsters reached the FA Youth Cup Final last season.

And with the club investing in young talent like Patrick Roberts and Enes Unal to bolster their teenage talent, they ought to be well-stocked for years to come.
