The win for the young Red Devils will be pleasing for the fans as the club continues their rich history of promoting youth. The club will be delighted to have progressed to the last four of the Dallas Cup and will be aiming to bring home the youth prize for the first time and make themselves the 7th English team to win the competition alongside Fulham, Everton, Nottingham Forest, Liverpool, West Ham and the Royal Navy.

The youth side’s promising performances will no doubt excite those associated with the club as the stars of tomorrow will be hoping that the first team coaches are looking on at their heroics in the hope of giving one of the youngsters a chance at Old Trafford.
