The Reds continued their good start to the season with a comfortable 5-0 win over Huddesfield Town at Storthes Hall this morning.
United fielded the usual suspects but named a triallist, Lee Askham on the right side of midfield. Askham, and England U/17 international, is currently on Sheffield United's books.
The Reds started brightly and both sides could have scored, with Ajose particularly wasteful for United. Then on 41 minutes Federico Macheda opened the scoring with a well taken goal after hitting the bar some minutes earlier. Town could have troubled United on a couple of occasions but poor finishing let them down.
Half time: Huddersfield 0 United 1
In the second half, United stepped up the tempo and with Norwood and James pulling all the strings in midfield, keeper Amos was hardly tested. Further goals followed for Ajose four minutes into the second half and Askham added a third on 59 minutes. 20 minutes into the second half Stewart and Curran came on to replace Ajose and Askham and Cameron Stewart added United's fourth five minutes after taking the field on 70 minutes. With 15 minutes to go, captain Matthew James added a fifth and Huddersfield were well and truly beaten.
