United line up. Devlin. Massacci. Giverin. Fornasier. McGinty. Ekangemene. Lawrence. Pogba. Laao. Ridge. Wilson

Wilkinson. Coll. W. Keane. Rowley. Gorre. A very young bench

From ManUtdReserves's twitter

Sterling also starts for Liverpool's academy.
 
Hope they are not going to play Laao up front again. Sounds like he struggled last week in this position.

He is regarded by his club in Brazil as a defensive midfielder.
 
Anyone have any input into who Rowley or Wilson are?

Be great if Rowley was related to Jack Rowley.

Do you mean Leao?
 
I bet Rafael Leao plays in midfield and was only used up front because he hadnt been able to train with team mates yet and they didnt want to play Keane all game. But they did want Rafael Leao involved
 
He will be playing in the midfield according to Nick Coppack
Young Brazilian Rafael Leao starts again for the Under-18s. Doesn't look like he'll play up front today.

James Wilson, played for England in the Victory Shield last weed. Left winger i think but can play across the midfield i believe. And even up front as I think he later in the game vs NI. And today maybe..

And Louis Rowley. The guys who watched last years Premier Cup will be able to tell you more than me... I think he's a CB..
 
Academy games aren't regularly on MUTV, usually just highlights.
 
23 mins gone. Liverpool take the lead. They look much bigger stronger and better than us. 0-1

...
 
Wonderful volley from egangemene. Brings a great save from the keeper. 58 mins. Still 1-2

Great chance for Keane but he pits it just wide 65 mins. Still 1-2. Gorre on for pogba 68 mins

Liverpool team is Stephens, Rafferty, Smith, Sama, McGiveron, Rodden, Hajdu, Sterling, Adorjan, Ngoo, Morgan

Not their strongest either - 6 of them started the FAYC match
 


That Lawrence goal (10m15s) reminds me of the one Edmundo got against us in the World Club Cup. Great to see him try the flick for someone so young. He's beaming with confidence at the moment.
 
I like Lawrence as a player, he's come on well this season and scored some very good goals of late. He looks so comfortable on the ball and very good feet.

Rudge looks a tidy player too.

Charni was very unlucky not to score his first goal, cracking save by their keeper.
 
Charni's starting to look like quite the player. Great to have Keane back, seems to have put in the hours in the gym during his time out.
 
Lovely skill from Lawrence for the goal. Bergkamp-esque

Shame to see Rafael Leao stuck up front again. Hardly any touches from the highlights and sounds like he doesn't really know what to do
