Who are the coaches?
 
Coaches are Tommy Martin and Neil Ryan…think Les Parry is also on this photo but not sure of the other.

Dominic Moan is the lad we recently got from the North-east.

Two others who are probably involved are Nathan Wolland and Ashley Maddocks.
 
The other GK is Nathan Wolland from Accrington Stanley.More info about him here (second page):

Sounds like we signed him.

Ashley Maddocks is a trialist/guest player from Walsall F.C.So that are four new faces (along with O'Sullivan and Moan) with Monteiro,Levitt,James Thompson and Garner from Marveld squad not taking part in this competition.

We won the game. Maddocks with the winner.

Reds end day one on a high
United's Under-15s had mixed fortunes on the opening day of the Manchester United Premier Cup at the Aon Training Complex.
Torrential rain prior to the first game against Dutch outfit Feyenoord led to a slippery surface and the Reds were beaten 1-0 by a late goal. Goalkeeper Campbell made a string of fine saves to keep the Rotterdam youngsters at bay but had no chance with Choukoud's close-range winner.

United were largely restricted to long-range efforts with Gomes off target from fully 45 yards out on one occasion.

The second Group C fixture of the Nike-sponsored finals for Tommy Martin's team was against Mamelodi Sundowns with substitute Maddocks scoring the only goal of a tight game.

Tanner shot narrowly over the bar with the hosts' best attempt of the first half but Campbell had to be alert to race from his line to thwart Modise. After having a penalty appeal turned down, United finished the game strongly but it looked to be heading for stalemate until the late drama. Makela supplied a tremendous cross and Maddocks steered in a header to end the opening day on a high for the Reds.

U15s' win ensures 15th spot
United's youngsters lost on penalty kicks to Austrian side Sturm Graz in their first game on the second day of the Manchester United Premier Cup. The visitors had thrown away a two goal but held their nerve from 12 yards. However, the day ended on a positive note with a 1-0 win over Weston FC to clinch 15th place.
Tommy Martin's side, buoyed by Thursday's draw with Tigres, started well and Barlow had an excellent chance to put United in front but after rounding the goalkeeper he was crowded out. The Austrians then stunned the home side with two goals in three minutes. First, the skipper Wagnes won possession in the Reds half and advanced before firing an unstoppable drive past Campbell, then Fink doubled the lead, tapping in from Pilz's low cross.

But the Reds refused to lie down and pulled a goal back in the second half when Maddocks turned in from close range after Barlow had lifted the ball over the goalkeeper. Then a scramble in the Sturm Graz penalty area saw the Reds awarded a spot kick for deliberate handball. Barlow kept his nerve to draw the scores level and with the Austrians down to 10 men, United pressed hard for a winner and only a fine last-ditch tackle denied O'Sullivan.

But it was the Austrians who fared better from the spot and with the score at 3-2, Barlow's kick was saved by the Legat to give the visiting side the win. Following a heavy downpour, the sun came out for the Reds' final game of the tournament and Rankin-Costello headed the only goal of the game with Weston.

The Americans battled hard but most of the chances fell to the hosts with Gomes firing narrowly wide, Butterworth heading over the top and O'Sullivan forcing a brilliant save. From the resulting corner by Gomes, Rankin-Costello rose to power the ball home.
Garcia-Murillo went close with Weston's best attempt while United defended well throughout the second half as Butterworth prodded wide from a Gomes through ball and clipped a free-kick off target at the other end with the best efforts for Martin's charges.

The final will be contested between Valencia and Dynamo Moscow at Old Trafford with kick-off at midday on Saturday.

I know that just feel a little surprised that we preferred to play them in these positions in a big tournament like this.Not bode well for Meulensteen to be benched by younger players (not even in their best position) unless he was unfit.Scholarship decision in the next few months.

With Moan not being signed our U15s/U16s likely to play the whole next season without an out-and-out striker.Always surprised me that since Ashley Fletcher no "100% made in United" striker can reach the U18s level.U17s/U16s/U15s (U17s and U15s are not real "age groups" I'm referring to the crops only) all have no striker now.

Goes in cycles…although I agree that it's strange we have so few true strikers in the clubs juniors right now.

Having said that…the quality of front players has been pretty average so not surprising they are being released.
