They would still clash with the 15:00 PL kickoffs.

Oh, I thought it was about televised PL games (in the UK). Is it just when any PL matches are taking place at all that the U21's can't be televised?

EDIT: Good to see Kone back from injury. Him and Gore looks an interesting CM partnership for this level.

With the U21's being at home, and the U18's playing yesterday, I was hoping there'd have been a chance this one was on MUTV.

Bad luck (for us, MUTV probably delighted at the excuse) that there's a televised PL game 12.30-14.30. But given that silly rule, you'd think the afternoon PL2 games would start at 14.30-15.00 - then they could be televised, couldn't they?

But, as I say, as MUTV have clearly decided the U21 coverage is the one going to be most cut back, then they're probably delighted at the clash.

Any news on the line ups?

Guess this has more to do with the 15:00 blackout actually.

Yeah, that's probably it.

Though I'm getting quite confused with how that all works now - as can't people watch some EFL games at 3pm on TV nowadays? And I'm sure I've seen women's PL matches being shown on Saturday afternoon at some stage? Not sure why it should still apply to PL2 matches on a teams subscription channel, but there you go.

Thanks. :+1:

I like the midfield CM of Gore and Kone. And it would have been nice to see Harrison again after his impressive loan spell away.

Not sure if they are. But yeah the rule is that you can’t televise Premier League competition games, which PL2 is. Then again so is U18 PL but they are regularly shown during 12:30 kickoffs.
 
Looks like the Nordsjælland game on Tuesday is again not shown on MUTV.

Edit: Luckily FC Nordsjælland will stream it on their YouTube, I think.

The U16s beat Man City 2-1. A goal for Kai Rooney, comeback for JJ Gabriel.

This was actually a U15 Floodlit Cup game, the final one of the initial group stage. They're normally played midweek in the evening (hence the name) but this was a rescheduled fixture so I guess they just decided to play it whenever.

The win sees us top the group ahead of City. We now go into a second group stage where we'll face Leeds, Sheffield Wednesday & Stoke

1-1 draw against Stoke tonight. GK Jonathan Gordon, who was released by United in the summer, saved a pen for Stoke.
 
Looks like we don't even get to see all the U18s' games anymore. Saturday's match at Wolves is not on the MUTV schedule. No mention of it in the latest Academy Briefing either.
