United v Trafford FC:
Tonight's team and subs.
1. Henderson 2. Riley 3. Borg 4. Tuanzebe © 5. Williams 6. Scott 7. McTominay 8. Thompson 9. Croskery 10. Rashford 11. Mitchell
12. Reid (2) 14. Gribbin (8) 15. Borthwick-Jackson (3) 16. Kehinde (7) 17. Dearnley (11) 18. Obi (9) 19. Dorrington (1)
United won 1-0 after a good goal from Marcus Rashford. A fairly even game with both teams having a few chances to score.
We seemed to play a flat back three with two wing-backs switching to a flat back four with Charlie Scott pushed into MF and playing just in front of the defence.
Borg looked tidy…very pacy with good tackling. He seemed to prefer jockey opposing forwards rather than diving in. He played about 60 mins.
Obi got the last 30 mins but didn't have time to show much.
The photo that Khoazany posted above was taken just before kick-off. Borg is in between Mitchell and Williams.
The two Portuguese trial lists were there (plus a few U/16's) but didn't get on.

Who played well last night?
Everyone had a solid game…Borg looked lively, Charlie Scott when he ventured forward was ok. Probably Jordan Thompson until he got injured.
Both teams cancelled each other out really.
Interesting to see we played with two wing backs. Can't remember us playing with that system in either youth teams or first team.
Probably something to do with the number of CBs we have and will have (assume Mensah's deal still on).
Yeah, thanks boss. video already discussed in the right thread.
Another fixture tonight at Altringham it seems.

Will it be on MUTV?
O'Hara; Vermijl, Thorpe, McNair, Varela; Janko, Harrop, Petrucci, A.Pereira, Lawrence; Wilson.
Trialist in goal then... never heard of him. Lol at Max Harrop.
Lol! Horrible attempt at spelling Kieran O'Hara that. Harrop's brother seems to have to have the midfield too..
In case some aren't able to read tweets:
Manchester United ✔ @ManUtd
#mufc Reserves XI v Altrincham: O'Hara; Vermijl, Thorpe, McNair, Varela; Janko, Harrop, Petrucci, A.Pereira, Lawrence; Wilson.

Isn't the name just mis-spelt? And meant to be O'Hara? Or perhaps some new guy.
I wouldn't be amazed if the scoresheet will be something like 5-5 with that midfield three.
Where is Pearson anyway?
Where is Pearson anyway?
Looks like we've seen the last of the legend that is Bebe in the reserves! No more retrieving the ball from the parking lots for the ball boys
Will they show this match somewhere?

1-0 United - James Wilson slides home Pereira’s low centre. Very much a deserved lead.

The MUFC Academy @mrmujac · 2m Petrucci with an absolute screamer! Hit it with outside of foot from a full 35 yards...what a goal! 2-0
What could have been, a career destroyed by injuries
, i hope he gets a new club soon.Petrucci still plays for our reserves? Jesus, he was the main guy in the reserves when Ronaldo was still here
Nick @ManUnitedYouth · 14m
3-0 - Petrucci’s second, scrambling home at the second attempt after a brilliant run into the box from Lawrence
Nick @ManUnitedYouth · 11m
Tom Thorpe has been pretty much flawless today, making the game look absurdly easy.
Nick @ManUnitedYouth · 9m
Lawrence so close to pulling off a Bergkamp vs Leicester (only not a fluke, obviously). Keeper got out to block but admirable audacity
Nick @ManUnitedYouth · 2m
4-0 - McNair smartly glances home a Pereira freekick. And then promptly departs to be replaced by Ryan McConnell

Pereira 2 assists, and Petrucci we still have enough room for you.
Henriquez was injured and replaced by C.Evans
Finished 5-0 Evans with the final goal
That's more like it lads! Was this on MUTV/anywhere else? I forgot about it completely...
Nah, not telecast anywhere.
Our Reserves is playing Barnsley at the moment.
Eifion Evans @ewe64 26m
Starting XI v Barnsley: J Pereira, Vermijl, Varela, McNair. Thorpe, Pearson, Janko, Rothwell, Lawrence, A Pereira, Harrop
Nick @ManUnitedYouth 45m
Subs: O'Hara, A Fletcher, Love, C Evans, Willock, Petrucci, Goss, Wilson, Henríquez, McConnell.

10 mins gone and Harrop scores a cracking solo goal with an angled rocket of a shot to finish. 1-0

Harrop is on fire!
Adam Marshall @AdamSMarshall 51s
Josh Harrop doubles the lead for #mufc Reserves on 32 minutes with another slick finish.

Effectively strikerless? Looks like Spain's Euro 2012 4-6-nothing (or 4-2-4) to me, with Harrop as Fabregas.
Lawrence probably up front.
Could be, I suppose. Probably a similar effect though.
Classic from Joyce.3 strikers on the bench and no striker on the field! #JoyceForSpainNationalTeam
