Yep, but that's all the schedule says.

This game is not listed on the MUTV schedule.
However, that may be due to the fact the game was arranged only a few days ago and the schedule hasn't been updated.

This is also postponed 
Bloody hell. They don't have any free Indoor pitches at Carrington ?
what's with the postponements? and why can't even a friendly work out?
Not surprised, it shat it down with snow last night.
Have a friendly today with City at 1:30pm at Platt Lane.
David's forehead?
Qué?
David Platt
Line-up; Gollini, Love, Rowley, McNair, Grimshaw, Rudge, Harrop, Rothwell, Barmby, Pereira, Daehli.
Six midfielders, shame we cant watch this one unless you go down to Platt lane because this line-up looks capable of some excellent possession football, albeit without the conductor Pearson. Good to see Pereira back.

That's a barca style lineup if ever I saw one... no forwards, and six midfielders, including a couple of techno-midgets up top. Wonder where Wilson and Byrne are?
7 if you include McNair.
Gail Platt?
U17's getting smacked ?
6-2 down?
1-0 Pereira after an hour. Under 17s losing 6-3
Final scores 1-0 and 3-6
No info on line-up and scorers in the u17 match?
Pereira, Evans, Barber, McConnell, Ioannou, Wilkinson, Riley, Willock, Fletcher, Thompson, Mitchell...

Cheers.
Glad to see Harrop playing, hopefully we'll get to see more of him as the season goes on, he's one I'm looking forward to seeing the most.
U18s win derby friendly
Andreas Pereira scored the only goal of the game in bizarre circumstances at wintry Platt Lane.
Chances had been few and far between in the Under-18s’ friendly match, but in the 61st minute, an inexplicable lapse by City keeper Ian Lawlor allowed United to snatch the deciding goal.
Minutes earlier, the Northern Ireland youngster had made a brilliant save to deny fellow countryman Patrick McNair but, after the Reds’ next attack had broken down, the young keeper allowed the ball to slip from his grasp as he attempted to despatch the ball upfield.
The ball fell to James Weir whose snap-shot was blocked, but Pereira was on hand to snaffle up the rebound and drive the ball into the Blues’ net.
Both teams had to contend with a broad spectrum of elements which included high winds, driving rain and the occasional outbreak of bright sunshine, but stuck to the task to produce a feisty contest.
United had the better of the first half with Jack Barmby posing the biggest threat in front of goal, but even he had trouble with the direction of his shooting.
At the other end United’s young Italian keeper Pierluigi Gollini made one or two vital, if sometimes unorthodox, saves to keep the City attack at bay. The second half was much more finally balanced with both teams failing to put a finishing touch to their approach play.
Meanwhile, on an adjacent pitch United’s Under-16s were beaten 6-3 by their Manchester City counterparts.
United: Gollini, Love, McNair, Grimshaw, Rowley; Rudge, Harrop (Weir 46), Rothwell, A.Pereira, Daehli (Pearson 46); Barmby. Sub not used: Sutherland.
