Live on MUTV. We're missing at least Gomes, O'Connor, Moutha-Sebtaoui, Buffonge, Barlow, Boonen & Chong.

What's happened to Angel Gomes. Haven't seen him in ages.
 

Seems it's not too serious, as he's played with the injury a couple of games, and he was originally called up by England (he would've missed this anyway, as they start their tourno tomorrow). So I guess it was touch and go, but then again he's missed almost the whole last part of the season.
 
Tanner out of the team with an injury, Barrett replaces him in the starting XI.
 
Bright start from United. Gribbin shot a yard wide from outside the box, Burkart should've scored from Kenyon's brilliant cross.
 
And Arsenal score from their first shot. Bad defending, but Richardson was not standing in the right place there, easy finish.
 
It's a small sample of the whole season. Dominate early, create a few really good chances, fail to score, the opponent punishes from the few opportunities they have. Even when we've won big, we could've, and should've scored more. The amount of work to score one goal is crazy in some games.
 
Arsenal midfield controlling the game after the goal. Kenyon and Hamilton with a strong play, Burkart in front of an empty net from a yard out, but puts it over. HT 0-1.
 
We haven't created good enough chances today tbf, except for that Burkart's chance at the end of the half.

Doesn't look like there's anyone on the bench who can make a difference so the starting players need to do better in the 2nd half.

Sounds like the 1st team

I think Burkart's first one from Kenyon's cross was decent, as was Dearnley's half break away.
 
Malen from Arsenal looks a decent player, if he could finish a move.
 
Our core of Warren-Dunne & Whelan-Hamilton is being dominated today 100-0. Arsenal's strong midfield have done what they've wanted since the goal.
 
At long last my first opportunity to watch the u18. Joined at half time and until now they are awful.
Though many are missing, but expected far more.

Should have been 3 by now...
 
U18 debut for Garner as Burkart comes out with a knock. Burkart worked hard, but missed two easy chances.

Well this is not the match to judge them tbf. 6 key players missing, 4 best goalscorers among them.
 
Willock with his second of the afternoon, 0-2. The young United side is being schooled.
 
That goal looked so easy... and went right through Richardson
 
We're giving the opponent way too much respect here. Even our tall players seem so timid today.
