U18s: Leeds vs United (+U21s watch)

He made some cameos last season as an AM or a winger but we'll see what type of a player he develops into, positionally too. He can finish from a range with both feet and is a dangerous player around the box, but we've got plenty of attacking talent in the team so I'm excited to see him play a bit deeper. Was very good in that role last weekend. He'll be an #8 or a #10 in the future.

Think hes another AM who can come off the bench and do a job as a winger. Never seen him come on as a striker. Just good at shooting
Cheers!
 
Brilliant ball from Ibragimov to Scanlon on the left. Good low cross to the far post and Mantato slides it in.
 
Hope we find a loan for Mather in January. Perhaps even Williams. It’s important that Scanlon gets minutes where he can but I think he needs a bigger challenge than the U18s can offer at the minute.

Scanlon is the most important player to this u18s team but probably needs more challenging football
Was about to say the same. He needs to be moved up to u-21s full time soon.
 
Perhaps a bit unfair on Musa, but compared to Wheatley and Biancheri, he does mess up quite a lot of potentially dangerous attacks.
 
Brilliant run by Monro
Musa seems to be so clumsy it took me by surprise how nicely he took the penalty
 
Nice header by the short guy! Well directed into the corner.
 
The Leeds defence is really poor. The shortest player on the field should not score a header from a corner
 
HT:

Leeds 0-4 United (Scanlon, Mantato, Musa, Ibragimov)

Sunderland 4-2 (J.Fletcher, Biancheri)
 
Another very enjoyable and impressive half of football from the U18's.

The U21 first half ended like that recent first leg in Europe, with 3 goals right at the end and in the same order - two for them, with a goal for us inbetween.
 
Nice to see Musa and Scanlon laughing it off after Scanlon (rightly) criticised him in a couple of situations in the first half.
 
U21s:

Wheatley on for Fletcher at HT. So both probably in the first team squad tomorrow. Same thing for Amass who is replaced by Tyler Fredricson.
