Lineups. Very young lineup.
As our kids keep getting better and better we're apparently just going to keep playing them younger and younger! Not even the likes of Pearson and Pereira.
Actually, is Pearson still eligible? To my mind he's still eighteen.

Pearson isn't eligible any more.
There are a few 2nd years in that team who didn't play often last season due to injury or the strength in depth - Goss, McConnell, Evans, Harrop, Willock, Fletcher (someone may correct me on a couple of those).
Pereira seems set for a Januzaj season this year, promoted early to the u21s and see how he copes with playing against older, stronger players and then will drop down for the youth cup games.

This finished 3-0 Goss, Fletcher and Mitchell with the goals. The under 16s won 4-0
Excellent. Bit annoyed this one wasn't available to watch.
Doesn't even appear to be any highlights on the schedule. Hopefully will at least get to see the goals at some point.
Demetre Mitchell scored and assisted today in 65 minutes on the pitch. He will be 17 in January.

U18s: Stoke 0 United 3
Manchester United's Under-18s put the disappointment of their opening-day defeat at West Ham behind them as they recorded an encouraging victory over Stoke City at Clayton Wood.
Paul McGuinness' side controlled much of the play and with a touch of fortune could have at least doubled their goalscoring output. It was a dull, damp and chilly morning in the Potteries, but there was a good turn out to see a fixture that is always feisty and keenly contested.
United had the better of the early chances with midfielder Sean Goss showing up well in attack. Goss’ persistence paid off in the 13th minute when he fired his side into the lead after meeting a left-wing cross from Dimitri Mitchell. And Mitchell went close barely a minute later as the Reds looked to consolidate their early advantage.
The visitors continued to take the game to Stoke and in the 20th minute Ashley Fletcher increased the lead from close range after the Potters’ defence had failed to clear a loose ball.
Stoke should have pulled one back in the 33rd minute when Peter Makrillos failed to make the most of a tempting rebound after United keeper Dean Henderson had pushed away a shot from Derice Richards.
McGuinness' boys wasted no time in stretching their lead following the interval, for within five minutes James Wilson had set-up Mitchell to tap home the third goal.
Stoke improved to some degree in the second half, but United continued to be in charge and certainly looked the more dangerous in front of goal.
Wilson could have had a hat-trick in the latter stages of the contest, but unfortunately Lady Luck wasn’t shining on him. Ruairi Croskery had the ball in the net close to the end, but the assistant referee’s flag was already signalling offside.
United: Henderson; Evans, McConnell, Borthwick-Jackson, Thompson (Ioannou, 71); Harrop, Goss, Willock, Mitchell (Croskery, 65); Fletcher (Riley, 65), Wilson. Subs not used: O’Hara (GK), Redmond.

He is meant to be pretty darn good, I am sure either Mr Mujac or Moo were purring about him on here last season.
He's an exceptionally gifted dribbler. Up there with Morrison at that age if you ask me.
