  • Kick off at 12pm BST, Wednesday
  • Ro-Shaun Williams is unavailable due to his participation in the Under-17 World Cup
  • Marcus Rashford is out with the injury

Under-19s coach Nicky Butt told MUTV: "It's a good test for us. Obviously, it's about travelling to a different part of the world and how to cope away from home, being outside your comfort zone.

"It's a difficult environment, I would imagine it will be cold out there. We'll do a bit of training beforehand to get some patterns of play going. It's been a good start but, for me, it's more about how we play as a team and individuals - not points and the league.

"It's great to be at the top but, more importantly, we've got to play better than we did against Wolfsburg."

Highlights of the game will be shown this Thursday on MUTV at 19:30 BST.
 
We're really short of attacking options especially up front.Looks like it'll be 3 CMs with Roberts starting up front and Gribbin-Dearnley supporting him.Fosu-Mensah likely to move to the back as well.

So that didn't happen.Fosu-Mensah stayed in midfield with Redmond starting upfront.
 
Actually it's Gribbin up top.

Don't worry guys, we won at PSV at youth level away and lost at senior level. So, maybe losing at youth level is good omen for senior level :nervous:
 
Seems we got whacked. Wonder if it was on the counter sort of thing or just outplayed.

This group also seems to lack balance.

we were outplayed in first two games where we had much stronger side then today, think its safe to say that they outplayed us today.
 
Caught the highlights. It obviously wasn't a good performance but 4-0 seems very harsh. Two of the goals were cheap penalties (while our equally legit shout wasn't given), there was some poor individual defending from a few of the lads and we left ourselves somewhat exposed as we chased goals from 2-0 onwards. But we weren't completely outplayed, we were unlucky not to score a goal or two, and if Rashford is back, revenge will be served not-so-cold in Manchester in less than two weeks.
