Manchester United’s under-18 team hosted rivals Liverpool Carrington on Saturday morning with a young squad including a number of players still eligible for under 16 football.
Liverpool were hot out wide and Elich Harrison was checked in the first minute with a low shot from the edge of the box which he held onto well.
United’s first threat came from 15-year-old Shay Lacey, who cut in from the left and floated in a delicate ball that Victor Moussa flicked on goal but was denied by a fantastic save.
James Nolan started the game by bursting and passing the ball to Moussa, who passed to the overlapping Ethan Williams to strike low and hard, which the keeper couldn’t resist, allowing James Scanlon to dive in and tap the ball home in the 14th minute. .
Five minutes later, Louis Jackson intercepted a Liverpool pass in the box but his control was weakened, allowing Liverpool’s 15-year-old Karim Ahmed to touch the ball past Williams’ inbound challenge and lose a penalty. Liverpool captain Terence Miles slotted it into the bottom right corner to equalise.
United were waiting for a quick response when Lacey broke inside the box with his left boot and fired a shot from the edge of the box but the ball was blocked for a corner.
Approaching the half-hour mark, United quickly counter-attacked Liverpool. It all started with a precise long pass from Lacy that split the defense and released Moussa on goal, but the young winger changed his mind and failed his failed attempt over the goalkeeper.
Carelessly cough in possession gave Liverpool a 2 v 1 scenario when Trent Cone-Doherty fired into the center from eight yards but Harrison got to his feet to push it away and push the ball over the bar for a corner. Then Harrison flew out to get him, which was a good result from the summer signing.
United had a chance in the dying seconds of the half when Manny Norkett blocked Moussa and fired low, forcing the keeper to push him back into danger, but Liverpool reacted quicker and knocked on, leaving the score 1-1 at half-time.
A huge chance opened up for United early in the second half when James Nolan played a one-two with Lacey to get to the signature and cut Scanlon for a shot at goal but it was blocked and then fell to Norkett who missed. I don’t get a shot.
In the 60th minute, Lacey once again caused havoc down the right and went past his keeper, who resorted to pushing him, earning a second yellow and an early shower for Liverpool’s Callum Scanlon.
A few minutes later, taking advantage of the extra man, Nolan produced an excellent diagonal pass to Moussa, who shot first time to find Norkett, dive and hit the goal. But the forward couldn’t fully connect to beat the goalkeeper.
But the clinical Norkett was not to make the same mistake as just a minute later it was a back-up service from Moussa as Norkett slotted the ball home from six yards to put United ahead.
United added a third goal in the 82nd minute with a stunning goal from Jace Fitzgerald, a half-volley from over 25 yards that hit the post.

In stoppage time, Rannell Young raced past Jack Kingdon and then rounded Jackson before finishing under Harrison to give Liverpool a late consolation, but it was not enough as United ran out 3-2 winners.
United remain in third place but have four games in front of league leaders Manchester City, who are eight points clear.
