One of the highlights of the game came through a fast team move in which the Reds ended up hitting the post. It was a move reminiscent of the Reds attacking style under Sir Alex Ferguson, turning defence into attack in a matter of moments.

Fortune and Wood seem to have the United youngsters playing in an exciting style which is fantastic news for fans.

First-team prospects Angel Gomes and Tahith Chong both featured tonight but Mason Greenwood was not selected as he prepares for Sunday’s Premier League opener against Chelsea.
