Manchester United Under-18s have been crowned FA Youth Cup winners after a 3-1 victory over Nottingham Forest at Old Trafford on Wednesday night.
Travis Binnion’s young Reds rose to the occasion in front of a remarkable record-breaking 67,492 crowd at the Theatre of Dreams.
Rhys Bennett's early goal and Alejandro Garnacho's second-half double secured a victory over the hard-working Forest side.
Everyone at United is immensely proud to see this young side win a record-extending 11th FA Youth Cup. It is our first triumph in the tournament since 2011, when current first-team players Jesse Lingard and Paul Pogba were involved.
