was on the bench in two games. He played only last 5 minutes against Czech U17.

**JSNFRMN_MUFC** · 26-02-2011, 12:58

Yeah I seen Wickham quite a bit. According to one of the papers today, Arsenal have pulled out of chasing him.

**JSNFRMN_MUFC** · 31-03-2011, 15:02

U18s take on Sunderland today. 1.30pm kick off

Team: Coll; Massacci, Giverin, Fornasier, McGinty; Ekangamene, Lawrence, Daehli, Leao; Morrison, van Velzen.

Subs: Ridge; Sutherland, Gorre, Wilkinson; W. Keane

1-0, Lawerence pen. Will Keane has returned.
2-0, Will Keane. Full time.

Great to have Keano back in time for the FAYC tie and already back amongst the goals, close followers know that he's a bit like Rooney, he can go without a goal for ages and then when he gets one he can't stop so for him to be back in the goals so soon after his return is a big boost.

**JSNFRMN_MUFC** · 31-03-2011, 15:50

Rafael Leao, despite being a DM played as a lone striker today, seems a tad unfair, must have been weird, he'd have been facing the different direction to normal for the most of the game.

On-lookers seemed impressed by Daehli. Watched the Newcastle highlights last night and didn't get to see much of him but he's tiny. Looks like he's got good ball control can't say anything else as I haven't seen enough.

**JSNFRMN_MUFC** · 31-03-2011, 16:24

Says on the Desportivo Brasil website he's a DM.

People watching say he looked lost.

**JSNFRMN_MUFC** · 01-04-2011, 16:01

Adnan Januzaj was there in a United tracksuit, which confirms that move.

**JSNFRMN_MUFC** · 04-04-2011, 13:28

United's U18s are 2-1 down to Liverpool. Lawrence with the goal for us. Half Time.

Devlin, Massacci, Giverin, Fornasier, McGinty, Charni, Lawrence, Pogba, Rafael Leao, Jack Rudge, James Wilson
Subs: Matty Wilkinson, Joe Coll (GK), Will Keane, Louis Rowley, Kenji Gorre

EDIT: Keane came on for Rafael Leao at HT. Great chance for Keane but he pits it just wide 65 mins. Still 1-2. Gorre on for Pogba 68 mins.

**JSNFRMN_MUFC** · 04-04-2011, 15:26

2-1 final score. A young U18s team. First defeat in eight games. A further 45 minutes for Keane is a positive. Very good to have him back. Very good to see Lawrence scoring again. Very good to see the U16s getting a chance.

EDIT: Leao played as a lone striker again and barely touched the ball. Very odd to play a DM upfront alone...

**JSNFRMN_MUFC** · 05-04-2011, 00:21

Highlights of the 2-0 win over Sunderland.

**JSNFRMN_MUFC** · 06-04-2011, 16:20

Highlights of 2-1 loss to Liverpool... if you can stomach it.

FA Youth Cup final dates

Bramall Lane, 17 May.
Old Trafford, 23 May.

The 2nd leg is sandwiched between the final league game with Blackpool and GNev's testimonial with Juve. Hope people don't get put off about going 2/3 days in a row. Great 3 days of football at OT, it'll be like a Football Fest, hopefully weather's good and there'll be 3 days of celebration. No U18s in the final league game if title is already sewn up though, may be a chance for reserve/fringe players there. Don't know much about Sheff Utd's U18s but I can't see this United side losing to anyone unless they get complacent.

**JSNFRMN_MUFC** · 14-09-2011, 23:26

The U18s and U16s played a friendly vs Rochdale U17s tonight. They drew 2-2 and ended the game with 9 men. Ben Pearson got sent off the other reason they ended with 9 was because of injuries. Goals from Gorre and Pritchard.

**JSNFRMN_MUFC** · 24-10-2011, 18:32

United's U18s won the first of their two games on tour in Slovakia this week, beating FC Tatran Presov 1-0 with a Gyliano van Velzen goal.

Team: Coll, Love, Blackett, Wilkinson, McCullough, Ekangamene, Daehli, Rudge, Van Velzen, Januzaj, Barmby.

**JSNFRMN_MUFC** · 26-10-2011, 17:18

U18's won their second game on tour against Russian side Jurija Konopleva Togliatti. Hat trick from Adnan Januzaj and a goal from Jack Barmby gave United a 4-3 win.

Team: Jacob, Love, Blackett, Wilkinson, McCullough, Ekangamene, Daehli, Hendrie, Van Velzen, Januzaj, Barmby.
Subs: Rudge (Love - 62), Sutherland (Jacob - 62), Gorre (Hendrie - 62), Riley (McCullough - 84), Moulden (Van Velzen - 84)

Apparently Blackett was sent off for 2 yellows.

**IrishManc.** · 26-10-2011, 17:46

Good stuff Januzaj. Anyone know who Moulden is ? Trialist perhaps, never heard of him before

**JSNFRMN_MUFC** · 26-10-2011, 18:30

No one knows, the academy followers on twitter don't seem to know either.

Joe Rothwell came on for England's U17's and replaced fellow Man Utd player Ben Pearson.
