“The goals were really nice tonight. It was incisive. Some really good individual goals, some great team goals.
“We were a very young side tonight and you wouldn’t have thought that with the dominance of the game and some of the maturity on the ball.”
COMING UP
Many of our young players will now represent their nations during the international break. This is not only always a matter of great pride to our players, their families and the club, but a valuable learning experience. The boys will leave the Carrington environment where they spend most of the season, train and play with different team-mates, under different coaches and adapt their games accordingly. As they look to carve out long careers in the professional game, these are key skills to pick up. We wish them all good luck for their upcoming fixtures.
Our U18s and U21s will not be in competitive action during this time. The U18s are next scheduled to play on Saturday 29 March against Sunderland and the U21s two days later at Leeds United. However, with the FA Youth Cup semi-final to be played in these next few weeks, we’ll keep you updated on any changes to those fixtures.
