Finley McAllister makes debut
Finley McAllister came off the bench in the 89th minute to make his debut in Radcliffe’s 5-1 victory.
He came on with Radcliffe 4-1 up, with the team adding a late fifth to put the finishing touches on their win.
The manner of the victory was a surprise, considering Radcliffe were bottom of the league heading into the game.
First taste of action
This was a brief first taste of senior football for McAllister, who has represented England at youth level.
National League North side Radcliffe are back in action at the weekend, giving the youngster another opportunity to stake his claim.
United also have 11 players out on season-long loan deals, including several of McAllister’s academy colleagues.
