Manchester United men's only chance to win the title this season comes from the 18-year-old youth team's England Youth FA Cup. The Red Devils are in the final to compete for the Title with Championship's Nottingham Forest Youth Team, which is played at Old Trafford and has sold nearly 30,000 tickets so far.
This season's FA Youth Cup final was played on a one-legged tie-breaker format, with the match scheduled at Old Trafford and Manchester United sitting at home. Manchester United's tickets to Nottingham Forest youth began on sale last Tuesday and have sold 28,000 in a short period of time.
According to the rules, there are no restrictions on ticket sales for youth teams, so It is very likely that United will open the second and third floors of the stands, allowing Old Trafford to fill 75,000 spectators. Tickets are very cheap, only £1 is needed to cheer, equivalent to 8 yuan 35 cents, all proceeds will be allocated to the Manchester United Foundation for charitable purposes.
The FA Youth Cup final will be held at 19:30 local time (7 hours difference) on Wednesday, May 11, and manager Travis Binnion will strive to lead Manchester United to win the title for the first time since 2011. In the history of the tournament, Manchester United has won a total of 10 titles, the most brilliant team, but has not won the title for many years.
In this FA Youth Cup, Manchester United eliminated Scunthorpe United, Reading, Everton, Leicester City and Wolves to advance to the final. The visiting team, Nottingham Forest, is the first time in team history that it has veteran United fans and former reserve team coach Warren Joyce.
Joyce has co-led the team with Solskjaer, won the Premier League reserve league several times, and continued to lead the Manchester United second team to dominate the under-23 league after the departure of the manager, and is the godfather of the under-23 level. After eight years in charge at Manchester United, Joyce was invited by Wigan Athletic, who was playing in the Championship at the time, to serve as the first team manager, but failed to coach wigan and Hull City, so he returned to the academy. This season, he has created another magic, leading the forest to eliminate Bristol City, St. Petersburg United, Cambridge United, Blackburn and the powerful Chelsea, reaching the Youth FA Cup final for the first time in history, facing the old club.
At present, Manchester United has two top scorers in the youth 600-goal team, Charlie McNeill, and "New C Ronaldo" Alejandro Ganganjo, who have scored a total of 10 goals and 7 assists in this FA Youth Cup, of which Ganganjo, who plays on the left, has contributed 5 goals and 5 assists, and center McNeil has 5 goals and 2 assists.
Midfielder Kobe Bryant Meno and forward Isaac Hansen-Aaron are also famous players in Manchester United's youth system, the 16-year-old Meno is known as England Pogba, and Hansen is introduced by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer from his hometown norway. In addition, right-back Mark Hurado is from Barca's La Masia Academy.
On the bench, United also have "new Crouch" Joe Hugh Gill, Ian Ennis, who was recruited from Liverpool, and French centre-back Willie Kambuwala and other good players. Shola Shoratire, who has already entered the first team, is also an age-appropriate player and can also compete if needed.
