Under-18s report: Manchester United 3 Chelsea 0
08 Dec 2018
Our youngsters suffered their first defeat since August as they were
beaten on a difficult morning in Manchester.

The Blues were behind early on after D'Mani Mellor opened the scoring and
further goals were added in the first half courtesy of Di’shon Bernard
and Brandon Williams. Andy Myers's side were improved after the break but
failed to find a route back into the cup contest, meaning they finish
runners-up to United in Group F of the Under-18 Premier League Cup.
Our cup defence can still continue if we finish as one of two best
runners-up at the conclusion of the group stage, though that now depends
on other results and a nervous wait for the holders.
Myers shuffled his pack for this group decider in the Under-18 Premier
League Cup, making four changes from last weekend's home win over Reading.
Ethan Wady came in between the sticks for his first start of the season,
while Jordan Aina, Henry Lawrence and Armando Broja returned higher up the
field.
It was also a change of system for our youngsters as they lined up with a
4-2-3-1 shape, spearheaded in attack by Thierno Ballo. Broja, Lawrence and
Marcel Lewis supported the Austrian, while Clinton Mola partnered Jon
Russell in central midfield.

Jordan Aina, Jack Wakely, Sam McClelland and Ian Maatsen started from
right to left across the back four, hoping to extend a clean sheet run of
four in the last five outings.
However, it was United who started brightest on a chilly December morning
at Carrington. The Reds had much of the early possession and soon started
to carve out chances, with Mason Greenwood's effort into the side-netting
from the left proving an early warning.
The warning went unheeded and Neil Ryan's side soon took the lead with 11
minutes on the clock, exploiting a short pass back from McClelland and
breaking the deadlock through Mellor, who slotted a tidy finish past the
onrushing Wady.
Myers's men were lacking their usual sharpness in tempo and accuracy in
the pass, though United were playing a part in that courtesy of a
high-pressing game plan. It paid dividends as they doubled their advantage
midway through the first period, former Chelsea schoolboy Bernard rising
high in the box to meet Arnau Puigmal's deep free-kick and heading across
goal into the far corner.
With the group winners plus two of the best runners-up advancing to the
quarter-finals of this competition, the visitors were well aware that goal
difference could be significant if they finished second in Group F. They
finally settled after half hour and started to probe in the opposition
half, though it was United who threatened again next as Greenwood fired a
free-kick narrowly over the bar.

It wasn't until three minutes before the break that we tested James
Thompson in the home goal after Mola's blocked shot fell nicely for
Russell to strike, though the keeper was equal to a tame low effort from
our midfielder.
The damage was compounded seconds later as the Reds burst down the other
end to add a third. Charlie McCann advanced on the break and swept an
inviting pass forward for Greenwood, who in turn teed up Williams to steer
the ball into the bottom corner.
Myers made changes in personnel and system at half-time, introducing
Marcel Lavinier and Dynel Simeu as he reverted to a three-man defence,
which sparked an immediate improvement, though opportunities were still
few and far between.

Russell shoots but brings only a routine save from the keeper
Ballo leaped at the near post to flick a header towards goal following a
left-sided delivery but it lacked the power to trouble Thompson, before
Aliou Traore fired narrowly over down the other end after another swift
counter-attack from the hosts.
The Blues probably shaded the second half and ought to have reduced the
deficit. Lawrence fashioned a sight at goal but shot straight at Thompson,
while Simeu should have done better in the air as Lewis's corner hung up
invitingly for him.

The defender then went close as a loose ball ricocheted around the
six-yard box but he couldn't quite force it over the line and that
frustration summed up a tough morning for our youngsters.
These two sides meet again in cup competition in nine days as our FA Youth
Cup defence begins at Leigh Sports Village. Our youngsters will be boosted
by the availability of development squad regulars Tariq Lamptey, Billy
Gilmour, Daishawn Redan and Tino Anjorin, while both Callum Hudson-Odoi
and Ethan Ampadu are still young enough to be involved.
