Manchester United fans have been praising the club’s Under-19s side for their eye-catching football, despite being knocked out of the UEFA Youth League on Tuesday.
The young United side exited the competition at the last 16 stage on penalties after drawing 2-2 with Borussia Dortmund in the 90 minutes. Charlie McNeill and Rhys Bennett had equalised twice for the hosts at Leigh Sports Village before they went down 3-1 in the shoot-out.
Many supporters deemed United’s youngsters to have been worthy of the win, producing some slick football and they might have progressed but for some tight offside calls and a strong penalty claim turned down. The eventual loss did not distract United fans from the display put in by Neil Wood’s side.
