Manchester United demolition highlights Man City U21s off-pitch progress

After racing into a two-goal lead within 15 minutes, City were boosted by a red card for United defender Sonny Aljofree on Saturday and a quick third that killed the contest. United would try and limit the goals against them from that point, bringing on 36-year-old coach Tom Huddlestone, and the second half was a much slower affair.
