More than 67,000 Manchester United fans on Wednesday descended on Old Trafford as the club’s Under-18s defeated Nottingham Forest 3-1 in the FA Youth Cup final.
The turnout comfortably broke the record for the highest-attended game in the competition's history, which previously stood at 38,137. The final was also the first in front of a crowd since 2019.
Aston Villa beat Liverpool in last year’s final after Manchester City beat Chelsea the year prior, both being played behind closed doors amid the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2019, Liverpool beat City on penalties in front of supporters.
