A record crowd watched Manchester United and Nottingham Forest contest the FA Youth Cup final at Old Trafford - with plenty of luminaries among them.

United sold 67,000 tickets for the match - priced at just £1 with proceeds going to the club's charity foundation - though there were patches of red seats around the stadium.

Legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson watched on from the director's box, with current first-teamers Harry Maguire, Phil Jones and Scott McTominay also in the stands.
