Goals from Rhys Bennett and Alejandro Garnacho (2) contributed to a 3-1 victory over Nottingham Forest in the final last week, as United won the prestigious competition for a record-extending 11th time.
A colossal 67,492-strong crowd was present for a magical Old Trafford night. As head of Academy Nick Cox wrote in an open letter to United fans the day after the match: “You have had a genuine impact on youth development with such an incredible display of support.”
As the players celebrated their achievement afterwards, with a slide in front of the Stretford End and then the trophy lift, they met a group of young Reds.
