Just shy of 1,400 United fans were at Stockport County's ground to watch our Under-21s achieve a penalty shoot-out victory over the League Two side on Tuesday night, to earn two points in the EFL Trophy group stage.

Cox now hopes to see fans attend Saturday’s league match against Stoke City at Leigh Sports Village (12:00 BST kick-off).
