Manchester United's FA Youth Cup final against Nottingham Forest SMASHES competition's attendance record with more than 70,000 tickets sold for Old Trafford finale - with Harry Maguire among packed-out crowd

More than 70,000 fans descended on Old Trafford on Wednesday night to watch the FA Youth Cup final between Manchester United and Nottingham Forest - smashing the attendance record for the competition.

United confirmed on Tuesday afternoon that 63,500 tickets - priced at just £1 - had been sold for the showpiece game with all receipts going to the club's charity foundation. That has since risen north of 70,000.

The crowd pictured inside Old Trafford far exceeds the previous Youth Cup attendance record of 38,187, set for the first leg between Arsenal and United in March 2007.
