Darren Fletcher’s young Reds have shown their quality regularly so far this season, dominating some opponents and showing grit to overcome others, but faced a resolute Forest side on Saturday lunchtime.
United’s next Academy game is for the U21s, at Barnsley in our second EFL Trophy game of the campaign. Away tickets are available here, and there will be live coverage on SkySports+. The U18s are back at Carrington next Saturday, hosting Sunderland in a midday kick-off.
This result leaves United on 15 points from seven games, level at the table’s top with Manchester City.
