U19s: United 0 AZ 0
Manchester United's Under-19s were unable to overcome a 2-1 first-leg deficit at Old Trafford, and were thus knocked out of the UEFA Youth League by AZ Alkmaar on Tuesday night.
Over 180 minutes of closely contested football, the Dutch side - who won the 2022/23 competition - came out on top despite United dominating possession for large parts of both legs.
The young Reds threatened to turn things around under the lights in front of several thousand at the Theatre of Dreams, but AZ stood firm with a well-organised defence.
The players participated in a minute's applause to celebrate the life of Kath Phipps, who we sadly lost last week.
