Manchester United Under-21s drew 0-0 with Nottingham Forest in our penultimate fixture of the Premier League 2 regular season on Friday night.
The game, being played at the Loughborough University Stadium, burst into life just after the 10-minute mark, when Forest’s Jimmy Sinclair had a goalbound shot blocked less than 60 seconds before United’s Charlie McNeill saw an effort cleared off the line at the other end.
McNeill was the young Reds’ primary scoring threat on the evening, and again went close to an opener on 24 minutes when his low strike from inside the box was saved by goalkeeper Aaron Bott.
