Under-18s: Wolves 3 United 2

Under-18 Premier League Cup Group F | Sir Jack Hayward Training Centre | Scorers: Samuels 24, 28, Whittingham 47; Mellor 72, Greenwood 88

Manchester United's Under-18s bowed out of the Premier League Cup on Saturday afternoon as Wolverhampton Wanderers inflicted a surprise 3-2 defeat that defied the form book and the balance of play.

Kieran McKenna's side dominated possession throughout the game, including the period in which Austin Samuels rocked the young Reds back on their heels with a four-minute double. His pair of sucker punches came midway through the first half, and Joel Whittingham headed in a third goal for the hosts just after the break.
