United confirm entry into the EFL Trophy

The Reds will be entering a young, primarily Under-21, team in the competition, which was also known as the Checkatrade Trophy and started out as the Associate Members Cup. With Liverpool also competing for the first time, it means the Premier League's top clubs are all involved as six of the 16 invited sides who will face the 48 League One and League Two teams.

It should provide more experience for our young Academy players against senior sides from the lower divisions, which can be an important stage in their development.
