Manchester United vs Nottingham Forest LIVE FA Youth Cup final highlights as Garnacho scores winner

Manchester United have confirmed there will be a sell-out crowd at Old Trafford for the FA Youth Cup final.

United’s U18s host Nottingham Forest on Wednesday night and the club’s youngsters will play in front of a full capacity Old Trafford as they bid to win the Youth Cup. More than 70,000 tickets have been sold for the match, including 6,000 away fans.

United are looking to win the Youth Cup for the first time since 2011. Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard and Ravel Morrison featured in that side, but the club’s latest youngsters, Alejandro Garnacho, Kobbie Mainoo, Dan Gore and Charlie McNeill, are now looking to extend United’s rich history in the prestigious competition after a memorable campaign led by manager Travis Binnion.

The Reds have won the Youth Cup (10) more times than any club and they’ll be bidding to extend that record.

It has been a miserable season at United and the club’s youngsters have been the only positive.

United fans go wild as Garnacho scores twice

A number of Manchester United supporters have reacted to highly-rated attacker Alejandro Garnacho scoring twice late on to secure the club their first FA Youth Cup title since 2011, beating Nottingham Forest 3-1 at Old Trafford on Wednesday night.

After seeing Rhys Bennett’s 13th-minute header canceled out by Forest’s Joshua Powell just a few minutes before half-time, United restored their lead with just 12 minutes left on the clock through the popular Garnacho, who scored from the penalty spot. He felt Aaron Bott the wrong way in the Forest goal to all but seal the Under-18s their first Youth Cup crown in 11 years.

However, United were fortunate to earn the penalty that put one hand on the trophy. Zach Abbott clearly caught Garnacho after taking too heavy a touch, but the foul was made outside the penalty area and a free-kick should have been awarded.

GOAL! 3-1 UNITED!

GARNACHO AGAIN!

90 + 2′ – MUN 2-1 NOTRichard Fay

CHANCE!

United should have a third. Garnacho breaks at pace but only has eyes for goal as he blazes over the bar. Had he past his side of him would have secured the cup.

90′ – MUN 2-1 NOTSteven Railston

Eight minutes added on

Wow, that’s some time left to play.

88′ – MUN 2-1 NOTSteven Railston

The players are fatigued

Every youngster on that pitch has worked their socks off tonight.

Mather eats off

Mather comes off.

Aljofree comes on.

That’s a winger off for a defend.

Bennett gets a yellow

United just need to see this game out.

77′ – MUN 2-1 NOTRichard Fay

Garnacho covers in style

Never a penalty, but what a cool finish.

Garnacho hasn’t done much tonight but he nipped in to win the penalty and then finished it with ease.

75′ – MUN 2-1 NOTKEY EVENT

GOAL! 2-1 UNITED!

GOAL! 2-1 UNITED!

Garnacho converts from the spot.

PENALTY TO UNITED!

PENALTY TO UNITED!

Garnacho is brought down.

However, that wasn’t a penalty, it was outside the box – poor decision.

73′ – MUN 1-1 NOTRichard Fay

Stretford End find their voice

United are enjoying their best spell of the second-half and the Stretford End are finding their voice again. Fifteen minutes left and it is even poised. A goal would win this for either side, if not, we’ve got extra time and maybe penalties.

70′ – MUN 1-1 NOTSteven Railston

20 minutes to go here

Forest have a player down for cramp.

66′ – MUN 1-1 NOTRichard Fay

McNeill wasn’t happy at coming off

Charlie McNeill has a chat with Travis Binnion as he is replaced by Joe Hugill. He didn’t look happy about it, but he has hardly been in the game at all tonight.

64′ – MUN 1-1 NOTSteven Railston

United make a double change

McNeill and Hansen off.

Hugill and Oyedele on.

61′ – MUN 1-1 NOTSamuel Luckhurst

United have faded after their bright start

United have been quite aimless for most of this and they are preparing a change or changes down below us. They made a purposeful start to this half but Forest came through it with a minimum of fuss and Gore and Mainoo have not had enough time on the ball to control the game.

57′ – MUN 1-1 NOTSteven Railston

This game could go to penalties

There has to be a winner tonight.

There could be extra time and penalties if the score stays the same.

53′ – MUN 1-1 NOTSteven Railston

CHANCE!

Chance for Forest but Bennett blocks.

50′ – MUN 1-1 NOTRichard Fay

This has been a bright spell

A really good spell for United in the last couple of minutes. They have so many talented young players that there is always the chance of a goal from nothing.

49′ – MUN 1-1 NOTSteven Railston

This is better from United

This is better from United, who have started the second half well.

McNeill has just gestured to the crowd for more noise.

48′ – MUN 1-1 NOTRichard Fay

Vitek has continued

That was a worrying knock for ‘keeper Vitek but he’s okay to continue. Sub shot-stopper Wooster was getting ready to come on just in case.

46′ – MUN 1-1 NOTSteven Railston

Brave start from Vitek

After making the mistake for the goal, Vitek has taken a knee to the face with a brave save.

45′ – MUN 1-1 NOTSteven Railston

We’re back under way

Here we go.
