Neil Wood will be hoping his young Manchester United side continue their brilliant early season form as they travel to Newcastle United tonight.
It will be United's third game of the season and a victory would see them keep their 100 per cent record and probably keep their place on the top of the table, though West Ham also have a 100 per cent record and face Reading tonight.
A United side that has been without key players such as Mason Greenwood, Tahith Chong and Angel Gomes due to their first team involvement have impressed so far this season.
They destroyed West Brom 5-0 in their opening game thanks to a James Garner inspired performance and then ran out 2-0 winners at Leigh Sports Village against Reading last week, with goals from D'Mani Mellor and Garner.
Hopefully ther will be more of the same tonight.
Follow below for the latest updates from United youth's clash with Newcastle.
