Manchester United U18s booked their place in their first FA Youth Cup final in over a decade on Wednesday with an emphatic win over Wolves.
A Charlie McNeill brace and a wonder goal from the ever-reliable Alejandro Garnacho - who has just been called up to Argentina's national team alongside Lionel Messi - saw United secure their spot in the final. Old Trafford witnessed the next generation of stars strutting their stuff as they booked their place for a shot at silverware.
On course to the final, they have beaten Scunthorpe, Reading, Everton and Leicester. Travis Binnion's side are within 90, possibly 120, minutes of breaking an 11-year wait for United to have their name etched on the prestigious youth trophy once again, with Paul Pogba, Ravel Morrison and Jesse Lingard part of the last squad to be crowned champions.
