The young Red Devils had to fight for their 4-2 victory against a battling young Cannery outfit, but quality prevailed in the end and Brian McClair's outfit were victorious at Old Trafford.

Nicky Howell shocked United on the 14th minute with a fantastic strike but a Matthew Halliday O.G leveled up the match at half-time.

Young, promising Cardiff born striker Ramon Calliste got a goal from the penalty spot on the 84th minute to round off the game but not the scoring.
