Fletcher’s U18s aim to shine at Old Trafford

Manchester United’s U18s kick off their FA Youth Cup run tonight at Old Trafford against Peterborough, entering in the third round with big ambitions. Darren Fletcher’s youthful squad — including JJ Gabriel, Kai Rooney, Louie Bradbury and Yuel Helafu — brim with promise.

With eligible U21 talents like Bendito Mantato and Amir Ibragimov available too, United look stacked. If confidence were goals, they’d already be 3–0 up before kick-off.
