Match Review: Manchester City U18 0-2 Manchester United U18

The season started with a bang for the United kids, back for a new campaign after utterly dominating last season and very nearly going the entire league unbeaten.

Manchester City, at all levels, have a stacked bank of talent. The U18s are a bloody good team and today they demonstrated that. 56% possession, 16 shots. The issue is that United are far more clinical. 7 fewer shots, but both sides had 5 on target - and United scored two.

United were on the back foot from the start, with City having a handful of chances before Tyler Fletcher hit a tame effort at the City keeper in the 12th minute. That seemed to wake United up and Biancheri could have given United the lead four minutes later.

Murdock was a busy lad in net for the remainder of the half, though Tyler Fletcher had another effort in the 41st minute - and again a curled low effort that was a little too easy for the keeper.

After the restart and Bendito Mantato's driving run down the right and into the box fizzed one across the ground to backpost where Tyler Fletcher skied over under pressure from the City defence and cramped out by his own teammate James Scanlon.

The opener came minutes later though - Gabi Biancheri poaching a lovely driven pass from wide right from Tyler Fletcher, finally rewarded with a goal involvement.

City pushed on to pressure United, but minutes later came goal number 2: a well worked passing move between Scanlon, Biancheri, and through the line to Baumann, whose acute cutback into the box was aimed for the run-on of Biancheri the striker but found Bendito first. Left foot, curled right, buried bottom corner. Lovely stuff.

The noisy neighbours put the pressure back on to United, but as the weather turned in classic English summer fashion, so too did City's dominance of possession water down. Subs of hot prospects Amir Ibragimov for Scanlon, and Jim Thwaites for Tyler Fletcher, gave United fans a glimpse of the U18s team to come, but it wouldn't be a Manchester derby without a little spice to finish the affair.

Will Murdock rushed out in the 79th as the last man to win the ball. He also got the man and luckily escaped with a yellow card. City then had a penalty shout in the 91st minute, while United were fouled AFTER the final whistle in a little bit of snide shithousery from a frustrated City.

https://ift.tt/V27bUf9 by startts There were many things that people could say about Roy Kent. He was one of the last great hard men of football. He was the man who could’ve brought it home, if only England’s gaffer gave a shit about uniting their team, of getting past club rivalries to focus on one goal. A man with a right foot kissed by god, and a left foot kissed by the devil. You never knew which one he was going to attack with - because Roy Kent was equally proficient with both. Who was Jamie Tartt? A Manchester City Academy legend. Homegrown talent, with an unmatched skill for reading the pitch - at the U17 level. He’d played for England U17, U18, and had played two matches for England U21. And, in Jamie’s humble opinion, he was criminally underused at the club that raised him. It was the 3rd of December, 2016, and Chelsea, on a seven-game winning streak, was coming up to the Etihad.

Who is James McConnell? 18-year-old midfielder training with Liverpool first team

Who is James McConnell? 18-year-old midfielder training with Liverpool first team James McConnell has been making the most of his time since joining Liverpool, and it's no surprise that he has now been recognized as part of the first team. Alongside more experienced players, McConnell and a group of young players have been invited by Jurgen Klopp to participate in the team's pre-season training camp in Germany. Although McConnell, who is 18 years old, may not have had as much exposure at the senior level as Bobby Clark, Ben Doak, and Melkamu Frauendorf, nor does he have the football legacy of Lewis Koumas, or the high transfer fee that brought Calum Scanlon to Liverpool, those who have been closely following the Academy have always recognized McConnell's potential. He is known for his energetic and attacking style of play, and he first made an impression when he joined Liverpool's under-18 team at the age of 16 after transferring from Sunderland's U15 team. McConnell made a strong impression during his first start in the U18 Premier League North, scoring a great goal that contributed to a 2-1 victory against Stoke City in February 2021. Throughout the 2020/21 season, under the guidance of U18s coach Marc Bridge-Wilkinson, he consistently played at that level and showed progress, leading to him signing his first professional contract shortly after his 17th birthday in September 2021. During that season, McConnell showcased his versatility by playing in various midfield positions, both in attacking and defensive roles. He even played on the left side and scored a goal in the 4-0 win over Everton U18s in the derby match. However, it was the following season when McConnell truly excelled. He started the campaign as a key player in the central midfield for the U18s and scored in the 4-2 victory against Manchester United. His contributions extended to Liverpool's UEFA Youth League run, where he made a significant impact in the 2-1 win against Napoli, setting the tone for the team. He went on to start six out of eight games in the competition, helping Liverpool reach the quarter-finals. In addition, McConnell had the opportunity to play for the U21 side in the EFL Trophy. He played the full 90 minutes in an unusual right-back position during a narrow 1-0 defeat against Rochdale in September. Liverpool's confidence in McConnell was further demonstrated when he signed a new long-term contract the following month. He then made his debut in the Premier League 2, playing in the second half of the 2-1 victory over Everton in the mini-derby. However, McConnell experienced a setback when he suffered an injury, which kept him sidelined for several months. Fortunately, in February, he made his return to the U18s squad and immediately made an impact by scoring goals in consecutive games against Manchester City and Nottingham Forest. "We have missed James when he has not been available due to injury," said Bridge-Wilkinson after an impressive showing by McConnell in a 4-0 win at Newcastle United in April. "I thought he was really good at Newcastle. Obviously he is one of the older players in our group and he played with a mature head. He has got a lot of quality and I thought he showed that." Towards the end of the U18s campaign, McConnell continued to make an impact by contributing a goal and an assist in a subsequent match. He also achieved another milestone by scoring his first goal in the Premier League 2 when he came off the bench and headed home the only goal for the U21s in their final match against Crystal Palace. With upcoming friendly matches against Karlsruhe on Wednesday and Greuther Furth the following Monday, McConnell will aim to impress Jurgen Klopp and the coaching staff in the hopes of earning playing time. Given his track record, it would not be surprising if McConnell adds another notable achievement to his growing list of accomplishments during these upcoming days.

Nottingham Forest are ‘keen on’ Morgan Rogers and would like to sign the 19-year-old on a season-long loan this summer, says Paul Taylor of The Athletic. Rodgers joined Manchester City from West Bromwich Albion in 2019 and has gone on to make six appearances for the U18s, six appearances for the U19s and 25 appearances for the U23s. He’s scored a total of nine goals and made five assists in 37 games at youth level. The 19-year-old, who has represented England at youth level, has yet to make a first-team appearance for City, so he was loaned out to Lincoln last season and went on to make 28 appearances in all competitions, scoring six goals with four assists. Rogers played with Brennan Johnson at Lincoln last season and could renew acquaintances with the 20-year-old at Forest this campaign. Time will tell. The Athletic add that Forest are interested in signing Rodgers permanently but would have to pay £9m. Forest discovered the wide-man when they were monitoring Johnson’s loan at Lincoln and the CEO Dane Murphy wants younger signings through the door, so a move should be on the cards.

Match Review: Manchester City U18s 1-2 Manchester United U18s

MANCHESTER IS RED (go with it)

When United are mint, everything is mint, and fuck me are United's Under-18s mint - and also double winners. Up the fucking reds!

United started strongly at Leigh Sports Village, with a driving run and fizzing shot from Ethan Williams in the 3rd minute testing City keeper Brits. Three minutes later and Ruben Curley was doing the exact same again, but to no avail. Then, one minute later, magic happened.

A deep ball from just over the halfway line by Nolan lofted into Ethan Wheatley's path perfectly, but the touch and control to bring it down into a shooting action was technique Dimitar Berbatov would have applauded. Unreal composure and confidence, and topped off with a great finish at the near post past the stunned Brits.

City came back at United, and the game opened up into more of a back-and-forth affair, trading shots on goal, but United's organisation kept a very tight defensive structure and limited the Citizens from any real threat on Elyh Harrison's goal - not that the wunderkind needs too much help. Kid's a future star keeper.

The middle of the half approached and Harrison punts a goal kick up field towards RW James Scanlon. The Gibraltan international nods the ball wide to attacking full back James Nolan, who drives a curled pass forward along the ground into the path of Ethan Wheatley. A defender slides, he knocks it, but Wheatley has the pace. He nips in, rounds the keeper, slots home. 2-0 United and LSV is in bits. SCENES.

City kept up the battle though, and a great killer through ball nearly opened United up in the 34th minute but for a huge body interception and block by Harrison in net. City captain Heskey was potentially fouled in the United box by Jack Kingdon - no foul given though - but otherwise come half time there could be no complaints at United's lead.

The second half was more City, with United making substitutes for rotation's sake but also due to the dearth of depth in the first team squad meaning certain promising youngsters have been requested by Erik Ten Hag for Wednesday's Premier League game against Sheffield United.

Both sides had reasonable chances on goal but nothing too serious until Stephen Mfuni nodded home from a corner to give City five minutes of hope... which was almost realised but for a fantastic full-stretch save by Harrison off Alfa-Ruprecht's header.

City's play and persistence did deserve a goal, and with the arguable penalty in the first half, on another day it could have been a different affair. It is nice to see the best two teams make the final though, and make it a memorable contest.

It's the result that matters though, and the silverware is ours. The league and now the cup. What a bunch of lads.

Two games remain this season - both at home. Sunderland visit us this Saturday, and then there's one last game versus Everton on May 4th. Lets end strong. GGMU.

The Frenchman is a new Atlético de Madrid player after our club reached an agreement with Olympique Lyonnais over the loan of the striker until the end of the season.

Atlético de Madrid have reached an agreement with Olympique Lyonnais over the loan of Moussa Dembélé until the end of the season. The Frenchman (Pontoise, 12 July 1996) passed his medical at the Clínica Universidad de Navarra and is now a Red & White player.

A powerful striker, Dembélé has a knack for goal and is a strong finisher. He started his career at local club Cergy Clos before joining the PSG academy. At 16, the Frenchman moved to English club Fulham, where he played for the U18 side and won the prestigious Premier Academy League. The striker made his first team debut at 17 against West Ham in the 2013/14 season, and his performances earned him a spot in the France U21 squad. Dembélé enjoyed a fantastic 2015/16 season at Fulham – netting 15 goals and providing seven assists.

He moved to Celtic FC in the summer, where he continue to progress as a footballer. The Frenchman became the key striker in Brendan Rodgers’ side that won the treble, providing 16 goals and nine assists in the 2017/18 season. Dembélé played in the Champions League for the first time during his stay in Scotland. In fact, he netted five goals in the competition, including a brace against Manchester City in his first season at Celtic FC.

The striker moved to Olympique Lyonnais in summer 2018. Since then, he has scored 45 times and provided 13 assists in his 108 games at the French club.

With Dembélé’s arrival, we add a young yet experienced footballer who’s strong both physically and as a finisher. His height also makes him a threat in the air and his speed allows him to run past the opposition’s defenders.

Welcome, Moussa Dembélé!

The 47-year-old has led City’s Under-18s for the past three seasons, having previously overseen the Club’s Under-16s.

Taylor succeeds Nick Cushing, who also started his coaching career in City’s Academy before spending six trophy-laden years with Manchester City Women ahead of his recent switch to New York City FC.

After five years of overseeing the Club’s Under-16s, Taylor made the switch to City’s Under-18s in the summer of 2017 and led the team to successive Premier League U18 Cup victories in 2019 and 2020.  

Following the recent conclusion of the Barclays FA Women’s Super League season, Taylor will start his new role immediately and will be assisted by Alan Mahon who held the reins on a temporary basis earlier this year.

Speaking about his new role, Taylor said: “I’m absolutely delighted to have joined Manchester City Women and I’m extremely excited about the challenge ahead with a very talented group of players and staff who have enjoyed a lot of success in recent years.

“I’m really honoured to have been appointed to this role and I can’t wait to get started with our preparations for another thrilling and competitive Barclays FA WSL season in 2020/21.

“I’ve been very fortunate to have worked with some great people within Manchester City and the Club’s Academy so far, but I’m absolutely relishing my new role within City Football Group and I’ll be giving everything I have to continue Manchester City’s success and growth in the women’s game.”

Head of Women’s Football Gavin Makel added: “I’m delighted to welcome Gareth into the role of Manchester City Women’s Head Coach.  

“Over the last few years, I have been fortunate enough to see first-hand the qualities that Gareth possesses. Not only in terms of his abilities as a coach who develops individuals, but also in the way that he leads, whilst exuberating the values and ethos that we hold dear as a Club.   

“I am looking forward to working with Gareth as we enter this new era for the women’s team in which I am confident that we can continue to build upon the successes that we have had over the last six years.

“I would also like to add my thanks to Alan Mahon who stepped up in light of Nick’s departure and who continues to be an integral part of our operation.”
