United’s youngsters reached the fifth round of the FA Youth Cup last term, defeating the likes of West Ham United and Colchester United before their run was ended by Blackpool and also advanced to the quarter-finals of the tournament in 2020/21 before losing out to eventual winners Aston Villa at St. James’ Park.
