Our development squad take on Man United in the penultimate away game of the Premier League 2 season. You can watch the game live on the 5th Stand app, the website or our YouTube channel on Friday evening.
Kick-off time and coverage
We get underway at 7pm at Leigh Sports Village and coverage on our platforms will start shortly before kick-off. A full match report will be available on the website shortly after the final whistle.
Last time out
Our last game was against Tottenham on Sunday afternoon. Goals in the game came from George McEachran, Thierno Ballo and George Nunn while Harvey Vale’s header has since been recognised as an own-goal. The win sent us up to second in the table at the time.
The opposition
Manchester United are ninth in the table on 28 points. We last met before Christmas and it was a 6-1 win at Kingsmeadow as the Blues run riot that day. Marcel Lewis (2), Jude Soonsup-Bell, Tino Anjorin (2) and Charlie Brown were on the scoresheet and the win left us in pole position over the festive period.
