Youth Cup at Anfield


United’s youngsters will tread the Anfield turf on Sunday 13 March when the Under-18s meet Liverpool in the FA Youth Cup quarter-final.

The young Reds beat Newcastle 1-0 at Altrincham’s Moss Lane in the fifth round to set up a date with United’s biggest historical rivals. Liverpool, meanwhile, sealed their spot in the quarter-final with a resounding 9-0 victory over Southend.

Youth Cup ties are traditionally played in the evening during midweek, but the teams will kick off at Anfield at midday.

United fans are encouraged to attend the game and will be housed in the lower section of the Anfield Road stand. Supporters can pay on the gate: £4 adults, £1 concessions.

Playing this cup tie on Sunday 13 March means United's scheduled league game for Saturday 12 March, against Sunderland, has been postponed.
