National League Cup tie at Tamworth rearranged

Thursday 04 September 2025 18:00

Manchester United Under-21s' abandoned National League Cup fixture at Tamworth has been rearranged for Tuesday 16 December (19:45 GMT).

The original match was brought to an abrupt conclusion when United midfielder Sekou Kone suffered a head injury and had to be taken to hospital as a precaution. Sekou has since recovered well.

At the time of the game's abandonment, neither side had scored, although both teams had created good chances.

The tie at Tamworth was abandoned when Sekou Kone was taken to hospital as a precaution.

Tickets for the original fixture are able to be reused for this rearranged fixture.

United were followed by a healthy travelling support, for which players and staff were very grateful, especially given the ultimate circumstances of the way the game was cut short.

The new date means our opening group-stage game in the National League Cup will now be against Brackley on Tuesday 16 September.

That match will be shown live on MUTV. We then face Rochdale and Solihull Moors before the Tamworth trip.
