Manchester United are facing Crystal Palace in the Under-18 Premier League Cup final.

Darren Fletcher's side progressed past West Ham United at the last-four stage, with a 3-1 win, at Carrington last week.

Gabriel levelled for the Reds in the first half and, after it remained 1-1 after 90 minutes, extra-time strikes by Nathaniel-Junior Brown and Rooney earned victory for our youngsters.
