Manchester United won the Sparkasse & VGH Cup for the second successive year, despite taking an Under-17 squad to the five-a-side competition in Germany.
The youngsters won a penalty shoot-out 4-3 after a 1-1 draw with Austria Vienna in the final, with D’Mani Mellor scoring in regulation time, and goalkeeper Jimmy Thompson saving two spot-kicks.
