Carlos Borges was star of the show as he scored four against United at Leigh Sports Village.
It wasn’t all plain sailing, though, as, despite the eventual scoreline, we actually went behind early to a Rhys Bennett header.
Instead of letting their heads drop, the City youngsters rallied brilliantly to turn it around in a super second-half performance.
Borges had City level just before the break with the winger adding a further three goals after the interval.
Adedire Mebude and Will Dickson were the other scorers on the day.
