One of the most anticipated games of the season will take place at Carrington on Saturday 15 April, with kick-off scheduled for 11:00 (UK).
Ben Wilkinson’s youngsters will be looking to extend our lead at the top of the table after our 2-1 win over Middlesbrough last weekend moved us back above Sunderland by one point.
Nico O’Reilly scored a spectacular scorpion kick in the closing stages of the match to extend City’s winning streak to six league games.
WATCH: Highlights: Middlesbrough 1-2 City Under-18s
City and United have not met since the reverse leg back in November. Despite a strong performance in the reverse fixture, we suffered a narrow 3-2 defeat at the CFA.
O’Reilly gave us the lead in the first half but second-half goals for Ethan Williams and Manni Norkett left us chasing points.
Although United were reduced to 10 men in the closing stages, James Nolan’s 90th minute penalty extended the vistors’ lead before Matthew Whittingham’s tidy finish pulled a goal back in injury time.
Three points will be far from a formality on Saturday with the hosts looking to return to winning ways after drawing their previous two league matches against Leeds and Stoke.
United are sat in third with 32 points but with four games in hand over City and Sunderland who are 19 and 18 points above United respectively.
