It's been a great summer so far for United's Reserves and Academy sides.

Paul McGuinness' Under-18s won the Milk Cup in Northern Ireland after a 2-1 success over Sheffield United in the final.

It's world-renowned youth tournament and McGuinness was delighted that the Reds had become the first team to win the trophy two years in a row.

"It's a great achievement," he said. "Quite a few of these players can come back next year, so maybe we'll make it three in a row.

"The conditions were difficult but we dealt with it well. The second goal was a magnificent team goal, so hopefully we entertained the crowd as well."

In the Reserves, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's young guns won the WVO Tournament in Holland in pre-season.

The Reds then kicked off the new campaign with victory in the Lancashire Senior Cup final.

United beat Bolton Wanderers in the final thanks to a late goal from Federico Macheda (pictured above with the trophy).
