It was the club’s first league title since the 2017/18 season, with a squad featuring Teden Mengi, Brandon Williams, Matej Kovar, Ethan Laird, Ethan Galbraith, Dylan Levitt, James Garner, Tahith Chong and Mason Greenwood.
Overall, Adam Lawrence’s Manchester United U18 were crowned under-18 Premier League Cup champions, under-18 Premier League North champions and under-18 Premier League champions, completing a trophy-laden 2023/24 season.
This clean sweep of trophies provided a pathway into the first-team for some youngsters such as Toby Collyer and Harry Amass who are both part of Erik ten Hag’s squad this season, continuing the United heritage of trusting in the academy.

The reigning champions picked up where they left off, brushing aside rivals Manchester City with a 2-0 win thanks to goals from Gabriele Biancheri and Bendito Mantato, who were both on the end of well worked team moves.
Head coach, Lawrence handed new signing Dante Plunkett, who was previously in the books of Aston Villa his official debut for the United under-18 in the second half with victory all but secured.
This positive start brings a lot of optimism for the remainder of the season, with other highly rated youngsters such as Samuel Lusale and Chido-Obi Martin set to join this already well-oiled machine.
United currently sit in 5th place in the premier league north with a game in hand after playing one match, and host arch rivals Liverpool in their next league encounter on Saturday as they have a premier league cup meeting with Leicester City on Tuesday.
