McNeill returned to United in 2020 after a prolific spell at Manchester City. He has regularly found the net in the U18 Premier League and UEFA Youth League as well as in this competition, where he’s led the line every time for United. A fantastic servant of United for eight years (2008-2016) in his role as Reserves manager, Joyce led the side to several notable achievements, including five league titles. The 17-year-old has developed into a fine forward since joining Forest from a grassroots Sunday league club in his early teens. The 17-year-old Englishman plays at no.10 for Forest but was sadly stretchered off injured in their semi-final. He’s been a consistent threat throughout the tournament and has shown good league form too. The match will be played at Old Trafford on Wednesday 11 May (19:30 BST) and supporters are encouraged to support the team by attending. His finishes have been varied, from an acrobatic finish to down Scunthorpe and a wonderful late solo run against Everton to a drilled free-kick and accurate left-footed strike against Leicester and an emphatic curler to seal the win versus Wolves. First came the Jimmy Murphy-led five-time winners (1953-57). The Busby Babes catapulted United to the English title and the conquering of Europe seemed sure to follow until the Munich Air Disaster. Travis Binnion’s side have enjoyed a relentless fixture schedule since the FA Youth Cup semi-final against Wolves on 9 March, with 13 matches played. The FA Youth Cup is one of the world’s most prestigious and storied youth football tournaments. It sparked United’s greatest period of success, and the members of the 1992/93 team made a combined 3500 appearances for the club. It has been a privileged run, playing all-but-one game at home and at English football’s biggest club stadium.

HITC Sport take a crack at a combined XI for Chelsea and Liverpool ahead of the 2021/22 FA Cup final later this month at Wembley Stadium.
With 30 goals in all competitions and the favourite to win the PFA Player of the Season award, Mohamed Salah has been arguably Liverpool’s most important player this campaign, and the winger will be looking for silverware in the FA Cup final against Chelsea. A standout shout for the PFA Team of the Year and the rock in Liverpool’s midfield, Fabinho has been outstanding this season, and the former AS Monaco star more than deserves a spot in this combined XI for the FA Cup final. The first keeper this season in Europe’s top five leagues to register 20+ clean sheets and a force of nature between the sticks, Alisson has been outstanding for Liverpool this year, and the former AS Roma star will be key if the Reds are to best Chelsea in the FA Cup final.

And at the same time, how do you even begin to equate a score and a performance like Chelsea 1 Real Madrid 3 with a score and a performance like Real Madrid 2 Chelsea 3? These past couple of months, our club has been obliged to try and concentrate while an unprecedented amount of noise is going on in the background – and increasingly in the foreground. Against West Ham, Christian Pulisic’s 90th-minute shot into the bottom corner had the supreme effect of absolutely obliterating the hour and a half which preceded it and enabled everyone practically to bounce out of the stadium in a state of euphoria. How do you even begin to reconcile a score and a performance like Chelsea 1 Brentford 4 with a score and a performance like Southampton 0 Chelsea 6? For it’s important to have a proper historical perspective on our appearance in the final this year, and for this I invite you to go back 22 years. So, back north for the final we go – and taking with us, I hope, a spring in our steps and a glint in our eyes.
