Neither Manchester United nor Stoke City could quite find the breakthrough in Saturday's U18 Premier League clash at Carrington.
A headed clearance fell into the path of Adam Berry, whose first-time volley was palmed away in a point-saving stop from Simkin. Our shot-stopper had to be on his toes again as Stoke looked to counter, but Justin Iwobi sliced his effort into the side netting. United, on the other hand, progressed forward to create even more goal-scoring opportunities in the lead-up to the half-time whistle.

Reaction from the bet365 Stadium as Stoke City head into international break on back of draw with Norwich.
But some officials are really struggling at Championship level and their only consistency is the incredibly low marks out of 10 they receive. “The best thing about being high up the pitch is that you have more time to recover from mistakes you make. In other scenarios if the defender isn't as quick or as good then you have to adapt your tactics and how you press. Jacob Brown got the gig against Norwich and will be hoping he gets more than 90 minutes to stake his case. It’s another thing actually doing it but exciting to think, actually, there is a chance they might and it’ll be fun watching them try. I wasn't as good a one-v-one defender as Huthy so I'd need a bit of cover. They look a strong team, perhaps stronger in certain types of game but certainly very decent at this level; athletic, aggressive and skilful, hard to beat and creating good chances to score. Dwight Gayle has had that role since early February but ideally Stoke need a striker who scores at least a little more regularly. On top of that, only four of the starting XI vs Norwich are under contract past June. In those scenarios when Huthy is the last man we can press high. Here are the talking points from the bet365 Stadium. But it is a big step forward to see and hear supporters looking forward to going to matches, to leave with smiles on their faces and be hopeful and optimistic about the future.

Alex Neil admitted he was 'surprised' at how old club Norwich City set out to frustrate Stoke City in a 0-0 Championship stalemate.
We needed to work around the shape. I thought we were the dominant side through the whole game. I thought we were the better team,” said Neil. But we should still score. "They were hard to break down and hard to get through but having said that, if we'd have scored three goals, four goals, I don't think anyone would have had any complaints. “The keeper has played well for them.
