United were soon back creating chances at the other end, with McNeill drawing a good save, Garnacho watching a shot blocked after Mainoo was tackled just before pulling the trigger.

Captain Rhys Bennett’s powerful 13th-minute header from a clipped Sam Murray free-kick cross put United in front. The Argentinian winger sealed the victory with his second, finishing past Bott with the help of a deflection in added time after a storming run down the left flank. See how the skipper Rhys Bennett opened the scoring in the FA Youth Cup final... Travis Binnion’s young Reds rose to the occasion in front of a remarkable record-breaking 67,492 crowd at the Theatre of Dreams.
