Manchester United 5-2 Derby U23s highlights and reaction as Hannibal and Fernandez star

Manchester United are back in U23s action on Friday night when they host Derby County in Premier League 2, with kick-off at 7pm from Leigh Sports Village.

United head into the match in sixth place in the top division of youth football, while visitors Derby sit at the bottom of the league with only four wins all season. The Reds could climb up to fourth in the table if they avoid defeat in the match.
