Manchester United vs Nottingham Forest FA Youth Cup fixture and ticket details confirmed
Manchester United will face Nottingham Forest in the FA Youth Cup final on Wednesday 11 May, with kick-off from Old Trafford at 7:30pm. Tickets for the match will cost just £1 with all proceeds going to the Manchester United Foundation.
United are the most successful side in the history of the prestigious youth football competition, while opponents Forest will be playing in the final for the first time in their history.
Travis Binnion’s side secured their place in the final by beating Wolves 3-0 in the semi-final last month. Charlie McNeill scored twice and Alejandro Garnacho once, as the U18s won their fourth match to be played at Old Trafford in the competition so far this season.

United's route to the final began with a home win over Scunthorpe United, before beating Reading away. Since then, Binnion's side have defeated Everton, Leicester City, and most recently Wolves at home.
On the other side of the draw, former United reserve manager Warren Joyce guided Forest to their first ever FA Youth Cup Final with a memorable late 3-1 victory over Chelsea at The City Ground earlier this month.
Joyce, who spent eight years at United, also led his side to wins over Bristol City, Peterborough, Cambridge and Blackburn Rovers before their historic win over Chelsea.
United are the most successful club in FA Youth Cup history, with 10 tournament victories. Their last victory came 11 years ago with a squad that featured Paul Pogba, Jesse Lingard and Ravel Morrison.
Tickets can be purchased from the Manchester United website and any further details will be announced in due course.
