Rochdale vs Manchester United Under-21s LIVE updates from National League Cup fixture

Manchester United's Under-21s play Rochdale in the National League Cup tonight.

The U21s began their National League Cup campaign against Tamworth in August, but the game was abandoned following a head injury suffered by Sekou Kone and rearranged for December.

United lost 2-1 against Brackley in the competition in September and will face a tough task to bounce back against Rochdale, who are looking to secure promotion to League Two.

Travis Binnion will have a strong squad at his disposal this evening. Chido Obi and Shea Lacey featured in a victory against Tottenham last weekend and the pair are likely to start against Rochdale.
