Manchester United Under-18s suffered their tenth consecutive league defeat as Sunderland ran out 2-1 winners at Carrington.

A young team put out by Paul McGuinness fell behind after seven minutes when Luke Molyneux cut inside from the byline and, with Tyler Reid backing off, fired an effort past George Dorrington.

Led by skipper Callum Gribbin, United fought their way back into the game and were rewarded when Indy Boonen turned in a back-post header across the goal.

But that work was undone shortly after the break when Dan Casey lost his marker from a corner and headed the visitors back in front.

Gribbin went close on a few occasions with testing free-kicks but could not find a way past the Sunderland stopper.

United's next game sees them up against holders Chelsea in the FA Youth Cup on Friday.
