United Reserves win title!


United's Reserves are champions of the Barclays Premier Reserve League North for the first time since 2006.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and Warren Joyce's side were mathematically crowned on Tuesday evening when Liverpool, the only side who could catch the table toppers, lost to Everton. The Toffeemen's last-minute victory at Prenton Park leaves Liverpool nine points behind United with only two games to play.

United's two remaining league games, against Burnley and Wigan, are now dead rubbers, but the Reds will face Aston Villa - southern league winners for the third season in a row - in the Barclays Premier Reserve League Playoff at Old Trafford.
