U18s: United 2 Bolton 0 | Quote: | United's youngsters shone on Wednesday night, as the U18s beat Bolton Wanderers 2-0 to register yet another victory in the Premier Academy League.
Goals from winger Cameron Stewart and striker Federico Macheda handed the Reds a fourth consecutive win - the team's eighth in 10 matches - to leave Paul McGuinness' side third in the league.
Manchester City currently top Group C, United's regional division of the league, with 29 points from a possible 33, with Everton nipping at their heels on 28.
Stewart got the opening goal for the Reds after 26 minutes, then with just over quarter of an hour remaining former Lazio striker Macheda, who joined United in the summer, got the second. The 16-year-old Italian is now top scorer for the U18s with five goals in six games.
United's next competitive test comes with a trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday 10 November, although the Academy team will be in action between 6 November and 8 November in the Pele Trophy. Organised by Sheffield United's Academy, the tournament pits the Blades' youngsters against squads from United, Sao Paulo and FC Porto.
United: Amos; McCormack, Strickland, Gill (Norwood 61), Derbyshire (Ajose 61); Bryan, James, Eikrem, Stewart; Brandao, Macheda.
Subs not used: Woods, Curran, Potts.

Federico looks like he will be a fantast player in the future I think.
