Grandson of Leeds, Juventus legend Charles fires Man Utd out of FA Youth Cup

The grandson of Leeds United and Juventus legend John Charles helped bundle Manchester United out of the FA Youth Cup last night.

Jake Charles now leads the line for Huddersfield's U18s.

With scores locked at 1-1, United defender Ben Barber conceded a penalty for a tug on Jake Charles, the grandson of former Leeds and Juventus striker John.

Charles stepped up to take the spot-kick himself and powered the ball past Pereira to seal a hard-fought victory.
