Man Utd kids targeted for kicking - Dudgeon

Manchester United youngster Joe Dudgeon admits Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's reserve team is targeted by opposition regularly.

"It was a hard battle," he told manutd.com of their win over Wigan Athletic. "I thought we played the better football. They just looked to battle and looked to overpower us. I thought we handled it well; we didn't react to their fouls, so we just carried on playing football and that eventually won.

"We just keep playing one touch and two touch, and teams don't like that. If they can't get the ball they get frustrated and try to kick us, and we're used to that now and we just get on with it. If we hadn't won I'd have been gutted. We definitely deserved to win it."
