Manchester United Under-23s risk relegation.
The Manchester Evening News says their three-and-a-half month search for a new Under-23 manager could end with the chosen successor to Warren Joyce taking on a relegated side.
The Reds first team is on the up and the potential of the Under 18s is creating plenty of excitement but the 'reserves' are facing the drop from the Premier League 2 division one.
The Under 23s lost at home at Leigh Sports Village on Sunday to Reading 2-0 and others results in the division saw the Reds reserves end the day just a point off the bottom two positions having played a game more than Spurs and Leicester City. They have just five matches left to get themselves out of the mire.
