The latest news from the Manchester City academy as the blues were beaten in the under-18 Premier League Cup final against rivals Manchester United - and will now turn attentions fully to the FA Youth Cup final in a fortnight.
It wasn't to be Manchester City's day on Tuesday, as they were beaten by rivals Manchester United in the Premier League Cup final.
At full time, City players sank to the turf almost in unison and the fireworks had barely finished before head coach Ben Wilkinson ushered his players down the tunnel as United lifted the trophy. From disappointment comes the positives, however, with 16-year-old Stephen Mfuni impressing again and scoring as he continues a record-breaking campaign.
His performance was even more remarkable considering that he had spent a full day at school before linking up with City and turning in a fine final showing. "He's outstanding for a boy of his age," head coach Ben Wilkinson told MEN Sport, revealing an impressive record achieved this season. "I know he's played more minutes for the under-18s and under-21s than any other under-16 we've ever had. So that gives you an idea of what we think of him.
"It's not nice losing finals but being on the receiving end in that moment, watching the opposition going to collect the trophy is not a nice moment for any football team. We've got a great opportunity in two weeks to play in a massive game, it's just about recovering from this one and paying attention to that."
