McBurney got 2 and Riley 1 - all 3 scored in 5 mins between the 11th and 16th min.
United through to a record 11th Milk Cup final.

The lads won the Milk Cup tonight. Oliver McBurnie, who is actually from Bradford and only called into our squad because of injuries on 'work experience', scored the only goal in the final against Tyrone. In injury time no less.
Teaching them early!!

Andreas Pereira looks a cracking prospect. Croskery is impressing as well. Pereira had the best compilation video I've ever seen when he joined. I remember he was playing for Belgium in some tournament and it was like he was 5 years older than the other players, waltzing past them. He was chased by every big team in Europe too. Could be a smashing player. |

Let me qualify that-best compilation vid of a youngster! He was named player of the tournament. I hope he progresses and gets first team opportunities. Reserves first though I guess... |

Who else do you think will make it? Heard good things about Wilson. Not sure how old he is.

Pearson could be a good player I think. Haven't been able to watch the kids as much as I used to SET would be your man. Mitchell is supposed to have something as well. Barmby and Cole.

Its amazing that Belgium is suddenly having these many players i'd Say , wouldn't mind One  or two those first XI players in our squad. saw some Vids of Pearson and he looks good , hope to hear more good things of him |

Who else do you think will make it? Heard good things about Wilson. Not sure how old he is. James Wilson? If he continues to progress as he has done, he will be a very, very good striker. Top bracket. Has everything: great movement, bit of pace, superb finishing for someone so young. And I mean superb. It's a shock when he misses a chance. All the cliches they were throwing at Owen when he was breaking through and more. adeepershadeofred.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/how-good-is-james-wilson-very.htmlHow good is James Wilson? Very.In Texas at the weekend, United's youngsters signed off after their Dallas Cup adventure with a fairly low-key if decisive 5-0 win over Coritiba. As is routinely the case, the name James Wilson figured among the scorers. This time the 17 year old striker, who signed professional terms with United in December, grabbed himself a hat-trick before the Under-19s squad, of which he was a conspicuously youthful member, boarded the plane back to Britain. It's been pointed out to me by more than one United fan that we very rarely bring out and out strikers through from the youth team. Until Danny Welbeck arrived, not since the emergence of Mark Hughes in the early eighties had a forward from the under-18s established himself firmly in the first team squad. That may be changing. Will Keane looked poised to make the step up before his injury on international duty last summer and, when Will returns, he may well find that Biddulph-born Wilson is knocking on the same door close behind him. Wilson's goalscoring record at youth level is remarkable. He'd already scored twelve times in the early part of this season while still a 16 year old, before injury forced him out of action until his return recently. Those twelve goals included five in a single game against Newcastle in September. However, it's the unfussy nature of Wilson's finishing that most impresses. Having played for the youth team as a schoolboy last year, you might allow a certain excitability to creep in when he puts the ball in the net in a United shirt. Not a bit of it. After scoring, Wilson invariably turns and trots back to the centre circle, job done, rather than indulging in lavish celebrations. The goals he scores are often Van-Nistelrooy-like, simple, unspectacular and clinical. Like Welbeck, he appeared for the youth team while still a schoolboy and played for the reserves at only sixteen. But it's what he brings to the rest of the team that makes me inclined to believe Wilson can go all the way at the club. There's plenty of creative talent in that United under-18s midfield - Pereira, Daehli and Pearson are all talents to watch - but unless Wilson, or the also improving Sam Byrne, provide a focal point, their attractive play can ultimately fizzle out. Byrne does this job effectively, but it's Wilson who has that something extra that sets him apart as one to watch for the future. Perhaps most crucially, there's little sign that any serious work will need to be done to keep Wilson's feet on the ground. Wilson's performances are those of a player who's aware he's doing a job at this level, that he's working his way methodically up to something better, and that, unlike too many youth prospects in recent years, he doesn't believe he's a superstar simply because he gets to put on a United kit week in week out. Ravel Morrison he clearly is not. As Steve Hobin and Tony Park's Sons of United book has brilliantly documented, it's common for United squads to be liberally scattered with names who've come through the youth team. It's less common, however, for our forward options to be heavily dominated by such names but, when Van Persie and Rooney have hung up their boots, what odds on the prospect of a United forward line featuring the names of Welbeck, Keane and Wilson as three options alongside Chicharito? Nothing against the others, but my money'd be on Wilson to be top scorer. Posted by Mark Nevin at 18:07 |

Hmm that's nice to hear about Wilson esp the fact that he ain't a Morrison, hopefully will get to see him in the near future in the first team Squad

I'd say Reserves first. Then maybe a loan spell, but if Moyes is as good about promoting our youth as he was with Everton I could see Wilson getting the occasional run-out for the first team by 2015.

Everton was a diff bowl all together , don't see him doing that here simply cos the pressure to meet with the financial demands mean we can't/ won't take chances with youth that much sadly

I know. It's hard to know if it was the financial restrictions or if Moyes really did have faith in the young players.
Although from the tour, it would hopefully suggest he's at least hoping to give our best prospects a taste of the first team, which is the best you can hope for at our level I think.
