FA YOUTH CUP HISTORY

United are the most successful club in FA Youth Cup history, winning the competition on 10 occasions (1953, 1954, 1955, 1956, 1957, 1964, 1992, 1995, 2003 and 2011) and reaching a further four finals (1982, 1986, 1993, 2007).

The club's best performance in the last few years was a semi-final appearance in 2019/20.

PAST MEETINGS

United and Forest have met only once in the U18 Premier League this season, with our home fixture against Warren Joyce’s side set to be played four days after the Youth Cup final on Saturday 15 May (12:00 BST).

Earlier this season (6 November 2021), the two Reds met at The Nigel Doughty Academy and a goal in each half, first from Nottinghamshire-born striker Manni Norkett and then Sam Mather, secured victory for United.
