\nFollowing their exit from the EFL Trophy during the week, Manchester United u21s returned to PL2 action hosting Everton yesterday. <\/p>\n

United took an early lead at Leigh Sports Village in just the 7th minute through Joe Hugill. <\/p>\n

Isak Hansen-Aaroen took out the Everton defender with a perfectly weighted through ball to Sam Murray racing towards the byline to cut back for Hugill to slot home from six yards out. <\/p>\n

The young Reds doubled their lead on the half hour mark with a clever free kick from Shola Shoretire. <\/p>\n

After being fouled on the edge of the box, Shoretire stepped up to cleverly roll a shot under the jumping Everton wall and into the bottom left corner.<\/p>\n

Hansen-Aaroen had a chance to make it three just before the break, but the young midfielder could not keep his curled effort on target. <\/p>\n

It went into the break 2-0 to United with Travis Binnion’s side controlling much of the first half. <\/p>\n

Everton pulled one back early into the second half though. A counter attack opened the chance for Sean McAllister to get down the right wing and float a misguided cross straight into the back of Elyh Harrison\u2019s goal.<\/p>\n

United restored their two goal lead in the 79th minute when Hugill added his second of the match and seventh on the season. <\/p>\n

United’s high press paid off and Mateo Mejia was able to win possession high up the pitch to quickly play Hugill into the box to finish low from a wide angle.<\/p>\n

Hugill’s brace was enough to secure the three points for United and move them up to 10th in the table and securely in a play-off qualification spot. <\/p>\n

United: Harrison, Nolan (Kambwala 62), Aljofree, Murray, Bennett, Shoretire, Collyer, Hansen-Aaroen (Huddlestone 73), Mejia, Hugill, Ennis (Mather 46)<\/p>\n

Unused subs: Wooster, Curley<\/em><\/p>\n
