EFL Trophy 'our best games' - Man Utd U21 coach

Manchester United Under-21 coach Travis Binnion says the EFL Trophy provides a great experience for Premier League academy players, even though only one club out of 16 has made it through to the last 32 of this season’s competition. Defeats for United, Manchester City, Arsenal and Nottingham Forest in the final round of matches mean Aston Villa will be the only top-flight representatives in the knockout stages. No Premier League academy side has reached the final of the tournament since academies were first allowed to enter in 2016-17, amid huge controversy.
