Mads Timm, David Jones, Giuseppi Rossi were on the scoresheet as Manchester United's reserves beat Macclesfield Town's second-string 3-1. 120 watched on at Moss Rose as the visiting Red Devils won the Pontins League Cup tie.

The Manchester United reserves opened up their Pontins League Cup campaign with a 3-1 away victory against Macclesfield Town. Strikes from Mads Timm, David Jones, Giuseppi Rossi and cancelled out an early Jassin Fayadh goal to give the victory to the visitors.

It was another impressive performance from the United second-string in front of about 120 as Moss Rose. A special mention must go to youngster Giuseppi Rossi, with the striker a pre-season acquisition who looks the business. Reports suggest the teenager could be on the verge of a first-team call-up, and his performances for the reserves would warrant a nod for the seniors.
