BBC Sport will stream the FA Youth Cup final between Manchester City and Manchester United on Thursday.<\/b><\/p>\n

In an agreement with TNT Sports, the match will be available to watch on BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website and app. <\/p>\n

Manchester United’s senior head coach Michael Carrick is confirmed to attend as the Red Devils, bidding for their 12th Youth Cup trophy, face 2024 winners City, who were runners-up to Aston Villa last year. <\/p>\n

Carrick, an FA Youth Cup winner with West Ham in 1999, said he was “disappointed” City had turned down United’s offer to host the showpiece at Old Trafford. <\/p>\n

City, designated the home side, have named the 6,000-capacity Joie Stadium as the venue for the final, amid ongoing work at Etihad Stadium.<\/p>\n

For the first of their four Youth Cup victories, City beat United 3-1 in the 1986 final, played across two legs at Old Trafford and Maine Road.<\/p>\n

Director of BBC Sport Alex Kay-Jelski said: “This is a brilliant occasion featuring two outstanding academies and some of the brightest young talent in English football. <\/p>\n

“We’re really pleased that, through this collaboration, fans who can’t be there in person will also be able to watch the match live across BBC digital platforms.”<\/p>\n

The Youth Cup final kicks off at 19:00 BST and will be broadcast live from 18:50 BST on BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website and app.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
