This is starting to seriously piss me off!
Manchester United u21s vs Manchester City u21s tomorrow is set to be on MUTV
For anyone who has recently been watching through YouTube, looks like the club have slapped a £11.99/month paywall on that
They’ve also broken the app, academy fixtures lists etc are all wrong
