Man Utd youngsters Kingdon, Williams look to Swindon in FAYC

Manchester United's youngsters are delighted to be in the Fourth Round of the FA Youth Cup.

This week's 1-0 win against Derby County sets up a tie at Swindon Town in February.

United defender Jack Kingdon said: "It's just an amazing feeling, under the lights, playing with friends. Derby made it really hard for us, you've got to give respect to them, but I thought the boys dug in and did really well.

"Everyone in the backline was so focused and on it, so it was easier to control. We'll have a good break, well deserved for everyone but we can't wait [for the next round]."

Matchwinner Ethan Williams also told manutd.com: "You've got to be in the right place and the right time and I guess I was. Coming off the bench, it was lucky it was me to get the goal. It's what you're there for, to come on and make an impact. You have got to make an impact by studying the opposition first.

"We'll be ready for them [Swindon] and prep for it after Christmas. We'll be looking to get a win and get into the fifth round."
