Manchester United Under 21s drew 3-3 with Salford City as they returned to pre-season action on Monday.

Seven weeks on from their Under 21 Premier League triumph, United's youth side took on the club part-owned by Gary and Phil Neville, Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs and Nicky Butt - who was the only member of the Class of 92 in attendance at Moor Lane.

Giggs left for the senior side's tour of the USA on Monday in his role as Louis van Gaal's assistant, while Scholes and Gary are enjoying a break following a busy season of punditry. Younger brother Phil, meanwhile, has moved to Spain after taking up a coaching post at La Liga side Valencia.
