David Eze makes his Manchester United debut as U18s equalise late against Chelsea

David Eze made his debut for Manchester United as the U18s drew 2-2 against Chelsea in the Premier League Cup. The match came after the international break, with the last encounter between the sides in the 2024 Premier League final, which United won 2-1. New signing Eze entered the game off the bench, contributing to the team's performance.

Early in the first half, Chelsea's Mathis Eboue had the better chances, hitting the post and coming close to breaking the deadlock. United's Rafe McCormack was the standout defender, making a crucial challenge to deny Eboue. In the second half, Chelsea took the lead through Heze Grimwade's free-kick, but Yuel Helafu equalized for United just five minutes later with a stunning strike.

United drew level once more in the 72nd minute when Camacho curled a free-kick into the far corner. The match ended in a 2-2 draw, placing United at the top of the group on goal difference heading into the final group stage match.
