Manchester United U21s played out a 1-1 draw with National League side Rochdale in a pre-season game at the Crown Oil Arena on Saturday.The game was played to honour the memory of former United academy graduate and Rochdale legend Joe Thompson, who died in April.United began the game strongly, dominating possession, but neither side could create goalscoring opportunities.The hosts eventually created the game’s first clear-cut chance as Emmanuel Dieseruvwe forced goalkeeper Cameron Byrne-Hughes to make a good save with a header from a cross.United’s first chance of note came in the 30th minute, when Byrne-Hughes’ pass was cleared towards James Scanlon, whose 30-yard attempt landed inches off target.On 38 minutes, Dale thought they had taken the lead with Dieseruvwe tapping the ball home, but the goal was ruled out due to a foul on Byrne-Hughes.The National League side made a bright start to the second half by creating two chances, which fell to Dieseruvwe, but he could not convert either.United took the lead after the hour mark through Ethan Ennis, who received a pass from Scanlon before firing his shot...
