A 4-0 defeat to MK Dons is certainly not the way to introduce yourself to the Manchester United faithful - or to force your way into Louis van Gaal's first team plans. United and Van Gaal succumbed to a humiliating hammering at the hands of the Dons at Stadium MK thanks to braces from Will Grigg and Benik Afobe, on loan from Arsenal. Despite some impressive first half displays from United's youngsters, in the second period they appeared to crumble as Dons continued to grow stronger as the game progressed. Here, Sportsmail gives you the lowdown on how United's youngsters fared.
