FA Youth Cup: Portsmouth 1 - 0 Huddersfield Town
Portsmouth created one good chance after that, Pablo Navas Alors being denied by Allinson in the closing stages.
Paul Pogba will help Manchester United launch another Youth Cup campaign tonight against Birmingham at Altrincham with coach Paul McGuinness full of admiration for the way he coped with being the centre of a tug-of-war with French club Le Havre.
The 16-year-old was cleared to play for United by FIFA this year after Le Havre had complained they offered financial inducements to sign him.
United always rejected the claims but as the arguments raged, it could not have been easy for Pogba.
"He is a very impressive player who has a lot of stature but also a lot of ability," said McGuinness.
"But the most impressive thing has been the way he has handled all the attention. He’s got personality."
