Manchester United youngster Eddie Johnson netted twice as England Under-20's beat Wales 2-0 at Stoke City's Britannia Stadium. The striker is believed to have a bright future at Old Trafford, and this performance for England may persuade Ferguson to give him some first-team experience.

| Manchester United's Eddie Johnson
netted twice as the England Under-20 side beat Wales 2-0 at the Britannia
Stadium. Two defensive errors gifted England both their goals, in a game played in front of a healthy looking crowd at Stoke City's ground. Johnson is rated very highly by all at Old Trafford, and has looked good on a number of outing he has had for the reserve side. The youngster was named on the bench for United's 3-2 League Cup victory over Leeds United earlier in the season, and this performance in the England shirt will have done him no harm to his claim of getting his first United appearance. |
