instead of the senior team&#8217;s 3-0 win over Palace.<\/p>\n<p>But United&#8217;s youngsters were blown away by Bolton,\u00a0who won the EFL Trophy last season, as the home side chalked up their biggest competitive victory in 40 years.<\/p>\n<p>Wanderers had the game wrapped-up before half time as they led 4-0 thanks to two goals from Josh Sheehan, and strikes from Dan Nlundulu and Gethin Jones.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/26\/23\/75868473-12564181-image-a-58_1695768193446.jpg\" height=\"441\"
