Manchester United officially win first trophy of 2026/27 season

Manchester United head into the 2026/27 season full of confidence after an impressive first year under Michael Carrick.

The Red Devils finished third in the Premier League last season to secure a return to Champions League football.

That success has already helped the club strengthen its squad.

United completed one of the biggest deals of the summer by signing Youri Tielemans from Aston Villa.

The Belgian midfielder arrives after helping Villa win the UEFA Europa League during the 2025/26 campaign, bringing valuable experience and a winning mentality to Old Trafford.

Supporters hope those additions will help Carrick’s side compete for major honours this season.

However, Manchester United have already celebrated their first trophy of the 2026/27 campaign.

Manchester United begin the new campaign with silverware

It is not Carrick’s senior squad celebrating success.

Instead, one of the club’s academy teams has started the season in style.

Manchester United’s Under-14 girls have officially won the 2026 Budget Energy SuperCupNI Girls Junior title after an impressive week in Northern Ireland.

The Budget Energy SuperCupNI is one of the world’s most prestigious youth football tournaments.

The competition brings together elite academies and youth teams from across the globe each year, giving young players the chance to compete against top-level opposition.

Manchester United have a proud history in the tournament, with many future first-team players representing the club over the years.

This latest success adds another trophy to the academy’s growing collection and highlights the strength of United’s youth system.

Carrick’s first team will soon turn their attention to the Premier League and Champions League, but the club’s youngsters have already ensured Manchester United begin the 2026/27 season with silverware.
