The words ‘Concilio et Labore’, which translates roughly as ‘Wisdom and Effort’, are along the bottom. The three diagonal stripes signify the rivers that flow through the city - the Irwell, the Irk and the Medlock - and there's an antelope wearing a gold chain and a golden lion with a crown.
A delighted Cox was speaking after the Under-18s had won their second trophy of the season, which was earned thanks to a 2-1 win over Manchester City at Leigh Sports Village. United looked the part before the Premier League Cup final and delivered on the pitch, lifting the trophy after two ruthless goals from Ethan Wheatley in the first half.
"We're delighted we got to grind out a win toward the end. It was about spirit and determination to win the game. It's been an interesting week because we don't carry a large number of players at youth level, but we've got injuries at senior level and that impacts plans. "When I got the call , there were a bit of nerves, but as soon as I was stripped and ready to go, I was excited," he told MUTV while fighting a smile.
The youngsters have scored 75 goals during their winning Premier League North campaign and it's understood coaching staff at City have acknowledged United's quality. "And then it's alignment across all of the staff, so making sure we're connected as a group throughout the age groups and up into the senior side with the first-team staff as well.
"I told the lads whether we win tonight is not going to define where you end up in your career, but it's going to help in experiencing those moments," Lawrence said. The only disappointment from the U18s' season, which is already a distant memory, was exiting the early rounds of the FA Youth Cup against Swindon Town.
Wheatley has made significant progress, the signing of Biancheri from Cardiff was regarded as a coup last summer and Williams has been a constant threat from the wing. United scored four goals in their first three league games of the season and that set the tone. The U18s have produced some wonderful performances and their 6-0 win over Leeds and 9-1 hammering of Liverpool were two of their finest on their way to the title.
