Two Original mounted photograps-pity there were no names of the players shown.
Details from this era are extremely hard to find, clearly not the first x1 possibly a second or even a 3rd team.

Newton Heath changed their name in 1902 to Manchester United

Leslie Millman is manchesterunitedman1

There's a distinct lack of facial hair, Leslie, which predominated at the time. Perhaps they're youth teams?
