United's second string strolled to their second pre-season win under
caretaker manager Brian McClair thanks to a hat-trick from Michael Barnes.
A poor start to the game saw few chances, with Steve Pickford's shot against
the bar for the hosts the closest either side came to opening the scoring.
The deadlock was broken on 36 minutes as Barnes cut inside and surprised
everyone with a low shot inside the near post.
Seven minutes after the interval came Barnes' second as he fired home
first-time from Kieran Lee's fine pass.
Lee Crockett made two fine saves to preserve United's lead before Barnes
completed his hat-trick 13 minutes from time with a fine solo effort.
Having rampaged down the right wing, he burst into the penalty area and fired
an angled effort past Hyde goalkeeper Craig Dootson.
With many of United's youngsters in action at Celtic Park on Wednesday night,
McClair handed keeper Tom Heaton a late cameo as an outfield player - and the
20-year-old almost scored with his first touch.
The hosts pulled a goal back through Gerry Harrison's tidy finish nine
minutes from time.
