The boss made full use of his resources and included four teenagers in the starting line-up for the club's first ever meet with Macclesfield Town.
One of those teenagers - Jonny Howson - was involved when United collected the first corner of the game after his crunching tackle won the ball and Tresor Kandol forced a corner.
Macclesfield dealt with the set-piece, but United immediately won another when Kandol had a header deflected wide.
Moments later, Kandol had the ball in the back of the net with a well-placed header, but the effort was ruled out for offside.
Macclesfield's reply was immediate and Adam Murray was screaming for a penalty when he went down under a challenge from Ben Parker.
United had an even better shout for a penalty waved away on 10 minutes, though, when a goalbound header from Matt Heath was clearly blocked on the line by a Macclesfield hand.
The visitors again broke quickly as they cleared their lines and Casper Ankergren made his first save of the game when he pushed a long-range effort around the post.
Ankergren appeared to make another good save from Murray from distance, but the referee awarded a goal-kick despite protestations from the home players.
At the other end, Kandol had an opportunity when, escaping the offside trap, he latched onto a ball over the top, but he was quickly crowded out and shot straight at Macc goalkeeper Tommy Lee.
