Kosport Magazine: Manchester United’s U18s Thrash Liverpool 9-1
It was a day of inspiration for Manchester United’s under-18s as they dominated Liverpool with a 9-1 victory in an U18 Premier League match at the Merseyside club’s training ground in Kirkby.
The young Red Devils showed their potential and determination, giving the first team a boost ahead of their Premier League clash with Liverpool on Sunday. With title rivals Arsenal and Manchester City hot on their heels, Jurgen Klopp’s team will need to bring their A-game to Old Trafford.
But it was United’s U18s who stole the show, with James Scanlon scoring within the first minute of the game and Ethan Wheatley securing a hat trick. Even 15-year-old Joe Bradshaw managed to get a consolation goal for Liverpool with a delicate chip over the United goalkeeper.
Both clubs have a history of promoting youth players to their first teams, and this season has been no different. Liverpool have seen the likes of Conor Bradley and Jarell Quansah make their senior debuts due to injuries, while United’s 18-year-old Kobbie Mainoo has earned a call-up to the England squad.
With this impressive win, United now sit comfortably at the top of the U18 Premier League North table, 13 points ahead of second-placed Manchester City.
