The Manchester United U18 side are once again tearing the league apart with Gabriele Biancheri’s goal-scoring unstoppable.
After winning the treble last season, Adam Lawrence’s Manchester United U18 side has begun this season as they left off with five consecutive wins.
Big wins against both Manchester City and Liverpool got the season off to an immense start, before beating Newcastle United 5-1 last weekend saw United make it three from three.
Gabriele Biancheri scored in each of these games, proving himself to be deadly in front of goal – no doubt catching the eye of Jason Wilcox.
Now, in this weeks fixture against Middlesbrough, Gabriele Biancheri was excellent as usual.
Manchester United U18s win 4-0
A flawless start to the campaign was continued on Saturday, with United trouncing Middlesbrough 4-0 – moving second in the process, just behind Derby County who have played a game extra.
Away from home on Saturday afternoon, Biancheri opened the scoring, making it 1-0 seven minutes into the game – thanks to an assist from Zach Baumann.
Remarkably in the 53rd minute, Biancheri made it a second successive brace as he converted from the penalty spot – his ninth in six games for United.
Biancheri also has one goal in one appearance for the under-21s, taking his record this season to nine in seven matches.
A returning Victor Musa made it 3-0 in the 79th minute with wonderkid Amir Ibragimov making the assist.
Ibragimov then grabbed his second assist of the day in the 90th minute as Bendito Mantato scored to make it 4-0.
By grabbing a pair of assists, Ibragimov made it two assists and a goal in his last two games in the U18 Premier League – announcing himself at this level, despite only being 16.
Ibragimov has aspirations of making a senior debut this season and so this form is what he will need to showcase.
Gabriele Biancheri sends Erik ten Hag message
Biancheri has been incredible this season, which is very exciting for Manchester United as the Red Devils boast three incredible goalscorers at academy level.
Biancheri finds himself behind Ethan Wheatley in the pecking order, although that may not be the case for long with the Wales youth international’s form unavoidable.
Erik ten Hag will surely be aware of the form Biancheri is in and so we have to assume that if any youth team player is being considered a first inclusion in the near future, it will be the man who arrived from Cardiff in 2023.
With so many goals, it is hard to see Biancheri remaining at an U18 level all year – especially considering he is 18 already.
Perhaps a Europa League appearance is in his near future.
