Manchester United are not the only team in need of Gabriele Biancheri’s goalscoring talents.

Gabriele Biancheri has been on a tear this season, scoring at a prolific rate for Manchester United’s academy teams.

While United clearly do not intend to rush him, there is hope he could help provide a solution for the team’s goalscoring struggles, if he continues to progress well.

Another team with a big eye on him is the Wales international team.

Gabriele Biancheri scores for Wales under-19s

Wales’ senior side lined up for their most recent game with Championship striker Kieffer Moore as their starting striker.

Gabriele Biancheri is featuring for their under-19s side and he is building a case to be called up for their November qualifiers.

Biancheri scored one goal and provided an assist as Wales under-19s defeated Italy 4-3 at the weekend.

The youngster now has four goals in six matches for Wales at under-19s level, since making the jump from the under-17s.

Now 18, Biancheri’s goal this weekend was especially timely as it came against Italy, a team for who he is also eligible to represent.

This could play into Wales thinking if they decide to call him up sooner rather than later, for fear of losing him.

Biancheri’s season to date

Gabriele Biancheri has had a prolific season in Manchester United’s academy, with eight goals in five league matches for the under-18s. And that’s only half the story.

Biancheri also has another strike to his name for the under-21s, plus three goals in the Premier League Cup.

His 12 goals in all competitions at club level is bolstered by two he has scored for Wales’ under-19s.

He also scored the winning penalty in a shootout for the 21s at Doncaster, and if he carries on at this rate, Manchester United fans could be seeing him in the first team soon.
