Manchester United wonderkid Ethan Ennis continued his hot run of form with a wondergoal against Sunderland.
United’s Under 18 side hosted their Black Cats counterparts in the U18 Premier League this afternoon, with the game kicking off at 1pm.
United wasted no time, racing into the lead when Ennis expertly controlled a long pass before cutting inside the right back and firing home.
The match was shown live on MUTV and former United academy player Reece Brown was commenting on the match as a pundit.
At half-time, he said: “If that was Ronaldo or Messi it’d be something people were talking about.
“His touch takes the right back out of the game.”
Unfortunately, United were unable to hold onto their third-minute lead and had to settle for a draw after being pegged back five minutes into the second half
Ennis’ hot streak continues
Ennis has now either set up or scored a goal in each of his past six Under-18 Premier League outings, as per Transfermarkt.
He scored doubles against United’s bitter rivals Liverpool – the club United signed him from – and Leeds last month.
Then, he got the winner against Sunderland before setting up United’s only goals in games against both Blackburn and Middlesbrough.
Now, he is back on the scoresheet again and his record is all the more impressive because he is not a striker, he plays on the wing.
