Man United U18 team destroyed Liverpool U18 with a score of 9-1 right at their opponent’s Kirkby headquarters.
U18 Man United couldn’t have gotten off to a better start when James Scanlon opened the scoring after just 44 seconds. Ethan Wheatley scored twice and Ethan Williams also put his name on the scoreboard in the first half. Joe Bradshaw pulled one goal back for U18 Liverpool, but that was all the home team could do.
Ethan Wheatley completed his hat-trick in the 57th minute. Scanlon added a second goal before Gabriele Biancheri scored twice at the end of the match. The player coming from the bench, Ashton Missin, closed the match with a final score of 9-1 for Man United in the 88th minute.
The highlight of this match was striker Ethan Wheatley celebrating in boxing style like the legendary Wayne Rooney in the past. In the first leg, Ethan Wheatley was punched in the face by Luca Furnell-Gill. And the celebration in the second leg looked like retaliation towards the Liverpool player.

After the recent 9-1 victory, U18 Man United continues to dominate the U18 tournament rankings with 13 points more than the chasing group. Man United’s young team has won 17 of the 20 matches it has played this season and is deservedly in the lead. Meanwhile, Liverpool U18 was pushed to 4th place with only 28 points after losing to MU.
This weekend, Man United’s first team will welcome Liverpool at Old Trafford. And the performance of the young players will certainly give more motivation to the MU stars to fight to win points against Liverpool.
