Manchester United’s U18s were in rampant form on Saturday against Wolves, racking up a 6-0 scoreline at Carrington.
No JJ Gabriel, no problem for Manchester United as the academy notched up another win this weekend. After United’s U21s beat Brentford, Darren Fletcher’s side thrashed Wolves on Saturday.
It was a thumping 6-0 scoreline, which sends United flying up to second in the U18 Premier League North, recovering from the opening day loss so well.
Camron Mpofu – 40′
Jariyah Shah – 45′
Jay McEvoy – 62′
Edson DeJonge-Seiros – 66′
Camron Mpofu – 71′
Edson DeJonge-Seiros – 90′
A comprehensive victory, which saw two U18 newboys this season steal the show with their braces.

Edson DeJonge-Seiros and Camron Mpofu score two each for Manchester United
It was a really impressive performance by this young group in which DeJonge-Seiros and Mpofu were undoubtedly the biggest winners, continuing to establish themselves as the key men at this level.
DeJonge Seiros has shone off the wing this season, and in this one, he came off the bench to star for United to score two more goals, both being really tidy finishes.
Meanwhile, Mpofu continued his fine campaign to date with two well-taken goals as the striker, leading the line for United after Louie Bradbury’s exit.
DeJonge-Seiros and Mpofu debuted this season and have taken to the level like a duck to water, looking the part for United. While the other standout performer was again Jay McEvoy, as he continued to look a few levels above U18 football with a goal and an assist.
This is yet another very special and talented U18 group, and this was a fifth straight win, with 19 goals scored and none conceded.
