Manchester United U18s have today smashed Leeds United 13-1.
The match saw Jim Thwaites score a hattrick, JJ Gabriel score a brace on his debut, and Amir Ibragimovic register a trio of assists.
It was young centre-forward Victor Musa who stole the headlines, however.
The Spaniard scored an incredible six goals in the first half, the first five coming within just 25 minutes.
Musa’s first came from the penalty spot, the striker converting the rebound after his initial effort was saved.
And the second would come just five minutes later, and in impressive fashion.
Picking up the ball in the right channel, Musa held off and dribbled past two defenders before finding the bottom corner.
His third, in the 14th minute, completed his hattrick and was the easiest of the lot, tapping into an empty net after the goalkeeper had saved Samuel Lusale’s shot.
Musa’s fourth, a beautifully curled shot from the edge of the box, came in the 17th minute but his fifth was perhaps the pick of the bunch.
With the ball on the edge of the box, the striker took advantage of a deflection off the Leeds defender, lashing the ball into the top corner and giving the goalkeeper no chance.
Finally, Musa completed his scoring in the third minute of stoppage time in the first half, finishing calmly inside the box.
The six goals saw Manchester United nine goals ahead at half time, with goals from James Bailey, Dan Armer and Gabriel completing the 13-1 battering.
Musa will hope his monstrous display will have caught the attention of Ruben Amorim, with opportunities to play before the end of the season available.
IT’S NINE!
