Manchester United’s U-17s have had a rampant start to the season in the Premier League Cup.
They are top of Group G, which includes Nottingham Forest, Liverpool and Stoke.
United are a perfect two for two in their games, scoring 11 goals and conceding only three in that time.
Last night, United U-17 beat Forest by a mammoth score at Carrington, winning 6-1.
Amir Ibragimov continued his spectacular run of form to score a brace.
13-year-old superstar Bassirou Nkoto also scored two goals, with Dante Plunkett and Victor Musa contributing to the goalfest as well.

New summer signing Samuel Lusale also made his debut last night, after finalising a move from Crystal Palace last month.
United snatched Lusale’s signature from Crystal Palace’s grasps, after he turned down a scholarship with the London club.
The 17-year-old provided two assists and made an instant impact at right-wing.
Lusale is expected to play for United’s dominant U-18 side this season, but is initially being eased into action for the U-17s.

United’s U-18 are second in the Premier League North, with a game in hand behind Derby, but have won all of their games.
They have scored 22 goals in five matches, while conceding just one.
Competing with Lusale for his position in the U-18s is Shea Lacey and Angolan 16-year-old Bendito Mantato.
However, United had to fight interest from other clubs in England, Italy and Germany to sign Lusale.
He is highly rated by the academy scouts and is not in the squad to simply add depth; Lacey and Mantato will have to be at their very best if they wish to stop Lusale from usurping them in the pecking order.
