Manchester United are renowned for producing amazing talents, and they have another dazzling future superstar in their ranks.
Ethan Ennis delivered a terrific performance in United Under 21s’ 4-0 victory over Altrincham yesterday.
The 19-year-old scored a brilliant hat-trick to take his season’s tally to eight goals from 11 games for the season. He has also registered three assists.
Ennis put United ahead with a fine right-footed finish after Jack Moorhouse found him in space.
He doubled United’s lead before the break with a similar finesse shot at the top right corner.
The teenager produced an electric display and provided a tremendous counter-attacking threat on the left flank.
His lethal pace helped him to net his third goal of the night through an exquisite chip over goalkeeper Louie Fallon.
Manchester Evening News reporter Steven Railston has described Ennis as ‘impossible to ignore‘ after his exploits this term.
Ennis has shown he can play on either wing. He has also started twice as a centre-forward. He possesses a quick burst of acceleration and superb ball-striking ability.
Ruben Amorim has shown faith in youngsters throughout his managerial career.
He has a breathtaking pool of talent at the United, and fans will be eager to see how many players can transition into the senior squad.
The Red Devils could also send Ennis on loan next season to get regular first-team experience.
Playing regularly for a Championship club or a newly promoted top-flight side could take his development to the next stage.
