The Wonderkid Power Rankings: Man Utd and Newcastle youngsters headline this week’s Top 10 | OneFootball

The Wonderkid Power Rankings return, with Lewis Hall seizing number one for Newcastle United and Kobbie Mainoo climbing for Manchester United. According to yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk, the list tracks the Premier League’s most in-form under-21s.

Last week Mateus Fernandes reclaimed top spot from Nico O’Reilly, but the West Ham midfielder slips after Manchester City and O’Reilly falls after misses against Real Madrid and West Ham. Tottenham’s Archie Gray and Alejandro Garncho drop out, while Arsenal’s Max Dowman and Liverpool’s Rio Ngumoha miss out as sustained form, not one-offs, decides places.

10 Yankuba Minteh returns for Brighton and Hove Albion, deciding Sunderland with a sliced winner. At nine, El Hadji Malick Diouf clings on, strong in duels but wasteful with 19 turnovers. At eight, Rayan’s spark fades, four without end product and five failed crosses in the 0-0 at Burnley.

Seventh, Michael Kayode re-enters, heading his first Brentford goal at Wolves. Sixth, Álex Jiménez is benched at Burnley but steady off the bench. Fifth, Nico O’Reilly tumbles after a tough fortnight, struggling to influence Real Madrid and spurning chances in the West Ham draw.

Fourth, Jaydee Canvot shines, dominating Leeds with 13 clearances and two blocks. Third, Mateus Fernandes drops after a rare off-colour City display, beaten four times and conceding five fouls. Second, Kobbie Mainoo moves up, tidy and industrious at Aston Villa, with an England recall possibly in the offing. First, Lewis Hall excels against Barcelona and Chelsea, defending stoutly and taking top spot for the third time.
