“When I came to this club, I was missing my striker at Sporting CP, but I was shocked when I saw this guy. He always reminds me of Victor Gyokeres. The fans will be shocked when he starts playing for me”-BREAKING NEWS: Rúben Amorim tells the board that he jas found his new Victor Gyokeres after revealing his new year lineup as he plans to be starting a lot of young stars.

Tyler Fletcher opened the scoring for Travis Binnion’s side with a well-executed volley, followed by Dan Gore doubling Manchester United’s lead after 30 minutes. The Reds went into halftime comfortably ahead with a two-goal cushion.

The second half saw more goals, with Ethan Wheatley finding the net and Jack Moorhouse adding a brace. Southampton managed to score a consolation goal, but United remained in control throughout, securing a dominant 5-1 victory.

Ruben Amorim Spotted in Attendance

Ruben Amorim was seen at Carrington, observing the under-21s’ impressive performance just a day before his first Manchester derby. He stood alongside first-team coach Darren Fletcher, signaling his interest in the club’s youth development. Amorim’s presence suggests a keen eye on potential future stars, aiming to integrate academy talent into the senior squad.

Ethan Wheatley Eyes Senior Football

Ethan Wheatley, already making his Premier League debut under Erik ten Hag in April, continued to impress by scoring a sublime goal to make it 4-0. His performance in front of Amorim could bolster his chances of breaking into the first team.

Wheatley’s best path to senior football is consistent goal-scoring at the youth level. Wrexham has shown interest in the young striker ahead of the January transfer window, though it remains to be seen if United will sanction a move to help him gain senior experience. If Wheatley continues delivering high-quality performances, interest in his services is sure to grow.
