Manchester United’s U18 side absolutely thrashed Liverpool on Saturday, with one goalscorer hitting the ground running after a long injury.
After a tough few games, Manchester United were back on form this weekend against Liverpool, and it was a performance worth waiting for.
United beat Liverpool 7-0 in an 11 am kick off at the Liverpool academy ground, and it was JJ Gabriel who stole all the headlines, scoring three of the seven in a magnificent outing to take his season tally to 10.
Sum up JJ Gabriel in one word…🔥
Jay McEvoy was another really impressive performer for United, while the game also saw the return of a talent who wasted no time getting back among the goals.
Louie Bradbury makes return for Manchester United
United were already 3-0 up when Louie Bradbury finally made his return from injury.
Bradbury has been likened to Chido Obi, and he proved why as he scored merely minutes after Darren Fletcher opted to bring him off the bench.

Bradbury scored a true striker’s goal as he capitalised on a corner which ended in a goalmouth scramble before he poked it home, showing his poacher’s instinct.
Bradbury scored 41 times last season, and now that he is back fit and firing, he will want to begin reminding fans why he was so highly regarded prior to this season.
Louie Bradbury sends message to Manchester United fans after goal
It was clearly a moment that meant a lot to Bradbury, evidenced by him and Godwill Kukonki arguing over who got the final touch.
Now, after the game, Bradbury took to Instagram, sending a message to supporters which also shows his relief to be back after 18 weeks on the sideline.
“18 weeks out, Back with a bang”, Bradbury wrote, with a sunglasses emoji.
In the comments, his teammates were thrilled for him. Amir Ibragimov commented “bagsman”.
Meanwhile, Jayden Ngwashi added two pistol emojis to indicate Bradbury is lethal in front of the goal.
Now, Bradbury can kick on and make himself the number nine that the U18s have needed.
