English-Nigerian Victor Musa scores six as Man United U18s thrash Leeds 13-1

Manchester United’s U18 forward Victor Musa delivered a sensational performance on Saturday morning, scoring six goals in a commanding 13-1 victory over Leeds United in a youth league fixture.

The young Red Devils were in rampant form against their local rivals, with Musa’s double hat-trick making headlines.

Impressively, the 18-year-old striker netted all six goals in the first half alone, with five of them coming within the first 25 minutes.

He added a sixth before the break to complete a remarkable individual display.

Musa’s contribution headlined a dominant attacking show by United’s U18 side, which also saw midfielder Jim Thwaites bag a hat-trick of his own.

The victory underscores the attacking prowess and depth within United’s youth setup, which continues to nurture exciting talents.

Born in Tudela, Spain, on 5 September 2006, Musa is of Nigerian descent and holds a Nigerian passport.

He moved to England in 2017 with his mother, a year after his father had relocated for work. He attended St Bede’s and St Joseph’s Catholic College and quickly rose through the ranks in Manchester United’s academy.

A left-footed attacker, Musa is known for his versatility. While primarily deployed as a forward, he is also comfortable playing on the left wing. His speed, movement, and finishing ability have made him a standout in United’s youth ranks.

Saturday’s performance adds to his growing reputation and will likely intensify interest in his development from both national team selectors and senior club coaches.
