Although this particular objective failed as Man City simultaneously beat Wolves, Man Utd certainly stormed to a statement victory. The Old Trafford side's youth team stormed to an emphatic 13-1 victory over their rivals.

As if the sheer amount of goals wasn't already eye-catching enough, one player in particular made sure to grab the headlines. 18-year-old striker Victor Musa was the star of the show as he netted a scarcely believable six first-half goals.

In fact, five of the teenager's goals came within the first 25 minutes, with his fifth the pick of the bunch. After seeing a first attempt blocked, the ball bounced kindly for the Spanish-born England youth international to rifle home with authority.

Who is Victor Musa?

Prior to his breakout performance against Leeds, Musa had scored five goals in 13 U18 Premier League appearances. The 18-year-old clearly has a knack for scoring in big games as he netted twice against Liverpool in early February.

Musa was born in the Spanish town of Tudela to Nigerian parents in 2006. In 2017, he and his mother followed his father to England, which has enabled the youngster to suit up for the Three Lions.

Musa previously featured both for Spain's and England's U16s, although he hasn't represented any country since growing out of the U16 age group. All told, Musa has scored 23 goals in 57 appearances for Man Utd's U18s. He has also made seven appearances for the U21s, scoring once.

The onus will be on Musa to carry his form from the Leeds game over into the final stages of the campaign as starting U18s striker Chido Obi has featured mostly for Ruben Amorim's senior side in recent weeks. Obi netted a whopping 12 goals in 10 U18 appearances.
