Manchester United have a new Academy superstar - and he is outshining Chido Obi-Martin

Manchester United's Academy is in rude health.

The club's Under-18s have a perfect 10 in their league so far this season and on Wednesday night they secured progress in the FA Youth Cup with a thumping 5-0 win over Coventry City. That sets up a tie at home to Preston North End in the last-32 as United seek to recapture a trophy they last claimed in 2022.

Adam Lawrence's men have swept aside all before them domestically and their victory over Coventry this week was commanding. United were three up inside 13 minutes and completed the comprehensive win with two more goals in the second half.

Star striker Chido Obi-Martin attracts the headlines following his sensational start to life at United and his much-talked-about summer transfer from Arsenal. The young Dane did score twice against Coventry but it was a fellow forward who stole the show.

Gabriele Biancheri netted a hat-trick to continue his fine goalscoring form at age-group level. He has eight goals in six appearances in the Under-18 league, where Obi-Martin has netted five in five, but the Welshman also hit three in four in the UEFA Youth League and is enjoying a stellar campaign.

The 18-year-old helped United make a lightning start to the Youth Cup contest, opening the scoring inside three minutes before doubling his and United's tally on 10 minutes.

Obi-Martin got in on the act just three minutes later, when played through by Biancheri, before both talents scored in the second period, with Obi-Martin drilling in a free-kick from the edge of the box before Biancheri tapped home late
