Manchester United youngster mimics Erling Haaland goal celebration in U18s derby win

Manchester United youngster Manni Norkett mimicked Manchester City striker Erling Haaland's trademark goal celebration after scoring in the Reds' Under-18s 3-2 derby victory on Saturday.

After falling behind in the first half, United got themselves back on level terms just past the hour mark through Ethan Williams' fourth goal in his last three matches. That gave the young Reds the platform they needed to try and turn the game around, and they did exactly that when Norkett fired them into a 68th-minute lead, heading in Tyler Fredricson's cross.

United made sure of the points and the derby day bragging rights in the last minute of normal time via a James Nolan penalty. City reduced the arrears in stoppage time through Matty Wittingham, but it proved to be nothing more than a consolation goal.
