Wales teenage star Gabriele Biancheri made an immediate impact on his debut for Manchester United as he scored his first goal for his new club just days after joining from Cardiff City.
The 16-year-old turned out for the English giants' under-18s side against Leeds and took less than 20 minutes to make his name known as he came off the bench in the second-half before squeezing in United's third goal of the game from a tight angle.
It wasn't quite a dream debut for the highly-rated youngster, however, as United conceded two late goals, including a 92nd minute equaliser, with the game ending 3-3.

Biancheri moved to Old Trafford earlier this week having completed a medical last month. He has joined the club as a scholar before penning a long-term professional contract when he turns 17 in September
He was pictured in a United kit for the first time on Monday when he posted a photo of himself on social media and wrote simply: "I'm a red."
The teenager had been at Cardiff for more than nine years and was called up to the under-21s in December having impressed coaches at under-18s level. Before that match, he had already notched 17 goals and five assists in age-grade football since the start of the season.
Many Cardiff supporters were sad to see the hot prospect leave south Wales but United fans have already thrown their support behind the youngsters having seen his debut goal.
Responding to a clip of Biancheri's fine finish on social media, one claimed: "The future is bright", while another confidently declared: "He is going to be a superstar." Others backed him to rise through the ranks at Old Trafford, as one added: "It won't take this lad long and he will be in the first team squad."
