Gabriele Biancheri Continues Scoring Streak with U18s as Manchester United Eye Future Role for ‘Next Chicharito
Manchester United’s first team returned to form with a 3-0 victory over Southampton on Saturday, while the club’s U18 side continued their winning streak with a dominant 5-1 triumph over Newcastle.
Leading the charge for the U18s was Gabriele Biancheri, who netted a brace and has been in sensational form this season.
Biancheri, who joined United from Cardiff City as a highly-rated prospect, has now scored six goals in four U18 matches and added another goal in his brief U21 appearance.
His knack for being in the right place at the right time has earned him comparisons to former United striker Javier “Chicharito” Hernández.
Given his prolific goal-scoring record, Biancheri could soon make the jump to the U21s permanently. In the short term, he might even earn a call-up to the senior squad, with the upcoming match against Barnsley in the EFL Cup presenting a possible opportunity for him to be involved, even if just on the bench.
As Biancheri continues to develop, a loan move for the 2025/26 season could serve as a key stepping stone in his career, allowing him to gain valuable first-team experience, similar to Joe Hugill’s progression. For now, Biancheri is proving himself to be one of United’s brightest young talents.
