Precocious Nigerian Striker Scores Again For Manchester United In Friendly

Precocious Nigerian striker Ademipo Odubeko was on target again for Manchester United U16s in their 3-2 win over Hong Kong Football Association academy U-17s on Saturday.

The Republic of Ireland youth international netted in United's first friendly on Hong Kongese soil on Wednesday, August 16, a 7-0 thrashing of Hong Kong District All-Stars.

On 24 minutes, the Young Reds took the lead after the goalkeeper made a mess of Greenwoods free kick, but by the 40th minute the hosts were back on level terms.

Odubeko scrambled home to score and restore his team's one-goal advantage just after the hour mark.

Hong Kong Football Association academy U-17s equalized after 75 minutes to ensure an interesting finale, but the final word went to Mambuene, who headed home from Maosn Greenwood's corner
