Golden Eaglets-eligible striker scores five goals for Man Utd youth team in win v Birmingham

Majid Balogun was the standout performer as Manchester United U15s team defeated Birmingham City in a friendly.

The Golden Eaglets-eligible attacker scored all of Manchester United U15s goals in their 5-4 win over the Blues.

Balogun has been in fine form for the Red Devils youth team in pre-season, having netted a brace as United demolished Burnley 8-0, before the fixture against Birmingham City.

He joined Manchester United in January 2022, with the Red Devils beating a plethora of clubs to his signature.

By moving to United, he became the first player on the books of grassroots club Lambeth Tigers to join Manchester United.

In May 2022, Balogun starred as Manchester United won the Albert Phelan Cup, scoring in the showpiece against Aston Villa.

The highly-rated teenager is seemingly open to representing Nigeria at international level considering the fact that he follows the Nigeria Football Federation on social media.

Balogun, who is currently a schoolboy, will be aiming to sign a scholarship with Manchester United in the next few years.
