Musa scores in third consecutive game for Manchester United youth team

Victor Musa continued his rich vein of form by scoring for the third consecutive game as Manchester United defeated Newcastle United 3-0 in an U18 Premier League fixture on Saturday afternoon.

The Anglo-Spanish-Nigerian youngster opened his goalscoring account in the division against Wolverhampton Wanderers on January 28 and a week later, made it two in as many games in a 1-1 draw with Derby County. 

After a goalless first half, United scored two goals inside three minutes in the second half to take the lead. 

Musa was involved in the build-up to the opener in the 47th minute as his blocked shot was set up nicely for James Nolan to slot home from inside the box, and the Golden Eaglets-eligible striker doubled the advantage with a lovely finish. 

His second of the game came deep into stoppage time as he rattled a shot into the bottom corner after the ball was given away. 

Musa, who is his final season as a schoolboy, is expected to sign a scholarship deal with Manchester United ahead of next season. 

United, who are unbeaten in their last ten matches, are third in the standings with 27 points from thirteen matches played.
