Manchester United youngster JJ Gabriel continued his excellent recent form with another two goals in a 6-1 win over Derby in the Premier League Under-18 league. He has now scored six in his past four games and 16 in the Under-18 league for United, who are second behind Manchester City. In-form Louie Bradbury also scored twice, as did Noah Ajayi. United are looking to mark their first season with former midfielder Darren Fletcher as coach by lifting silverware in one of the two cup competitions. They entertain West Ham in the semi-finals of the Premier League Under-18 Cup next Wednesday and are at home to Sunderland in the quarter-finals of the FA Youth Cup next month.
