Ethan Wheatley opened the score for Man Utd U18 in the 21st minute, before Josh Acheampong equalized for Chelsea U18 at the beginning of the second half. However, Ethan Williams’ goal in the 55th minute helped the young team of the “Red Devils” win 2-1.

U18 Man Utd won the National U18 Premier League championship

Victory right at Stamford Bridge helped U18 Man Utd complete a historic “treble”. Previously, coach Adam Lawrence’s team won the Northern Premier League championship, losing only 2 matches the whole season, including 1 match after winning the tournament.

U18 Man Utd also won the U18 Premier League Cup 2 weeks ago after defeating city rival U18 Man City in the final thanks to Ethan Wheatley’s double. The “Red Devils” young team closed the season with 26 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses in all competitions.

The U18 National Premier League championship also helps U18 Man Utd qualify to participate in the UEFA Youth League. This is consolation for Man Utd fans after their first team failed to win a spot in the Champions League next season.

Wheatley experienced a dream season on a personal level with 23 goals and 5 assists for U18 Man Utd this season. The player born in 2006 was called up to Man Utd’s first team by coach Erik Ten Hag and has made 3 recent appearances. He became the 250th Man Utd academy graduate in the club’s history.

With a number of other U18 Man Utd players also sitting on the bench for the “Red Devils” first team in recent months, it is only a matter of time before they make their debut for the home team at Old Trafford .
