U18 premier league cup final

U18 Premier League Cup Final: Young Manchester United striker Ethan Wheatley has joined League Two leaders Walsall on loan for the remainder of the 2024-25 season.

Ethan became United’s landmark 250th Academy graduate after earning his senior debut last April in a home Premier League match against Sheffield United. He has made a further three first-team appearances since.

Wheatley’s Old Trafford bow came after a successful few months with the club’s Under-18s, who lifted three trophies in as many weeks last spring. Ethan scored a double in the U18 Premier League Cup Final, eight goals in seven games in the league campaign at that age group, and the opening goal of the national league final at Stamford Bridge.
