Manchester United youngster Bendito Mantato has continued to impress after scoring six goals in three games for the academy.
The Manchester Evening News revealed last month that Mantato was generating interest and the youngster was in the process of considering his options and possible next steps. Impressively, Mantato scored four goals against Blackburn in a 5-2 win for the Under-18s and he was on the scoresheet again last weekend in a friendly for the Under-21s.
United made an academy trip to France over the weekend to give youngsters an overseas experience and behind-closed-doors fixtures at AS Monaco and OGC Nice were arranged. The young Reds won 2-1 against Monaco and Mantato scored a late match-winner to win the friendly, with Amir Ibragimov, another highly-regarded talent, also scoring. Nice won 3-2 in their clash against United on Easter Monday and Mantato scored again in that defeat.
