Footage has emerged appearing to show Manchester United U18s concede an embarrassing goal against Charlton Athletic… directly from kick-off!
Addicks youngster Aaron Henry hit home an audacious effort and it only got worst for the Red Devils from then onwards.
One player can be seen retrieving the ball to put on the centre spot to restart the game, before the whistle blew and 16 year old Henry sent the ball floating 45 yards into the goal leaving the opposition players watching it fly in when they were only expecting the usual short passes to kick off.
Watch the stunner for yourself in the video below…
? STUNNER!

As can be seen above, he ended up getting mobbed by his own players in celebration whilst the United players are left standing in astonishment.
Henry has been on fire this season for the U18 squad, starting two of three games, all of which they have picked up victories.
The team have beaten Hull City 7-1 (a game which saw the youngster tried to score the same goal only for it to go just wide), beaten Crewe Alexandra 2-1, and picked up 2-1 win at Leeds where Henry also won praise for a stunning assist.
Keep up these impressive performances and he might just get a place in the first team in the Championship this season!
