Manchester United wonderkid Gabriele Biancheri dazzled in Wales U19s’ 5-0 victory over Liechtenstein on Tuesday.
Biancheri netted a second-half hat-trick to help his side run riot in the U19 European Championship qualifiers.
He scored his first goal in the 69th minute and added two more in the next ten minutes.
With this emphatic victory, Wales moved into second place behind France U19s in their group.
Biancheri has been in unstoppable form this season, bagging 13 goals in 12 games for the Red Devils’ youth teams.
He also has netted eight goals in seven games for Wales U19.
He scored his first hat-trick on Tuesday but has already bagged four braces this campaign.
The 18-year-old clearly has a knack for scoring multiple goals when he is on song.
Biancheri is a top talent and could make his breakthrough to the senior United team under Ruben Amorim.
The United manager is renowned for promoting young academy talent to the first team.
His love for working with youth was evident during his successful stint at Sporting CP.
United have a history of unearthing future superstars and Biancheri could be added to that long list.
The young striker has sent a clear message to both Amorim and Wales coach Craig Bellamy.
Bellamy may be tempted to give Biancheri his first senior cap, especially with the starlet eligible to play for Italy through his heritage.
Biancheri must stay focused and keep developing his all-round game.
If his progress continues, there’s no doubt that Amorim and Bellamy will offer him a chance at senior level.
