Manchester United youngster shows maturity beyond his years with audacious lob

Joshua Harrop is a player to keep an eye on.

The 20-year-old Manchester United prospect really shone during the reserves' 5-1 drubbing of Salford City during the week and has Messi-esque golazo to prove it. Harrop came off the bench at around the 60-minute mark, but immediately made an impact on the game. The youngster opened his account with a stunning curled effort that brought the scoreline to 3-1, essentially killing the game off as a contest.

But he wasn't done yet - added his second in the 77th minute, scoring yet another sensational strike that will surely have turned a lot of heads.

Harrop made a great run into space off the back of a United counter-attack to receive the ball on the edge of the box. With just the keeper in front of him, he found himself under pressure from a speeding defender who was trying desperately to get back into position.

Rather than take the first-time shot, Harrop remained composed and took a touch to dupe the incoming defender whose attempt at a sliding block came to nothing. With the keeper a mere inches away, Harrop swiftly hit a perfectly executed lob that went sailing over the keeper and bounced into the net.
