Manchester United trialist Jeffrey Schlupp had his big chance to impress last night for Manchester United's under-21 side as they took on Liverpool, winning 1-0.
Schlupp, 20, is a Ghanaian international who can play up front, on the wing or even at left-back, and is on trial from Championship club Leicester City.
He played up front for the club and certainly impressed, although his finishing was off, he left fans wanting to see more, and played an important part in the winning goal. You can see how fans reacted to his performance here.
In case you didn't catch a glimpse of Schlupp in a United shirt for the first time. Here is a photo as tweeted by BBC Leicester journalist Ian Stringer:

Should United buy Schlupp and loan him back to Leicester, similar to the Zaha deal?
