Flying Eagles forward, Kelechi Iheanacho, made a statement of intent ahead the FIFA U-20 World Cup in New Zealand after he scored a brace to help Manchester City U-21 beat rivals Manchester United 3-1.
Iheanacho levelled the scoreline in the 55th minute after turning his marker before slotting the ball into the bottom corner.
He later put the game beyond the reach of the Red Devils by extending his side’s 2-1 lead in the 80th minute with a well-taken shot.
Iheanacho is expected to join the Flying Eagles squad in New Zealand on May 26 as the team prepares to face Brazil on June 1, 2015 in their first group game.
