James Wilson

http://www.manutd.com/sitecore/shell...0,46,1666,2202 An exciting talent who scored on his Under-18 debut as a 15-year-old when hitting the net against Everton.

Often played ahead of his age group, he was called up to England Schoolboys when still performing at Under-15 level, the silky striker was scouted by United when only seven years old.

Although he can play out wide on the left, he is at his most effective down the middle and is filling out to be able to thrive in that demanding role.

After recovering from a broken ankle that cruelly halted his progress, he was back in time to score a dramatic injury-time winner against Charlton Athletic in the FA Youth Cup quarter-final - surely the stuff of dreams to do so at Old Trafford at the tender age of 16.

Even though he made 10 starts (and five substitute appearances), only three players scored more than the six strikes he managed for the Under-18s and some of his finishes were top class, displaying composure and a real poacher's eye.

Remarkably, he was handed an early taste of Reserves football when coming off the bench in the fixture at West Bromwich Albion and, providing he stays injury-free and continues developing at youth level, there should be plenty to look forward to for the Biddulph-born forward in terms of more opportunities at that level.

Wilson signed professional forms on his 17th birthday towards the end of 2012 but had to deal with injury issues throughout the campaign. Nevertheless, he was still top scorer and a final tally of 14 goals in 13 starts (five further appearances off the bench) demands attention.

Five of those strikes came in one memorable win at Newcastle, four inside the first half and they were his first efforts of the league programme. After scouring the record books, only Deiniol Graham's double hat-trick in an 8-2 thumping of Marine Reserves in early 1990 outscores Wilson throughout Sir Alex Ferguson's entire tenure at Old Trafford.

Wilson nudged his way into contention at Under-21 level and could find himself involved for both age-groups in 2013/2014 if he continues to impress. He netted in the Reserves' Manchester Senior Cup game at Bury and captained the Under-18s while scoring and making goals with remarkable consistency.

By becoming a regular for England Under-19s, it seems obvious that his talents are being appreciated further afield and he took to the UEFA Youth League like a duck to water, keeping up his fine scoring run.

Wilson tipped for the top

http://www.manutd.com/sitecore/shell...,155,2584,1612

Clayton Blackmore believes James Wilson is capable of breaking into the Manchester United first team on a regular basis in the future.

The 18-year-old has become the spearhead of Warren Joyce's Under-21 side and earned a first place on the bench for Saturday's Barclays Premier League clash at Newcastle.

After working closely with the striker a few years ago, Blackmore is in no doubt about the youngster's obvious potential: "I think 'Willo' is top level," Clayton told MUTV. "I coached him with the Under-15s and he was frightening. In every session, he scored top-drawer goals.

"For me, it is only a matter of time before he breaks into the first team. He is very direct when he gets on the ball and with what he does around about the box with his shooting. At 15, he was the best I have seen at finishing.

"I've watched a lot of games and it's sometimes hard to get him in on goal because he is often playing up front on his own and is marked by two centre-backs. So it can be difficult for him to get on the ball but he's good at running at people and getting shots off.

"He is so good with both feet that I don't know if he is left or right-footed. Honestly, he is a special talent and hopefully, one day soon, he is going to get a chance in the first team."

Joyce sets Wilson target

http://www.manutd.com/sitecore/shell...0,72,1666,1316

Warren Joyce has set striker James Wilson the target of scoring in all four remaining Barclays Under-21 Premier League games.

The teenager, who was named on the bench for the first team's win at Newcastle on Saturday, was sorely missed in the U21s' goalless draw with Chelsea and 1-0 defeat away to the Magpies which have hampered the Reds' prospects of reaching the semi-finals of the competition.

Victory is surely required against Aston Villa on Monday night to keep the youngsters in the mix and the players will be eagerly anticipating another run-out at Old Trafford. Wilson, who had been sidelined with illness, is likely to return which could enable Andreas Pereira to revert to a deeper role.

"James is still growing and his body is still developing," explained Joyce to ManUtd.com. "His fitness levels have improved greatly this season from last year but he is still a developing boy.

"He's got a lot of potential and has that knack of scoring goals but he needs to keep working hard. I have got to say that he is a grounded kid but he must work harder now he's had a little bit of success. He needs a run of games and to be scoring every game between now and the end of the season. That has got to be his aim.

"It's been a little unfair on Andreas, playing him up front, but it's not doing any harm in a short period. He is more of a midfield no.8 or no.10 than an out-and-out forward but it didn't do Adnan Januzaj any harm last year and I think he has done well with the things we have asked him to do."

There is free entry for all supporters for the U21s game at Old Trafford on Monday night.

Come in No 47... United starlet Wilson is named on bench against Newcastle

Manchester United youngster James Wilson earned himself a place on the substitutes bench as the Reds faced a striker shortage for their match against Newcastle.

With both Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie sidelined Wilson was brought in as a precaution, had David Moyes been looking to protect Danny Welbeck with United facing a vital match against Bayern Munich on Wednesday, and wore training gear with the No 47.

The 18-year-old has pushed himself into the Under-21 side since December and scored an impressive hat-trick against Wolves on his last outing at the beginning of March.

Wilson, who scored on his academy debut against Everton when he was 15, netted five times against the Newcastle Under-18s in a 7-1 victory last season.

Having also become a regular for the England-U19 side, scored his first goal for the national side in a 6-1 victory over Estland U-19s.

Born in Staffordshire the striker is known for his blistering pace and acceleration which leaves many of his opponents trailing and was handed the captain's armband for the academy side this year.



As a versatile player Wilson can play out wide on the left but is most potent playing down the middle. Despite suffering a broken ankle last year, which ruled him out for a large portion of the season, the striker still finished with 14 goals from just 13 starts.

He's shown a great deal of composure in front goal whilst playing for the Under-18's, as well as an impressive eye for goal, which has earnt him high praise from a number of sources inside United.

One such source, former Manchester United player Clayton Blackmore, believes the striker has what it takes to follow in the footsteps of Danny Welbeck.

Moyes watches on as Man United starlet Wilson scores another stunner and Evans returns to action

Manchester United striker James Wilson added to his burgeoning reputation by scoring a 25-yard stunner in front of manager David Moyes on Monday night.

And there was a further boost for Moyes as defender Jonny Evans made his first appearance since suffering a calf strain on February 1 and came through 65 minutes unscathed at Old Trafford.

Watching brief: Manager David Moyes was at Old Trafford to watch the U21 match

Wilson, who had earned a first call up to the first-team squad for Saturday's Premier League clash at Newcastle, opened the scoring in the Reds' Under 21 clash against Aston Villa.

The 18-year-old picked up the ball on the right edge of the box and drove inside before unleashing an unstoppable shot into the top corner in the 27th minute at OId Trafford.

Joe Rothwell and Saidy Janko were also on the scoresheet as United ran out 3-0 winners.

Cracker: James Wilson (centre) scores a stunner for United's U21 team against Aston Villa

Academy graduate Wilson had forced his way into Moyes' plans with his goal-scoring expoits for the U18 and U21 teams.

Former United defender Clayton Blackmore, who graduated into the first-team three decades ago, has tipped Wilson for the top.

'James is top level,' he told the club's official website. 'I coached him with the under-15s and he was frightening. In every session, he scored top-drawer goals. For me, it is only a matter of time before he breaks into the first team.

'He is very direct when he gets on the ball and with what he does around about the box with his shooting. At 15, he was the best I have seen at finishing. I've watched a lot of games and it's sometimes hard to get him in on goal because he is often playing up front on his own and is marked by two centre-backs.'

Boss considers Wilson bow

http://www.manutd.com/sitecore/shell...n=0,0,1636,920

David Moyes has hinted he may hand James Wilson a senior debut before the end of the season after circumstances dictated that he was unable to make his bow at Newcastle United.

The 18-year-old striker was on the bench at St James' Park but Ashley Young and Marouane Fellaini were injured and that affected the manager's tactical plans. After returning to Under-21 duty but being withdrawn due to an injury himself on Thursday night against Norwich City, Wilson will hope for another chance to link up with the first team in the remaining games.

"If the opportunity had been right at Newcastle, I'd have tried to get him some minutes on the pitch," revealed Moyes to MUTV. "As it was, we lost a couple of people in the game to injury so we had to make substitutions and we couldn't get to a position to give him some minutes. He's done well in the Reserves and earned an opportunity.

"I think he's got a good chance, the boy, and we want to keep him right but keep moving him up and progressing him when we think the opportunities are there.

"If the opportunity comes [before the end of the season], we'll do so but we have a lot of people looking for a game."
