A MANCHESTER UNITED wonderkid scored a staggering solo goal for the Under-21s after a 70-YARD run.
And fans reckon he is flying under the radar – with big things being tipped for the teenager.
Jacob Devaney, 18, has been starring for the Red Devils U21s this season as captain.
The youngster can operate in defence or midfield and has led the team to seven wins from eight to kickstart the Premier League 2 campaign.
But it was in the EFL Trophy on Tuesday that he stepped up in impressive fashion.
After defeats to Lincoln City and Barnsley, United beat Notts County away in their Group D clash at Meadow Lane.

Shea Lacey gave the Red Devils the lead on the half-hour mark with a powerful strike.
But it was Devaney who stole the show with his sublime goal.
After a neat Cruyff turn inside his own six-yard box, the goalkeeper fed a short pass to his centre-back who threaded the ball for Devaney, who burst forwards from centre-back.
The Irish youth international collected it midway inside his own half.

And from there it was all about Devaney – son of ex-Cheltenham and Barnsley winger Martin.
He skipped past two challenges and showed a swift turn of pace to fend off another chasing defender and eventually let fly after his incredible run to bury into the bottom corner.
The No67 raced away to celebrate with his shocked team-mates and delighted travelling supporters.
Despite some questionable defending, fans on social media were more rightly excited about Devaney’s effort.
And there are even hopes the kid could break into the first-team set-up under Ruben Amorim – while reports suggest Premier League rivals are tracking his progress.
One said: “What a brilliant run and finish by Jacob Devaney. He picked up the ball in his own half!”
Another wrote: “He’s flown under the radar but saw him in U18s a while ago and he stood out as an absolute anchor in a deep CM role.”
A third added: “What a run and what a finish.”
A fourth commented: “That’s ma boy.”

And a final user asked: “Wonderful goal. Reckon JD can make it to first team level this season or next? Or needs a loan first?”
Ironically, Devaney’s strike came on the same night as Micky van de Ven’s brilliant goal for Tottenham in the Champions League, running the length of the pitch before finding the net against Copenhagen.
