Wowzers.

We’re not quite tired of Marcus Rashford yet, so let’s just enjoy Aidan Barlow’s outrageous underage talent for what it is before we label him “the new anything”.

The Manchester United youngster featured for his club’s U16s this morning when he did something that very few players would have the balls to try.

The youngster started for the club as they took on Newcastle United earlier and Barlow, coming in from the left wing, did a Neymar/Ossie Ardiles rainbow flick over the full back, and hammered the ball into the corner of the net.

His celebration is almost as good as the goal.

We do love a good rainbow flick.
