Manchester United youngster JJ Gabriel appeared to mock one Liverpool star after scoring a brilliant goal in a U18 derby.
On Saturday afternoon, rivals United and Liverpool took on each other in a U18 Premier League derby at the AXA Training Centre.
During what was a one-sided affair, United came away 7-0 winners, thanks to goals by Gabriel (Three), Bendito Mantato, Louie Bradbury, Jim Thwaites and Sam Lusale.
As a result, United are third in the North Conference table with 20 points, seven points ahead of Liverpool, who are in ninth place.

Someone else wrote: "dk what was better, the goal or the Isak celebration (especially against Liverpool).

What a goal for United! JJ Gabriel showing excellent close control and then the finish to make it 2. Brilliant from Jay McEvoy to turn in midfield and drive with the ball to get the assist#MUFC #MUAcademy

Due to his impressive form for the U18s, it was claimed that United boss Ruben Amorim included Gabriel in first team training this week.
In addition, 17-year-old stars Noah Ajayi, Jim Thwaites and Godwill Kukonki have all been working with the first team in recent weeks.
United are looking to bounce back on Sunday afternoon when they take on Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park.
Last time out, the Red Devils were booed off after losing to 10-man Everton at Old Trafford on Monday night.
Meanwhile, Liverpool are looking to end their dismal form by beating West Ham United at the London Stadium on Sunday afternoon.
