He has been on an upward trajectory since joining United in February 2023 and he isn’t showing any signs of slowing down. Biancheri was prolific for United last season, netting an impressive 21 goals while providing an additional six assists across all competitions. He has started the 2025/26 campaign in fine style, with his tally currently standing at four goals and two assists in seven Premier League 2 appearances. This haul includes a sensational hat-trick during last month’s dominant 4-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur. He also assisted Diego Leon’s superb goal in the same contest. The 19-year-old’s superb displays have seen him earn a nomination for the latest Premier League 2 Player of the Month prize.
