Manchester United whizkid James Wilson is happy to put his aerial ability to effect at both ends of the pitch.
The leading Under-21s scorer noticeably put his aerial ability to good use in a defensive capacity as the campaign wore on but only one of his impressive haul of 24 goals was a header - which came in a 2-1 defeat to Shakhtar Donetsk's Under-19s in Ukraine.
"I was first put in there in pre-season at the near post," he explained to ManUtd.com, when discussing defending set-pieces. "Like Robin van Persie does for the first team.
"I shied away from a couple in the friendlies and they criticised me for that. Obviously, the coaches continued to put me there and I've worked on it a bit and have found myself clearing a lot more balls.
"In terms of the other end, I can only remember one headed goal all season, at Shakhtar Donetsk. I've got an alright leap and I can flick on goal-kicks and do well defensively. Attacking-wise, it seems to have not been falling for me but I don't know why I haven't scored many headers. Hopefully, that will change."
