Manchester City U18 coach Ben Wilkinson is delighted with the progress of captain Ashton Muir.

Muir scored twice in the 5-1 win against Derby County yesterday.

Wilkinson told City's website: “Ashton's taken his goals really well and at half time I asked him go from playing out wide to playing as a full back and coming inside.

“Ash is a really good footballer with good footballing brain and understanding of how we want to play.

“He's a very flexible player and I feel I can trust him to play anywhere, and he'll go a great job for the team.

“He nearly scored a third late on but in terms of his performance it was really good."
