D'Mani Mellor impressed for Manchester United U23s in victory over West Ham.

Mellor contributed a goalscoring double, and Shola Shoretire a pair of assists as United downed West Ham at a rainy Leigh Sports Village on Saturday afternoon.

Shoretire's pinpoint through ball was finished by Mellor in the 13th minute to put the Reds ahead, before Dan Chesters equalised for the visitors soon after.

Mellor restored United's lead just after the hour-mark, finding the bottom right corner as he finished through the defender's legs, before Connor Stanley sealed the victory, latching onto another fantastic pass by Shoretire and finishing well.

Stanley has recently returned from a loan spell at Atlanta United in the United States. Zidane Iqbal was also involved again, having made his senior international debut for Iraq the week before. You can watch highlights of the Under-23s' victory below.
