Are three Russian brothers in charge of the future of Manchester United? One trained with the first team at the age of 15 and defeated Liverpool twice in one day, and Sir Alex Ferguson is a fan.

Not many Manchester United players can boast they’ve beaten Liverpool twice in one day.

But rising star Amir Ibragimov did just that back in January. Having scored the winning goal for United’s under-16 team against their bitter rivals, the teenager swapped pitches and helped the under-18s win their fixture with Liverpool 3-2.

It’s little wonder there is a growing buzz around Ibragimov in United’s academy, with the Dagestan-born forward even invited to train with the first team by Erik ten Hag.

But Amir is just one member of a very talented sporting family. His two younger brothers – Gazir and Muhammad – are also on United’s books, while his elder sibling Ibragim, 19, is an MMA fighter with a 6-0-0 professional record.

While the Neville brothers and the Da Silva twins have represented United in modern times, it really would be extraordinary if the three Ibragimovs one day ran out together at Old Trafford.
