Manchester United's newest emerging star James Wilson has admitted his debut could not have gone any better after scoring twice to help his side beat Hull City 3-1 on Tuesday night.

The 18-year-old youth team product scored from a Marouane Fellaini knockdown just after the half-hour mark before adding his second after a shot by the Belgian midfielder had been saved in the second half.

"It was a great feeling, you can't compare it to anything else," Wilson told MUTV.

"The first goal was just sheer euphoria and then the second was just a great experience. The ground is a lot different without 75,000 people, but just to play here even in front of a small crowd for the Under-21s is still a great experience to play on such a ground. With all the fans here tonight it was even better."

Wilson almost made his first-team debut under former manager David Moyes last month when he was named on the bench for the 4-0 victory against Newcastle. Born in Staffordshire, Wilson has been playing for United's Under-21 side since December after being promoted from the Under-19s and scored a hat-trick against Wolves in March. Now he is hoping for more opportunities with the first team.

Wilson said: "I feel like I can deal with the physicality and pace of the game. I just need to try to get as many games as possible under my belt for the experience. If you're getting on in the club, you have to be progressing so obviously scoring for every age group is a good sign. I've got where I am now but I have to kick on."
