PALMEIRAS starlet Endrick is causing a buzz amongst football fans on social media following his stunning goalscoring acrobatics.
The 15-year-old striker, rumoured to have attracted Manchester United interest, netted a superb overhead shot for the Brazilian club’s Under-20s side.
Endrick, also reportedly on the radar of Liverpool and Manchester City, walloped in a top corner effort in the Sao Paulo Youth Cup.
The forward expertly executed his bicycle kick in the 13th minute of his side’s 5-2 demolition of rivals Oeste on Wednesday.
And the player’s exploits have seen him earn plaudits from Fifa’s official Twitter page with the account highlighting the player alongside past Palmeiras greats including 2002 World Cup winner Rivaldo.
Man United, who play West Ham later, are thought to be monitoring the teenager’s progress.
And his playing style has seen him likened to Real Madrid star forward Vinicius Jr.
It is claimed both Brazilians have the same agent representing them.
Endrick is currently prevented from signing a professional contract until he becomes 16
