Dire Mebude says “it’s always good to win another trophy” as the Under-18s reclaimed the Premier League National title.

City’s young charges secured their third successive Under-18s Premier League National title after overturning a 1-0 deficit to beat Southampton at St Mary’s Stadium.

Mebude was a real influence in the match for Wilkinson’s side, as he assisted Tai Sodje before getting himself on the scoresheet himself, with a clinical finish after a sublime Carlos Borges pass.

And appearing before mancity.com after the win, Mebude was joyous to be celebrating the win.

“It’s unreal, very good experience in front of these fans!” Mebude exclaimed.

“1-0 down, all the [home] fans on their side, it was tough, but we always knew we’re a good enough team to get back in it.

“We were 1-0 down against United, so I reminded the boys of that situation and it lifted us back up.

“We had to stay together the whole game because at times it did get tough.”
