Direct kick off goals in football are always spectacular and breathtaking. One such happened in a recent match between Manchester United and Charlton Athletic’s under 18 teams as youngster Aaron Henry of the latter scored an astounding long range goal from the center spot just after kick off!
The 16 year old midfielder ran off to the ball soon after the first touch and shot it across the field as the unsuspecting United goalkeeper got beaten as the ball lobbed into the net.
Charlton’s official Twitter account posted the video that has been circulating on social media and gathering everyone’s attention. Check it out below-

The Addicks fans have been going crazy over the teenager after this marvellous showcase of flair, asking the club hierarchy to “Sign him up!!”, as one supporter retweeted.
The Red Devils youth were beaten 4-2 in the match last week, as Charlton youth have maintained their good track record with their 3rd victory this season, previously destroying the Hull city youths 7-1.
Henry is becoming a crucial member of the young squad, already starting two of their last three games, and with performance like this can soon be promoted to the senior team and have a taste of EFL Championship football.
