Manchester United's young brothers Amir and Gazik Ibragimov play together vs Liverpool in academy

Manchester United youth prospect Amir Ibragimov enjoyed a special moment when playing with his younger brother in an academy game against Liverpool.

Amir will celebrate his 16th birthday in April, but he's already one the most highly regarded young talents in the academy and the Manchester Evening News revealed last season he'd trained with the first-team.

It's unusual for a 15-year-old to train with the first team but Ibragimov is considered one of the club's leading prospects.

Furthermore, the midfielder featured in a 5-3 win for United's academy against Liverpool this weekend and he played alongside his younger brother Gazik (14).

The Ibragimov family proudly shared photos of Amir and Gazik after the match, in an unforgettable moment for the brothers.

Amir also posted the photo on his personal account with the caption: "Happy to celebrate the win, and share the pitch with my younger brother."

Amir was born in Russia and he was initially part of Sheffield United's academy after his family moved to England. He has since captained United's Under-14s and Under-15s and he's expected to feature for the Under-18s again before the end of the season.

He will stay with United throughout his scholarship period until he is eligible for professional terms when he turns 17. The youngster is eligible to represent Russia and England, and he's already featured for the Three Lions at youth level.

Amir and Gazik's youngest brother, Muhammad, also plays for the academy after recently switching from Manchester City.
