Malachi Sharpe is a Scottish professional footballer who plays as an forward or midfielder for Manchester United U21s in the Premier League 2. Malachi is the first cousin of former England international Viv Anderson.

Club career

Sharpe started his career with local club AFC Vernon, but was scouted by Derby County at the age of nine. Although there was also interest from Notts County and Nottingham Forest, Sharpe decided to join Derby because "the set-up there was of a higher standard". After seven years at Derby County, Sharpe signed for Manchester United in 2021. He currently plays for United's U21 team.

International career

Although Sharpe has represented Scotland at youth level, he is also eligible to play for Jamaica and England. He made his international debut on 27 October 2024, for Scotland U17 in a 3–2 win against Northern Ireland in a U17 UEFA Euro Qualifier, scoring a header in the 79th minute after a cross from Ben Doak. He made his debut for Scotland U19s in a 0–0 draw with Bulgaria U19 in the U19 UEFA Euro Qualifiers. In his next two games, a 3–1 win against Andorra U19 and a 2–1 win against Serbia U19 in the same competition, Malachi scored two goals, one in each game.

Style of play

Sharpe has been described as a winger who is "quick, direct, and has an eye for goal." He is also noted for showing a "willingness to take players on and get in behind defences," while his "pace and quick feet make him difficult to contain."
