Wolves academy clinched a notable double after following up victory over Liverpool by beating Manchester United away to make it three successive wins.
Victory was Wolves' first away to United in a decade at youth level, with the Compton cubs coming from behind to win 2-1 after falling behind to a 15th-minute penalty from United captain Oliver Norwood.
But Wolves equalised through England schoolboy striker Nathaniel Mendez-Laing, who found the bottom corner after Jack Spray had a shot blocked just before half-time.
Mendez-Laing grabbed the winner midway through the second half when he netted with a deflected effort.
The win follows hot on the heels of a 1-0 win at home to FA Youth Cup semi-finalists Liverpool and a 2-0 success at Bolton.
Wolves finished the game with five schoolboys, including 15-year-old whizzkid Zeli Ismail.
