Shola Shoretire, 14-year-old Is Manchester United Youngest Player by CNARIOjoseph(m): 4:53pm On Dec 12, 2018


14-year-old Shola Shoretire has made Manchester United history by becoming the club’s youngest ever player to appear in an official youth league/cup game.

Shoretire came off the bench in Man United U19’s 2-1 Uefa Youth League win over Valencia on Wednesday, also making him the youngest player to feature in the competition to date at the age of 14 years and 314 days.

Shoretire makes Man United history: five key things to know…
1. Shola Shoretire was born in 2004.
2. Playing as a winger, he has trained with England youth teams but is eligible to represent Nigeria.
3. The 14-year-old was called up to Nicky Butt’s UEFA Youth League squad on Monday.
4. Mason Greenwood and James Garner were promoted to the senior Champions League squad.
5. Shoretire is the youngest player to appear in an official youth league or cup game for Man Utd.

The winger has already been called up to an U23 training camp in Austria over the summer, with Man United coaches describing Shoretire as an ‘exceptional talent‘, and has now taken the next step on what looks to be a promising career.

Shoretire has trained with England youth sides in recent years but is also eligible to play international football for Nigeria.

The class of 2018?
We all know about the famed ‘class of 92’ group of youngsters that went on to achieve untold success at Manchester United.

It would appear the Red Devils have once again begun to embrace youth, with Shoretire’s place in the U19 squad being opened up by Jose Mourinho calling up starlets Mason Greenwood and James Garner to the senior squad for their Champions League game against Valencia on Wednesday.

Congrat bro, Nigeria has many strong and talented footballers that can compete with the likes of messi and cr7, win world cups but due lack of interest in grassroot devolopment by govt and other football agencies, careers dies.

shame on Nigeria for claiming any name that sounds familiar. in as much as he has Nigerian parents, I bet buhari's life that super eagles will not smell even his mess.

Rubbish! until we get things right in this country as a whole and start by displacing buhari, talents would continue to elude us. We were lucky to have Okocha that convinced iwobi who would have preferred bench in England than to play for super chickens. Dele Ali and I spits on this government.


meanwhile. grin

Good one,
let start seeing NFF rushing to eat where they didn't sow, give the boy some few years and when they notice he is becoming an emerging star you will see Nigeria putting pressure on the boy and his family to come and play for Nigeria but they will not plan to help the boy develop his football now.

Can you explain what you want the NFF to do?
Can you also explain how the English FA is helping the boy?

The Man Utd youth team is full of 'Nigerians': Michael Elechi, Ademipo Odubeko, Ayodeji Sotona and Shola Shoretire

Although comparing the size of Ademipo Odubeko to his oyinbo teammate below, this guy has to be a true Nigerian. I wonder how old he really is?

He's a British citizen. Nigerian only in name, just like Dele Alli.
