Manchester United are going through a difficult stage regarding results or titles but, at the academy level, they are living an excellent stage. Every season, some product of the Carrington school sneaks into the eleven of the Red Devils. Years ago it was the phenomenon Marcus Rashford, Scott McTominay and the last one, Mason Greenwood while Dean Henderson waits for his moment fighting the title with De Gea.
All the success they are having when training is failing them in some operations in the market, either because they cannot close them or because those players never quite give the expected result. The last one that ended with a partial defeat was that of Jadon Sancho. The Englishman, a product of the neighboring City academy, is the great intended by Ed Woodward for the club but Dortmund has managed to retain him for another season. His great goal was resisted … although others came to bring quality to the team such as Telles or Cavani.
Thus, the club has returned to focus on the academy and, as reported by the English press, they believe they have the new Sancho among their promises. The chosen one is Shola Shoretire. Born in Newcastle in 2004, the Briton is already counting on minutes at the U23 in Premier League 2, the step before a possible debut with the first team.
In his early stages with the U23 he is having a hard time adapting and was even sent off for pushing an opponent to the ground in the derby against Liverpool after he entered one of his teammates in a very ugly way. So far, he has shown more character than football. Due to his style of play, as explained from England, he resembles the English international: fast, starting from the wing towards the center and with enough quality to pass, dribble and score goals.
The second youngest debutant in the history of the Youth League (14 years old), only surpassed by the most promising youngster of the Dortmund quarry, Youssoufa Moukoko, already lives with the spotlight and has the mission to replace a player who may never have play for United. “He is an exciting player. He is growing and can play in various positions. He has shown great maturity “, they explain from England. With Nigerian parents, in the Islands they already speculate what would happen if he went to the absolute taking several steps forward. First, he must succeed at Old Trafford.
