Shola Shoretire is regarded as one of the best-attacking midfielders in Europe than other players of his age. Shola Shoretire turned 17 on Tuesday, and he has been playing for Manchester United’s U23s team for some time now.
He trained with the first team and is widely speculated by the club’s head coaches that the player will break into Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s squad.
