Teenage winger Shola Shoretire has been promoted to first team training at Manchester United after agreeing his first professional contract.
Shoretire, who turned 17 last week, has been starring for United's U23s and has trained with the first team on an ad hoc basis over the past two months.
However, recognising his progression, manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer brought Shoretire into first team training on Sunday and he will remain there while he continues to improve.
Shoretire rejected advances from Paris St Germain, Barcelona, Juventus and Bayern Munich to commit his future to United who are expected to formally announce the signing of his first professional contract this week.
Shoretire combined well with new signing Amad Diallo to score a hat-trick for United's U23s on Friday as they came back from 4-2 down to win 6-4.
He is widely tipped by coaching staff to make his first team debut this season.

honestly speaking, midfield, wings, striking etc ain't areas we should so focused on, YEs we need to improve in those areas as well but the main position 2really focus on is our central defence. in our u23 they're victimized due to poor CD they've & so is our main team packed with UNCREATIVE, TIMING, STRONG CDs who only knows diving & shouting 4off-sides when they know nothing of Off-side TRAPS. our great legendary SAF once said;" great strikers will win u games but powerful/strong defenders will bring u TROPHIES", so if Ole is serious off bringing Trophies@old TRAFFORD ,he should throw some

Ole talk more than his actions. Ggive hope but no result. Act like he is someone with alot of knowledge. Pride will get him a sack. David Moyes sud hv been given more time n MU wud hv won afew tropies. Ole sud b sacked.
winning n losing is part of d game. But many times he make late changes when losing n sometimes it work but most time it's too late. U dont expect miracles.

That's how United should work on young academy players to become a star while playing alongside matured star players in the first team instead of focusing on other players and buy them with huge sum of money only to become a flop like Sanchez, Di Maria, Falcao, etc.

Shola, Hannibal, Higuil and Diallo Should All Be in the First Team By Now!!..But Defence Is A Worry ..I don't trust that Defence anymore as De gea, Maguire and Lindelof are a joke Right now.
