Nigerian Midfielder Set To Sign First Professional Contract At Man United

Manchester United have agreed a lucrative first professional contract with 17-year old Nigerian prospect Shola Shoretire, amid strong interest from European giants Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Juventus, Daily Mail reports.

Shoretire who is regarded as one of the best attacking midfielders in Europe for his age, will sign his deal this week, which is understood to underline just how much he is valued by the Red Devils.

Though he only turned 17 on Tuesday, Shoretire has been playing for United’s U23s, has trained with the first ream and is widely tipped by the club’s coaches to break into Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s squad this season despite the competition for places in his position.

Shoretire made his UEFA Youth League debut as a 14-year-old, the youngest ever for United, and has starred in the FA Youth Cup prompting interest from Europe’s biggest clubs.

However, after speaking to peers such as Michael Owen, Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood, Shoretire has been convinced to build his career at United.

Born in Nigeria, he was raised in Newcastle, and cites former Barcelona striker Ronaldinho as his idol. He plays off the left wing but is comfortable on the right or behind the striker.

Quick with good balance and an eye for goal, Shoretire has always played above his age level at United and now hopes to follow Greenwood and Rashford to the next level.

Wow! shocked
Long at last!!

We can't wait to see this happening.

In 10 years, just 4 African players have played for Man Utd, albeit on a part time basis not even full time.

But at Chelsea, Over 25 African players have played and shone like stars at Stamford Bridge.

The difference is definitely clear.

We wish the young lad all the best for the future.

Angelfrost:

Chelsea didn't pick players like Drogba, Essien, Makalele, Cole, etc, just as a favor or respect to their skin colors...
Cole?
ChukwuEmeka Cole or Babatunde Cole?
Na wa for u oooo.
Which African country your Cole come from?

Matthew 6:22 The light of the body is the eye: which eye, I thought we have two eyes? Yes, but this is.......

Eye of understanding who God Almighty is, who CHRIST JESUS is and who's the Holy Ghost?

1 Kings 4:29 And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea shore.

Matthew 12:40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the (� heart of the earth).


12:41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here.


12:42 The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here.


1 Corinthians 1:30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:


1:31 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.


Ephesians 1:18 (The eyes of your understanding) - being enlightened; that (ye - eye) (may know) what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,


1:19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,


1:20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,


1:21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:


1:22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church,


1:23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.


3 John 1:3 For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the truth.

1:4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth.


James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.


1:6 But let him ask in (faith, - nothing - wavering. For he that (wavereth is like (a wave of the sea) driven with (the wind - Evil, the prince of the power of the air - Ephesians 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience: 2:3 Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others... James continue... and (tossed - about).

1:7 For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. 1:8 (A double minded man) is (unstable in all his ways).





Matthew 6:22 continue...
if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.

John 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 1:5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.




6:23 But if thine eye be (evil - double is evil. No one can serve two masters! It's either he hate the one and love the other, or else he will hold to the one and despise the other! You can not serve God Almighty and mammon) ,



thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be (darkness double eye, double minded, evil, two masters! ), how great is (that darkness!)
