Manchester United wonderkid Shola Shoretire will reportedly sign a professional deal with the club this week, ending any chance of a move abroad.

Hopes are high that the 17-year-old attacking midfielder has a bright future ahead of him after glowing scout reports earned him interest from major clubs across the continent.

The England youth international has featured regularly for the club’s Under-23 side this season, despite still being just 17.

He has scored two goals in 14 appearances between the Premier League 2 and EFL Trophy, and has been tipped to break into Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s first-team squad before the end of the season.
