Two Nigerian youngsters have been included by Manchester United in their Premier League roster for the 2016-2017 campaign. Lagos-born central midfielder Tosin Kehinde and Matthew Olosunde have been handed an opportunity to make their Premier League bow in the new season, with both players making the Red Devils roster.
The two 18-year-olds have been classified as Under 21 players by Manchester United.
