Nigerian midfielder Tosin Kehinde and Matthew Olosunde featured for Manchester United in their 1-0 victory over Arsenal in Premier League 2 on Monday night.

The 18-year-old hopped off the bench in the 67th minute, joining USA youth-teamer Olosunde on the Leigh Sports Village Stadium pitch, while Arsenal midfielder Aaron Eyoma was introduced with 12 minutes remaining.

Olosunde was the most impressive player of Nigerian descent tonight and showed off his offensive and defensive qualities.

The talented defender would have put the Red Devils 2-0 up in the first half, only for goalkeeper Keto to save with his legs, before he made an important clearance as the Gunners searched for an equalizer.

Kehinde has recorded five appearances in the league so far this season, with three of them off the bench .
