Nigerian Defender Trains With Manchester United First Team Ahead Of Europa League Tie Against Celta Vigo

Promising Nigerian youngster Matthew Olosunde is inching closer and closer to being promoted to Manchester United first team.

Four days after traveling with the first team squad to London for the Premier League tie against Arsenal, Jose Mourinho invited the right fullback to train with the first team on Wednesday.

The 19-year-old Olosunde was among the 24 players that trained at Aon Training Complex today ahead of Thursday's Europa League semifinal second leg clash against Celta Vigo at Old Trafford.

The United States youth international joined Manchester United in March 2016, and can't be included in the B List for the Europa League since he has not spent two uninterrupted years at the club, having been omitted from the A List.

Matthew Olosunde logged 90 minutes for Manchester United U23s in their 2-2 draw with Arsenal on Monday, May 8.
