No Debut For Nigerian Duo As Manchester United Name Squad For USA Tour

Two talented Nigerian teenagers will not make their debut for Manchester United this month in the United States as manager Jose Mourinho has omitted both from the traveling party to California.

Defender Matthew Olosunde and midfielder Tosin Kehinde are presumably with the Red Devils U23 squad in Austria for pre-season training and have not been included in the first team's 27-man squad list.

It's a big blow for the right wing-back, who was hoping to make his maiden appearance for the first team of United in his country of birth.

Manchester United will play five matches while in America, against LA Galaxy, Real Salt Lake, Manchester City, Real Madrid and Barcelona.

When Jose Mourinho's side return from America, they will tackle Valerenga at the Ullevaal Stadium, Oslo on July 30, before facing Sampdoria two days later.
