Nigerian Wonderkid Poised To Face Manchester United In Prestigious Tournament

Nigerian wonderkid Roland Idowu is in line to face Manchester United at the prestigious SuperCupNI, formerly known as Dale Farm Milk Cup.

Idowu has been included in Southampton's 18-player roster for the competition in Northern Ireland.

The Saints youth team play their first game against Co Antrim on Monday (July 24), then face Cherry Orchard the following day, before an intriguing match against Manchester United on Wednesday, July 26 at Showgrounds, Coleraine.

Former Watford striker Ogo Obi was coveted by the top clubs in England after starring for Manchester United at the Milk Cup three years ago.
