West Brom's Super Eagle Semi Ajayi To Show Off His Defensive Skills To Manchester United
Published: June 11, 2020
Nigeria international Semi Ajayi has a big task on his hands when West Brom travel to Old Trafford, where they face Premier League giants Manchester United ahead of the league restart, allnigeriasoccer.com reports.
According to the Telegraph, the Red Devils and the Baggies will face off in two friendlies on Friday, June 12 as part of their preparations for the resumption of the season.
With two games taking place same day, it is all but confirmed that West Brom's first choice center back Ajayi will be handed a run-out by manager Slaven Bilic and he would be keen to impress the opposition manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who is on the lookout for potential signings ahead of the opening of the transfer window, though defence is not a priority for the Norwegian football tactician.
The last time Ajayi faced a Premier League team was back in January when West Brom were beaten 1-0 by West Ham in the fourth round of the FA Cup, a game to forget for the Super Eagles star as he took the walk of shame in the 72nd minute for repeated fouls.
Aside from that blip, the former Arsenal U23 captain is having another outstanding season for his club and has forced his way into the starting lineup of the Super Eagles.
The ball playing center-back with excellent aerial ability has tallied five goals in the Championship, and he could come up against former international teammate Odion Ighalo tomorrow.
