Pacy Winger Of Nigerian Descent Quits Manchester United After Rejecting New Contract

Published: September 11, 2020

According to the PA News Agency, Irish-born starlet of Nigerian descent, Deji Sotona has quit Manchester United after rejecting a new contract.

The Red Devils offered the promising teenager a three-year professional contract but the parties couldn't reach an agreement because the player's wage demands of just under five figures per week was considered excessive.

In addition, Sotona decided to move on to pastures new because he feels his chance of breaking into Manchester United's first team is not attainable, with the likes of Dillon Hoogewerf and Shola Shoretire also pushing for promotion.

A pacy winger, he signed a scholarship with Manchester United in the summer of 2019 and made 15 appearances in the U18 Premier League last term, scoring 4 goals.

United have more or less confirmed that Sotona has departed the club as his player profile has been deleted from the club's official website and he's no longer listed on the U18 and U23s roster.

The 2002-born player also featured in the FA Youth Cup and EFL Trophy last season.
