Man Utd's Shoretire ranked among 50 most exciting teenagers in world football

Published: February 11, 2022

Shola Shoretire has been ranked among the fifty most exciting teenagers in world football by United Kingdom-based football magazine FourFourTwo.

The Manchester United winger is one of two Nigeria-eligible teenagers that made the cut, the other being PSV rising star Nonso Madueke.

While Shoretire was ranked 44th, England U21 international Madueke is in nineteenth place.

Borussia Dortmund's Jude Bellingham is the top teenager in the world followed by Barcelona duo Pedri and Ansu Fati, Liverpool's Harvey Elliott and Bayern Munich's Jamal Musiala in that order.

Also on the prestigious list are Gavi (Barcelona), Ryan Gravenberch (Ajax Amsterdam), Jeremy Doku (Rennes), Yunus Musah (Valencia), Anthony Elanga (Manchester United), Yeremy Pino (Villarreal), Cole Palmer (Manchester City) and Charlie Patino (Arsenal).

On Shoretire, Mark White wrote : "Shoretire has been used out wide but is devastating in between the lines on the left, using his right foot to pick out passes and his diminutive frame to jink past defenders.

"The youngster is improving all the time and could well get more minutes in the first team next season, should Paul Pogba leave this summer."

Manchester United's current Young Player of the Year, Shoretire has made debuts in the Champions League, Europa League and Premier League.
