Manchester United could see multiple players exit this summer, now it seems one 20-year-old could be going for free.
This summer will see Ineos keen to make their mark on Manchester United. So a large number of incomings and outgoings can be expected.
These exits will come in various shapes and forms, both big-money exits and players allowed to depart for free.
Anthony Martial is one player whose contract will be expiring and looks pretty unlikely to be handed a new one.
But there will be others, in the academy primarily who will be departing upon their contracts expiring.
Now it’s been reported one player is likely to go, here’s who.
Shola Shoretire looks likely to leave this summer
Shola Shoretire was once among the hottest prospects, even holding the club record for the youngest player to play in a European competition.
But despite that, the 20-year-old hasn’t been given a look in since the final day of the 2022 season under Ralf Rangnick.
A loan to Bolton last season also saw Shoretire struggle and now, with a couple of months remaining on his contract, it looks like he’ll be seeking a new challenge.
This is according to Manchester World, the report states that the youngster didn’t get a January loan due to his contract situation which saw him not signing a new contract.
United would welcome a new deal, but an exit looks increasingly likely.
Based on this season, it’s probably the right choice.
How has Shola Shoretire’s season gone for Manchester United?
This season, Shoretire has been in just one senior matchday squad, and he probably just doesn’t see how he will ever be able to make it at Old Trafford.
He’s been a U21 regular with 12 games yielding nine goals and four assists.
However, at 20, there are several players younger than him who seem to be ahead in the pecking order which points toward it being a good time to leave.
There’s likely to be substantial interest should he leave this summer, but it’s not something we think United would regret.
