Manchester United fans express their thoughts after Erik ten Hag reportedly removed a former wonderkid from the dressing room. Discover the story behind the decision.”
Shola Shoretire received a warm reception from Manchester United fans upon his return to Old Trafford.
The 20-year-old had departed the Premier League club in the summer after his contract ended, but he quickly returned as a player for PAOK during a Europa League match.
Although he started on the bench, he was brought on in the second half, and the fans showed their appreciation for their academy product.
Shoretire first gained attention under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, becoming the youngest player in the club’s history to compete in European matches, a record he still holds.
After a loan spell at Bolton, he struggled to secure a place in Erik ten Hag’s plans, especially as the manager’s arrival in 2022 led to a significant reshuffle within the squad.
Reports indicated that he, along with other players, was moved to the under-23 changing area due to limited space in the first team.
Reflecting on his move to Greece, Shoretire acknowledged the difficulty of leaving Manchester but expressed confidence that joining PAOK was a positive step for his career.
