UNITED YOUNGSTER LINKED WITH POSSIBLE CELTIC MOVE

When it comes to giving youth chance, English Premier League giants Manchester United are fondly known as one of the best and most consistent teams in the world to do that. Over the years, we have seen a lot of youngsters rise up the ranks at the youth academy at Old Trafford although not all of then go on to reach the set expectations, the list is still growing. One of the current and most recent starlets the club boasts of is England youth inrernetionak star Shola Shoretire. The youngster has already been reported to be attracting a lot of interest from clubs who want to sign him on loan, but the Red Devils have kept on turning down those proposals as they reportedly have plans for him.

Shola was handed his senior team debut by former United manager Olé Gunnar Solksjaer as the Norwegian boss gave the young attacking midfielder the mod to play for the first time with the serious team both in the Premier League and in the Europa League. Since making his debut, there have been talks about whether or not United can have enough patience for his growth and development or if he would be allowed to go out on loan to gain more game time and experience.

That being said, Scottish Premiership club Celtic are said to have identified the player as a loan target and they are reportedly ready to get the deal done as early as possible - probably when the summer transfer window opens for business in a few months. United are highly unlikely to sanction any deal that would see Shola leave Old Trafford anytime soon because it is believed that there are plans in place for hkn to remain with the first team for the remainder of the current season and at the start of the next one.
