Manchester United's interim manager Ralf Rangnick promoted 2004-born winger of Nigerian descent Shola Shoretire to first team training on Tuesday, March 22.

The Red Devils have published the latest training images on their official website and Shoretire was among the academy stars invited to train with the first team at Carrington Training Ground.

Shoretire was named in the England U18s squad for their friendly matches with Sweden and Denmark in Marbella on March 25 and March 28 respectively.

He was supposed to link up with the Young Lions squad in Hertfordshire on Tuesday before their trip to southern Spain.

The Anglo-Nigerian has made first team appearances with Ole Gunnar Solskjær and Rangnick in the United dugout, including debuts in the Premier League, Europa League and Champions League.

In the current season, Shoretire has mainly played for Manchester United's development teams (U21s and U23s) and continues to impress with a goal involvement of seventeen (8 goals, 9 assists) in 25 matches.

He was nominated for the Premier League 2 Player of the Month for February 2022 but missed out on the accolade to Crystal Palace's Jesurun Rak-Sakyi.
