Shola Shoretire: 14yrs, 10mons, 10days...
Fourteen years, 10 months, 10 days - Man Utd's newest young starlet Shola Shoretire sets debut record
The Reds' latest academy gem has set a new UEFA Youth League mark in the clash against Valencia
Manchester United starlet Shola Shoretire has set a new record as the youngest player to see action in the UEFA Youth League.
The winger, just 14 years, 10 months and 10 days old, made his debut in the 2-1 win over Valencia - and is also believed to be the youngest player the Reds have fielded in an official youth team league or cup match.
He beat the previous UEFA Youth League mark of Benfica goalkeeper Mile Svilar, who in turn succeeded Real Madrid Iker Casillas as the youngest to appear in the Champions League.
United manager Nicky Butt (as in Ike or Otule), who also named 15-year-old Will Fish on the bench for the Under-19s contest, sent on Shoretire for the final 15 minutes of Wednesday afternoon's clash to replace Nishan Burkart.
The youngster, who is eligible to play for Nigeria but has caught the eye of England youth team selectors, got a pat on the back from team-mate Angel Gomes, who has already made his senior United debut.
The forward tweeted: "2-1 win to finish the group unbeaten. Great result! Also a massive shout out to all the debutants and 14 yr old Shola making his debut."

Shola Shoretire became the youngest ever Man Utd player to ever appear in a official youth league/cup game.
Phil Neville's 16-year-old son Harvey also got a run-out as a 71st-minute substitute.
Goals from Burkart and Aiden Barlow gave United a win that sees them top their group unbeaten.
United have named teenagers Mason Greenwood and James Graner in their 19-man travelling party for the Champions League game at Valencia on Wednesday night.

Form is temporary; Class is Permanent!
Liverpool, European Champions 2005.
We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp

The thing is, nobody can tell what will eventually happen to kids like this. So young and exceptionally talented, but does anybody remember child prodigies like Bobby Adekanye, Hakeem Makanjuola and of course Chuks Aneke?Eaglezbeak wrote:Deli Ali junior!Damunk wrote:This boy is an age cheat.Polly wrote:Where are the ageologists?

But with the frantic scramble for his 'signature' as a child (Holland, Spain and Naija an onlooking distant third) on would have thought he was the heir to Messi's throne.

Those kids were either not trained well in fundamentals at their academies, or they were age cheats. Nothing else explains their failure to develop as superstars.
We have been brainwashed by the Premier League that it's the best in the world. Nonsense. It's the best brand

He says that we are currently "brainwashed" into believing that the Premier League is the best competition in the world, and that we are now a long way off dominating the Champions League again.
Gary Neville: Mirror: 12/23/14
I think Spain’s by far the best league.

The difficulties of statistical thinking describes a puzzling limitation of our mind: our excessive confidence in what we believe we know, and our apparent inability to acknowledge the full extent of our ignorance and the uncertainty of the world we live in. We are prone to overestimate how much we understand about the world and to underestimate the role of chance in events -- Daniel Kahneman (2011), Winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics
