Shola Shoretire Returns to Old Trafford with PAOK

Shola Shoretire is set to make a notable return to Old Trafford with PAOK for their Europa League match against Manchester United, marking 900 days since he last played for the club. The 20-year-old, who made history as the youngest player to feature for United in European competition, left the club in search of more first-team opportunities after struggling to secure regular playtime. The attacking midfielder joined PAOK in the summer and has since made eight appearances, outpacing his time at United. He expressed pride in his record but emphasized his determination to help PAOK win, noting he will not celebrate if he scores against his former team out of respect. Shoretire hopes to join an exclusive list of former United players who have scored against the club upon their return. His journey reflects the challenges faced by young talents in securing consistent first-team football at elite clubs.
