Shola Shoretire sorry Man Utd debut happened without fans | OneFootball

Manchester United whiz Shola Shoretire was sorry he made his Premier League debut at an empty Old Trafford.

The 17 year-old came off the bench for victory over Newcastle.

He said: "With the fans, it makes it 10 times better but still to come on at Old Trafford, looking around me at the size of the stadium and looking where I would sit as a fan and finally playing on the pitch, it was a great moment.

“My family and friends would have hopefully been watching on TV and they would have been proud. I checked my phone afterwards and it was crazy with my family, school friends and cousins messaging.

"When I travelled to Turin for Real Sociedad, I was thinking I might get on because we were winning so I could have been disappointed but I just came back and worked hard in training again and I hoped for the best this time, and I am happy and grateful for the opportunity."
