Fabrizio Romano reports former Man Utd forward very close to joining European club

Former Manchester United forward Shola Shoretire has reportedly landed in Greece to sign for PAOK. 

The 20-year-old recently agreed personal terms with the Greek Super League champions. 

Journalist Fabrizio Romano has now posted a video of the player at the airport in Greece to sign for PAOK. 

Shoretire left United as a free agent at the end of last season after failing to agree a new deal. 

Clubs in England and Spain were credited with an interest in the forward, while he was also linked with the Saudi Pro League and Major League Soccer. 

However, the English footballer decided to sign for PAOK, one of the most successful clubs in Greece.  

Shoretire joined the Red Devils at the age of nine and progressed through the youth ranks to earn his first-team debut in 2021 against Newcastle United.

However, he failed to gain more first-team opportunities as he only made only five appearances in all competitions. 

The young forward was sent on loan to Bolton Wanderers for the second half of the 2022-23 campaign. 

But he failed to make a huge impact as he scored a single goal in 16 League One appearances. 

Man United were keen to extend his stay but couldn’t agree to a new deal, leading to his departure at the end of last season.
