US Under-17 Prospect to Sign with Manchester United

New York Red Bulls academy prospect, Matthew Olosunde has drawn interest from Manchester United, one of the world’s biggest football clubs.

The 17 year-old defender enjoyed a terrific U-17 World Cup with the United States this summer, and garnered the interest of the English club. According to the Daily Mail, the American had been training with the club on and off for some time over the summer.

Now, as he nears 18, Manchester United are prepared to offer Olosunde a contract. As seen before however, this could be a troublesome process (a la Juan Aguedelo).
