USA youth international Matthew Olosunde praised by Manchester United coach Nicky Butt

Matthew Olosunde only just recently officially signed with Manchester United and he's already drawing praise. Shortly after making his debuts for the club's U-18s, youth academy manager Nicky Butt had this to say:

"He’s one that’s been ongoing for a while. With the clearance, it took a while, but we’ve got him.

"He’s a good player, a nice lad and a really good athlete. Hopefully, we’ll see a lot from him in the coming years because he’s someone we’re really excited about."

Olosunde -- a right back, center back, and winger -- signed with the storied English club on January 29th, but couldn't suit up for the club until March because his international clearance was delayed.
