Manchester United have reportedly agreed a 'lucrative' first professional deal with Shola Shoretire.
The 17-year-old, who is capable of operating in a number of different forward positions, has scored twice and registered two assists in 12 Premier League 2 appearances for United's Under-23s this term.
According to the Daily Mail, Shoretire's performances at youth level had attracted attention from the likes of Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Juventus.
However, the report claims that the Red Devils have now agreed a professional contract with the teenager, who has already trained with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's first-team squad.
The former England Under-16s international made his UEFA Youth League debut at the age of 14 and has been tipped to make the breakthrough into the first team before the end of the campaign.
Shoretire played the full 90 minutes as United's Under-23s side beat Liverpool Under-23s 6-3 last weekend.

Real Madrid have reportedly agreed a four-year deal with Bayern Munich defender David Alaba.
The 28-year-old's existing contract at the Allianz Arena is due to expire at the end of June, and a number of clubs have been credited with an interest in the Austria international.
Liverpool, Manchester United and Chelsea were all thought to be in the hunt for the versatile defender, but according to Marca, Madrid have won the race for his signature.
The report claims that Alaba has already agreed a four-year contract with Zinedine Zidane's side, with the move to become official once his agreement with Bayern has expired this summer.
The Austrian has again been a key player for his German club during the 2020-21 campaign, contributing two goals and one assist in 25 appearances in all competitions.
Alaba, meanwhile, has made over 400 appearances for Bayern since debuting in 2010.
