Reds complete Nigerian deals
-
Manchester United have tied up the double signing of Nigerian teenagers Okoro Osagepamwen and Kelechi Kalu.
Osagepamwen is a central midfielder and Kalu a striker and both impressed United youth team supremo Paul McGuiness in a trial last year.
The pair were both 17 at the time and have agreed to train with the youth team and sign professional deals at Old Trafford when they turn 18 this year.
"We sent out four of them for trials with Man United and they drafted two out of the four into their youth team," agent Dominic Egbukwu told Tidesports.
"They are Okoro Osagepamwen of Bayelsa United and Kelechi Kalu (Dominion FC).
"They will be with the youth team until they turn 18 and sign professional deals." -
Finally United going the African way? Anyway, they're still 18, lots more years in front of them if they were to seriously challenge a place in the starting 11.
Cheers.
